Re: m13 - m9

Gareth, thanks! It is an M9. It does all of that ambient wash stuff well and more, great reverbs and delays. I was using the looper in it also in combination with a DD 20. For distortions/overdrives I prefer outboard gear and used several but mostly the Swollen Pickle for Y2K.

While I'm at it, I played virtually at ImprovFriday last eve along with fellow looper and bandmate Steve Moyes. Here is my set. The audio starts at 4:25 into the vid. I haven't edited it yet....I am using a laptop running Soundplant 39 at the beginning loaded with music box samples and some voice stuff that I had my computer read for the show.... http://justin.tv/jeffduke/b/278075340

peace out.

Jeff Duke posted a stunning ambient piece several months back. I was under the impression it was the M13. I can remember thinking at the time how on earth basically 4 fx pedals produced all that lovely noise..

I'm thinking of getting one of these for psychedelic/ambient textures, (in combination with laptop looping and special effects).
I'm currently using Guitar rig 4 for this.
 
What's the verdict guys? Pro's and cons?

Very nice delays. The other effects are reasonably good but not that psychedelic/ambient. Some interesting material in the filter models -- e.g., random filters -- that might be interesting piped into a good delay, but you would probably want to set this up on a parallel effects loop which it isn't really set up to do. The Octo and Particle Verb reverbs are interesting but not stunning.

For ambience, I would probably check out the Eventide Pitchfactor and Space pedals, but I haven't actually played with them.

I'm coming to more deeply appreciate the Korg AM8000R again. Step modulated phaser into pitch shifter with feedback into a fairly dense delay makes for a great ambient background. (I can thank Mark Landman for having programmed this stuff in before I bought mine from him. I probably wouldn't have discovered it otherwise.) I actually like it so much, I have two. However, I'm really only using one so I'm thinking I should sell the second one. You have to be willing to deal with a rack processor, but it's a stunning source of creative ambiences.
