This just arrived. I tinkered for about 3 minutes before packing up because I got to get to Pactice with not my regular band. I know Mr. Igloo wants me to update but no time tonight and I need to get a usb c cable lol

Just gonna dry run on some of the dirts for tonight at this rehearsal. I have a long weekend so will update repeatedly with thoughts

Nice! Interested to see how you set it up for routing as far as pre or post. Looks slick af \m/

Really sharp looking pedal. Ha on the Mutron. Back in the late 70s I was using the OG!

I love this thing

Played around with a few of the dirts for leads into my 76 DRsoinded great. The real fun began after we finished rehearsing the set did some free dork jamming. I popped on lead synth so much fun and a huge gut with the bend I’m rehearsing with. They requested I use it in one of the songs in the set and then I let the sax player try it out with his setup and he declared he’s getting one
Looking forward into diving into the other hundreds of fx this eeekend

Is the parameter order as inconvenient as it looks?

You'd think e.g Gain/Tone/Level would be the important first page parameters for an overdrive, or Time/Feedback/Mix for delay. But it seems Line6 has just dumped the fx as they are on the other units without trying to improve the parameter order to better work with the limited screen and 3 knobs, resulting in more paging around to e.g adjust level when you increase gain.

I’m not a digital/tech/modeling/menu diving guy and I’m dumb as a sack of bricks (and haven’t even looked at a quick start guide yet) but I find this pedal to be extremely intuitive and easy to use so far

It's not about whether it's easy or intuitive, it's just that it takes a lot more back and forth paging than it should if the commonly adjusted parameters are not grouped close together. That's why I'm asking.

 

[spawnofthesith]

I don’t personally feel inconvenienced by the parameter layout

Won't go digital modeller. 2 days later, goes digital modeller.

"But I am just using it as a delay now."

For now you are. For now you are.

That sounds like fun...

No amp modeling on this

I’ve been gushing about this thing since announcement lol

And I was always a fan/user of the M series stuff

Thank god they got the memo about those M series footswitches

Never had a problem on the m9 or 2 m5s I have but they definitely weren’t great
