While many guitarists do use an M series pedal for gigs, in many situations the Helix, POD GO, or HD series will be a better choice. It simply depends on what type of multi-effects pedal you prefer to use. health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) or clinical trial data; The M5 is somewhat different, in that everything is distilled to a single effect at one. We think of this more as a ‘secret weapon’ to have on your pedal board. It’s the one pedal you need for any given sound that you maybe only need to use once in a set and can’t quite justify having as a dedicated pedal. Perhaps you have one moment in a song that needs a Ring Modulator, an Auto-Wah or a Harmoniser, and you don’t touch that sound again afterwards? The Line 6 M5 gives you the power to have those 'Special FX' sounds handy on your board for oyu to employ when you need them, changing them out again for anything else straight after! It’s any of 100 different pedals, whenever you need that sound! Remember, it’s also a tuner so that alone makes it a very clever buy! Replace your tuner with this and gain a ton of top-grade effects to boot! Compared to other options such as the Helix, POD GO, or HD series, the M series doesn’t offer an all-in-one solution. So if you want to chain your effects together, use amp modeling or run your rig directly to a PA, the M series isn’t the best choice. It’s also not a good choice if you don’t like the stompbox style layout.

To the extent legally permissible, you may be entitled to have certain Personal Information erased in the following circumstances: If you don’t like the idea of using a smartphone or tablet to edit your presets, this isn’t for you. If you’re looking for a high-quality tone for live use, the Helix or HD series will be better as the FX100 uses older modelling technology. The idea with the M-Series units is that you already have an amp that you love, and have no intentions of replacing it with technology. You also know about effects, and want to have only the greatest examples available to you, to use in the traditional way. These units give you a cupboard full of the greatest stompboxes in history, to use in your rig with your guitar amp. They allow you to cut down on batteries, power supplies and patch cables, whilst also bringing some very useful features like a fantastic looper, and some additional concepts like the ability to have numerous iterations of the same pedal running at once. Really, there’s a lot to benefit you, regardless of how and why you use effects. Let’s take a closer look...

For your pedalboard.

In a time when there are nearly endless options of high-quality multi-effect units that have a stunning variety of customizable sounds, different connectivity options, and other appealing features, the Line6 M5 proudly stands strong and frequently seen on artists’ pedalboards, more than 10 years after its original release, in 2011.

Rotary Speaker – I like to place it at the end of the chain since the Leslie is a speaker, therefore it would make sense that it would be the last thing on the chain. However, you can and should experiment with it in other places too. Particle Verb– The Particle Verb is an algorithm designed by Line6, and it is similar to the huge ambient reverb sounds that are commonly seen on modern pedals such as the BigSky. It sounds huge and it gives a completely different atmosphere to whatever you’re playing. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it. Line 6’s current top-of-the-line multi-effects pedals is called the Helix. The HX modelling engine along with a crazy amount of I/O & routing capabilities places this pedal as the ‘premium’ option for guitarists.Let’s take a closer look at what makes these pedals more appropriate to some players than others, depending on their needs, requirements, and available space on their pedalboard.

You may request details of Personal Information which we hold about you. Upon request, we will provide a copy of such personal information within a reasonable timeframe, generally within 1 month. If you don’t need the top-of-the-line features found in the Helix, the HD500X is the next best choice for a large pedalboard. You can also save your favourite combinations, or 'scenes'. This way, you'll be able to access them at a moment's notice using the simple interface. The tones of each effect can also be tweaked using the dedicated control dials. With these capabilities in your hands, nothing will stop you on your quest for the perfect sound. Perfect for gigs Lastly, I tend to place my M5 towards the end of my signal chain, since I mostly use it for delay, modulation, and reverb and that is where those pedals usually go. Due to its massive size and considerable weight, I’d recommend the Line 6 M13 to a guitarist who is looking to get a single unit to handle all of their needs, whether it is a matter of getting dirty tones, intricate delays, massive reverbs, and much more. Line6 does not manufacture a case for it, so you might need to find a large pedalboard/case or build one yourself.I haven’t heard of many guitarists using this for live performances and while it could work, you won’t be able to simply bend over and adjust an effect or preset if you need to. There are a few main reasons why the M13 is so easy to use. I’ll go through each main aspect below: Color Coding The main reason to consider the FX100 over a higher quality pedal such as the Helix or HD500X is the smartphone connectivity. If you like the idea of setting up your presets on your smartphone instead of on the actual pedal, this is a solid option. If your intention is to buy one of them to use more than one effect at the same time, you should think about your requirements carefully. As you can see from above, you have plenty of control over how you route your effects to your amp as well as MIDI control. Overall impression
