Line 6 M5 Stompbox Modeler is simply superb

by Bahram Mokhtare from Newcastle upon Tyne, England, Britain
October 24, 2011
Music Background: Semi Pro Musician
I have used various stompboxes and multi effect units over the years. Many of them put me off after the fad wore out as they degraded the sound quality of my guitars and amps.

Best o... read more [+]ne i used previously was Boss ME8, but I had to do a lot of messing around such as removing fizzy unusable overdrives from presets and load them into user patches so I could put it through amp's effects loop with no at once control on stage. Eventually I went back to only using the pure sound of guitars and amps.

And then I discovered Line 6 M5. I liked the sounds and how they kept the integrity of my guitar and amps sounds. I checked the big M13 found it is great and versatile (can be wired through front and effects loop of amp at the same time) if you are a club band guitarist but too large for my use. Checked M9 found it is good if you go either in front of the amp or through effects loop but can not do both at the same time for appropriate effects.

I finally settled with buying two M5 units same price as M9 and yes I can only have 2 effects at once but great usable flexibility. I put one with expression pedal attached through the front of the amp for ODs, MODs and other appropriate effects, and put the other M5 unit through the effects loop of the amp for Delays and Reverbs. WHAT A GREAT COMBO AND SOUND, Or I can put the two M5s into my Boss stereo Loop Station when I need to. Thank you Line 6 for assisting me find my own tone. Well done. close [-]

This replaced 5 pedals on my pedal board. It's less noisy, more flexible, founds great, I don't have to worry about knobs getting bumped, and my pedal board weighs about half of what it was! Best bang... read more [+] for your buck I've seen. close [-]

A good jack-of-all-trades pedal

by Chris Pickenpaugh from Southern California
July 6, 2012
Music Background:
It's well-worth the price for its delays and modulations, all of which are easily adjustable and sound great. The small exposed knobs may make it less-than-roadworthy for some live players, but, as a... read more [+]nother reviewer wrote, this pedal's flexibility makes it like a Swiss army knife effect box in the studio. Bonus: its tuner is quite useful and easy to implement. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Daniel Fisher
This is one of those pedals who's price makes you think, "Why would I want to spend $199.99 on a single pedal?" This is because we're used to pedals this small being good at one, maybe two, things. It might also do some other things marginally well. But the Line 6 M5 Stompbox Modeler is an authentic museum of every great effect ever modeled by Line 6. It *IS* the DL4 Delay Modeler, the DM4 Distortion Modeler, the FM4 Filter Modeler, MM4 Modulation Modeler, Echo Park, Verbzilla, LiquaFlange, Space Chorus, Otto Filter, etc., etc., etc... And all the controls have their own knob; and you can read all the parameters at once! Plus, it's stupid easy to make any parameter move any amount, in any direction, just by moving a foot controller. Set a Min and Max for every parameter and when you move your pedal all of the assigned parameters will each move in their own amount and direction. You can then create incredibly complex sound changes with a simple sweep of your pedal. Pro-quality, stereo Ins/Outs means you can use this *anywhere* in you guitar, synth, vocal, or amp chain. External MIDI control allows you to change presets, switch FX on/off, simulate the expression pedal, and even sync the effect's clock with your sequencer or MIDI controller. Plus, it's got a tuner, a noise gate, and a choice of true hardwire bypass or the ability to have the effects trail off. The M5 is simply THE magic ingredient that will take your current sound over the top... that just happens to fit in your gig bag!
