OT: New AWESOME guitar toy!

NeveSSL

Got tubes?
Hey all!

I got this about 2 weeks ago... it is freaking awesome!

This is the new Line 6 M13. Honestly, they absolutely nailed this product. There is no tone coloration from guitar to amp and the effects sound GREAT. This thing has over 75 effects and you can use up to 4 at one time. It has universal tap tempo, can be used with the 4 cable method (put some effects before your preamp, some after), and is built like a tank!

I had been planning on getting a Line 6 Echo Pro. I had one back in the day and absolutely LOVED it! But then I heard this thing was coming out and it has literally every single delay model from the Echo Pro, plus the Mod Pro, Filter Pro, Verbzilla, and DM4! For the same price! I was pumped to say the least!

I've got this thing running into my late 60's Selmer Treble and Bass and it just sounds AWESOME! The effects honestly sound like I have a bunch of really good pedals. :) The OD and distortion effects are pretty good, but I think still prefer (and will be using) pedals as they just seem to interact with my amp better. The ODs and distortions on the M13 are DEFINITELY usable, though, and sound pretty good, I just prefer pedals.

Anyway, here's a pic:

If you guys get a chance, check one out! They are GREAT. Oh, and I've had to sell a bunch of stuff to get this, so if you're interested in a Heathkit W4AM tube amp (hi-fi monoblock amp from the 50's), Futaba 8USuper RC radio, Boss PS3 pedal, or a BlackBerry 8830, let me know. :D ;)

Only with the "Clapton" add-on, which I got. You wouldn't believe how well Layla sounds now. :D

I wish it did, Brian, because I could truly use some more. :(

They are working on an advanced model and maybe a rackmount version, too, so there's still hope. :)

I have no idea what half of what you said means, but it sounds fun.

I don't either.....it's just slow at work today. :D
 
The cow bell skit cracks me up!
Glad you got a new toy Brandon! Cory has been tinkering on his Guitar lately also. The kids love it when he plays and they get to boogie. Maybe we should get them a few cow bells baby!

somehow, i have this feeling you would HIGHLY regret giving kids cowbells......LOL
 
Hey, I will bring your kid a toy chain saw or weed eater next week :) Talk about anoying! Some toys have more of the drive you nuts factor than others!

I bet a cow bell would be bad but I love to see kids bang on instruments of anykind. Kids are just naturally drawn to music. I take my toy instuments from home to church a lot as an emergency group activity when my 2 year olds I teach get to crazy or board with the same ol toys in the class.

I guess thats also why shows like Barney and the Wiggles (which is playing as I type) are such big hits. My 7 year old still loves the wiggles. Cory still can't belive those guys got so rich being so goofy. We have been watching them since the early days when there props were home made. I actually liked the old non-high tech wiggles from years ago if any of you parents know what I am talking about :). Sorry for the hijack!

On a Guitar note. My Dad actually made a guitar last winter. I need to bring it home and to the meet Sunday to let all you guitar guys take a look at his handy work. I also talked with a dude at home depo one day showing off one he made to a freind there and he was very, very particular for no one to actually touch it. He sells them to famouse folks and gets a very high dollar for them he said. He was talking about the rare woods and all he uses. Kinda neat. My dad is not as touch me not over his handy work :lol: He keeps telling Cory to bring it home to play it so I will grab it next week.
