RE: Line 6 M13 (overdub feature request)

["Nathan Lang" <nathan@significantimagery.com>]

I have an M13, yes there is a overdub feedback control which you can turn
all the way up and overload with endless overdubs if you like.

At the other extreme, one of my only complaints since I got it is that if
you set it all the way down to "0" it should completely "replace" the
recorded loop after just one overdub(like you can do with the Boss RC-50,
Electrix Repeater, etc...) As said previously in this discussion, it
currently still takes many overdubs to completely fade out with overdub set
all the way to the minimum.

It only makes sense this should be corrected in a firmware update! For 
those
who don't need or want that sort of replace functionality, you could still
set the overdub setting somewhere between the min and max to your liking.

If any of you M13 / M9 users feel the same about this please let Line 6 
know
so they will address this in the next firmware update!

Sjaak, that was beautiful man! I really enjoyed that.

Am I too understand that there is any variable feedback control with the 
M9/13?

I know that the manual states that the old material "gradually fades with 
the overdubbing of new" but I figured that was more of a safety valve type 
thing to keep it from overloading with endless overdubs.

Sjaak said: "overdub set on 0".... so there is an overdub control?
Bill said:  "The variable feedback does seem to be somewhat slow to react"

I am seriously considering an M9 to replace my aging DL4. I have hardly 
ever

used the looper funtion in it mostly because of the lack of feedback. I 
would get the M9 just for the effects section anyway but a more functional 
looper would be a plus!
