Highly recommended, you can't beat the M9

I am a contemporary worship guitarist at a large church in Michigan. The M9 is the centerpeice of my pedalboard, at this point I can't imagine trying to find something to replace it. The M9 is very compact so it won't take up much space on your board. It will likely eliminate the need for many of the other pedals too, because the variety and quality of sounds with this thing is impressive. Some purists may prefer an analog drive pedal in front of the M9, but plenty of guitarists are happy with the drives offered. I've never met anyone not impressed with the delays. Our band plays a variety of styles of music and the M9 allows me to find the sounds I need with with a minimal pedal board. True bypass and an internal noise gate as well! Lots of good advice for getting your settings just right can be found online, check out "Line 6 Stombox Modeler Settings" on facebook. I can't say enough good about this product!

Great product

I am very impressed with the build quality, feature set and tonal quality. I was trying to build a pedal board and the cost and hit or miss pedal selection was getting expensive and frustrating. The Line6 m9 was the best answer for me. All the tone I could ever want in a small package. This is a must have for any one that wants to play through their favorite amp and needs fx.

M9, you dont need anything else

I have owned my M9 for just over a year now, and I am still amazed.

I have played countless shows with it, in all types of weather conditions and it has never failed me, its sturdy build and easy to use features are probably the biggest plus points, and with 6 effects per scene and 6 scenes I can’t see why you would need another pedal in your collection,

10 out of 10 Line 6!

I like it.

I use this more than my TC Electronics G-system while playing live because it is to easy to tweak settings 'on-the-fly'. My bandmates were impressed with my sound too. Highly recommended; this is the future... now!

A must have effect unit!!

The Line 6 M9 is a very powerful yet very simple unit to have! the size of this unit is no bigger than any of the Line 6 Modelers but 6 six times the ability. For those people who want s a ton of options in a nicely sized unit, this one is for you!!!

I consider myself a tone geek and was very happy with the quality of the effects. I really like the tap tempo feature as well! You can set the tempo while the effects are off unlike the DL4 tap feature. Please, do yourself a favor and check this unit out. for the price and quality... you can't go wrong!

Amazing Pedal! My new workhorse

I have owned this pedal for about 8 months - I know it's delayed, but I didn't want to jump to conclusions. I have put this pedal through the ringer and it continues to be amazing. I have never been a fan of multi-FX units, but this unit changed my mind forever. I could probably get by with just the M9, but I have a few old stomp boxes that I just can't part ways with. That's 100% just a matter of personal taste though - because this unit does it all.

I love the delays and reverbs (my primary use for this). The tremolos and other modulation type effect are also very good. I especially like that you can tap the tempo of the tremolos and designate quarter note, eigth note, etc. The drives and comps are believable and definitely get the job done - I have an old school RAT and Tubescreamer though so I've yet to use the M9 drives exclusively.

My only complaint is that when I'm dialing in settings (mainly for the delays/reverbs), the knobs that control the settings are a bit fiddly so it's hard to get it exactly where I want it. This could quite possibly be a result of fat fingers and unsteady hands though.

Overall - Amazing unit that sounds great and has excellent features. It will convince you to ditch your stomp boxes if you're not too attached to them sentimentally.

Great pedal, tons of features

This pedal is really quite amazing. It does everything I need/wanted it to do. I've never been an effects guy, so I wanted to try this out because it features a wide variety of options. It's extremely simple to set up and use. Unlike A TON of other multi-effect pedals, it doesn't suck tone (on or off). The true bypass on it is killer, but even the DSP bypass setting doesn't affect the tone much. It's also very quiet running, introducing barely any hum or buzz (again, in the signal or taken out). Having all the Line 6 modelers in one small box is pretty awesome, not to mention a fantastic value. This is nothing like the POD (Don't get me wrong, I personally like the POD's and I own a company that manufactures tube amps...), it's a totally different animal. Line 6 hit another home run with this.

great pedal, price is reasonable

So many people are complaining about the price on forums and reviews... because they know how great the effects are and what a steal it would be at $300 or less. You're paying for a brilliantly designed small foot print with all the great Line 6 effects. This thing is for people that want great FX in a small package, and it delivers. Only complaint is that I wish the modulations (univibe in particular) were a little better. But this thing kick a** in general. It is still a great value when you consider all the FX and features.... and the size and weight!

price too high

i was the first to try this out in my area its an awesome piece of equipment, most line6 stuff is, but even with saying that i would not buy it because i can get a pod x3 , or an m-13 for only $100 more the price is just too steep for what it does, line 6 needs to reconsider its pricing on this one.t
