Paisley uses the Line 6 M13 Stompbox Modeler, “for some pitch effects and some really long delays where I’ll double delays up on a couple of things, use a short and a long delay in it, it’s a really nice piece,” (4:45).

"The guitarist’s rack gear mainly comprises analog and digital effect pedals—including Line 6 M13 for modulation effects, and analog JHS and Walrus—controlled via MIDI by the [RJM Mastermind GT16](http://equipboard.com/items/mastermind-gt-16-midi-foot-controller)." - [*Mix Online*](http://www.mixonline.com/news/tours/all-access-onerepublic/368344).

[Nicole says](http://www.reverendguitars.com/artists/12-questions-with-nicole-fiorentino/) she mainly uses the M13 for effects thanks to the way it sounds with her Reverend bass guitars.

I know everybody's using it, but man, it's just great. There's a reverb on it called 'Particle Verb,' and it's a sound I've been trying to make for years. It sounds like a drunken London Symphony Orchestra or something like that."

In this video around 2:30, Teppei on using the Line 6 M13: “I pretty much only use maybe some reverb and delay here and there. Possibly like some really, really minimal amount of compression if I want a little boost, but really minimal.”

“Our last album had a lot of sounds, so it was impossible for me to make them all come on at the same time, so I had to resort to a multi-effects. “And I was pleasantly surprised. I’d always had a bit of a thing - I guess a lot of people do - about multi-effects pedals, like they’re inferior, but for what I needed it for, it was great. And it has a looper in it, as well.”

Description

The soul of a pedal, the power of a rack.

A complete collection of immortal stompbox sounds
Teeming with over 100 immortal distortions, reverbs, delays, and more, the Line 6 M13 pedal offers instant access to an arsenal of history's most celebrated stompbox sounds.

Get 19 celebrated analog and digital delays, 18 distinctive distortions from creamy to crazy, 12 reverbs from modern (particle verb) to vintage (spring reverb) to ancient (cave reverb), 26 vibey filters including wahs and pitch effects, 22 tangy mods including expressive trems and phasers, and 12 compressors and EQs that squash, gate and color.

The Line 6 pedal lets you use up to four models simultaneously, in any order and in any combination. It's like having a gigantic pedal board (without all the tangled cords and overloaded power strips) stuffed into a convenient, easy-to-use package.

Included are all the models from best-selling Line 6 pedals and rack gear DL4 Delay Modeler, DM4 Distortion Modeler, FM4 Filter Modeler, MM4 Modulation Modeler, Verbzilla, Echo Pro and others.

Stompbox simple
The Line 6 M13 Stompbox Modeler is easy to use, just like a classic stompbox. Tweak your tones on the fly using the dedicated knobs. No menus, no saving, no hassles-just turn the knobs and you're done. And your settings remain when you power down!

Four bright LCD screens show parameter names and values, and the built-in chromatic tuner.

Built-in looper
The 28-second looper is always at the ready with dedicated footswitches for Play/Stop, Undo/Redo, Rec/Overdub, Half Speed, Reverse, Play Once, and Pre/Post. You're free to adjust your sounds while looping or overdubbing.

Up to 48 different pedal boards
Different arrangements of models, or pedal board "scenes," can be created for each of your gigs-one for your metal band, one for your punk band, one for your Top 40 gig…you get the picture. No more tearing up Velcro just to swap one or two pedals. Create and save up to 48 scenes. (Scenes can be backed up to your computer via MIDI in/out.)

Ins and outs
M13 Stompbox Modeler plays well with others. Take advantage of the stereo FX loop and put your other effect pedals in front, behind or even in between M13 Stompbox Modeler's models.

Prepared for any live or studio situation, Line 6 M13 guitar pedal features mono/stereo inputs and outputs (with True Analog bypass or DSP bypass), mono/stereo assignable FX sends and returns, MIDI input and output and two expression pedal inputs.

Total stompbox experience
Built tank-tough with all-metal construction, Line 6 M13 multi effects pedal is designed to survive on-stage abuse. From the chassis to the footswitches, it'll withstand constant stomping.

M13 Stompbox Modeler's treasured stompbox tones, built-in chromatic tuner, 28-second looper and bonehead simplicity will prove totally indispensable (not to mention highly addictive).

Check the Line 6 website for software updates that increase the power of your Line 6 M9 Stompbox Modeler!

Wonderful piece of kit

The M13 presents a breadth and depth of sounds and opportunities to combine them that is frankly mindblowing. It's been a trusty and reliable steed for many years. However, I currently use it in combination with a BOSS ME-50 and a Line 6 Spider Valve 212 (which I use to switch between clean, crunch and distorted settings with and FBV Shortboard), and to simplify switching and set-up times, I'm planning to retire all three of those, in favour of a GT-100. As per my review for that item though, the GT-100 seems incapable of replicating some of the filter and synth effects that I rely on in the M13, so it may have to stay in the rig until a software update is released for the GT-100.

Not as good as M9, great option for avoid other pedals

Used to have it, You can have 4 stompboxes at the same time with 3 different pedals per stompbox. The bad thing is too big and heavy. I prefer M9. Check my review of M9, the effects are the same.

A Versatile Tone Monster

This is one of the very few Line 6 products that I love. Possessing the capabilities of 100+ effects and a floorboard-like arrangement, it is incredibly easy to use for any guitarist at all familiar with pedals. Its best sounds are its reverbs and delays, as they accurately emulate the units they model. I'm not as familiar with the filters and mods to know how accurate they are, but they sound good to my ears. The one sort of letdown are the drives. They don't sound as organic as their real-world counterparts, as they lack warmth and complexity; however, they aren't terrible and I use them with confidence, even if they don't stand up to personal scrutiny.

Effects all in one

Instead of buying a dozen different pedals, I opted to get the Line6 Stompbox Modeler. It has good distortion, delay, reverb, among many other effects, and a couple different effect settings to boost your signal before it hits your amplifier. I added an expression pedal in order to mold the speed of my delay on the fly.

Great!

Great sounds, specially the modulations and delays. The distortions could sound better, but they're ok...

Irreplaceable

This is the workhorse of my rig. I use this for all of my mods and delays, as well as boost. The looper comes into play every now and then.

Replace Almost All Your Pedals

A more versatile board I cannot imagine. The amount of effects this thing emulates is staggering. And by emulating, I mean virtually exact copies. A/B'd several of the stomp models with the real thing and cannot tell the difference. This is the ultimate all in one pedal board. I don't know how much all these effects would cost individually but I know I don't have that kind of money.
