Hi.
I'm his guitar player.
sup.
He's talking about the Line6 M13.
It does 75 effects and about 40 or so really well.
Pros
-universal tap tempo
you have no idea how useful this is. to be able to sync your delays and your tremelos and your seek wahs and your flangers and your butt sliding and just about everything makes life so much easier.
-delays.
a lot of people like the line 6 dl4 but rat on it for breaking. this thing is built like a tank and you can run 4 dl4s at once if you were so inclined (i rarely go over 2 different delays at the same time)
-Looper
This is just a nice bonus.I mean, this is a kind of looper thats only useful live. You can't save any loops. but you can go half/double speed, reverse and ****. which is great fun.
-expression pedals.
You said you didnt know what expression pedals do. They are what my den mother affectionately calls "foot knobs." all they do is change the value of one or many of parameters of different effects controlled by the knobs on the unit. so you could find a effect you like and have 2 settings (one in the heel position or one in the toe). or you can do crazy **** like play a delayed note and slowly increase the speed of the delay, use it for volume swells, feedback the **** out of a space echo, discover the secret to infinite sustain or some of the other things i use it for.
Cons
-distortions
I didn't realize how barely passable the distortions were until i got a radial tonebone.
drooooooooooooooooooooooool.
-big mother ****er.
I just built(am in the process of building) my own pedalboard. I had to build a separate board just for this ****er. kinda sucks, but theres no way its gonna break.
-tiny knobs.
This is just a personal thing, but I have giant ****ing hands. the knobs are tiny. its a pain in the ***.
