I think this is related enough to be on-topic for this thread. I
don’t believe I’ve seen anyone mention these:
Matt builds midi controllers in various sizes/configurations. I took
delivery last week on a DMC-6 configured to control the looper on my M9 and so
far I am very pleased. The layout directly mimcs the button configuration on
the M9. Other than the M9 LEDs not always matching the current looper function
(according to Matt this is a known bug with the M9 when using MIDI ),
it works perfectly.
He’s got various firmware versions. You can get one set up to
also change scenes.

delay/Line 6 M series audio mods
thanx for the
info and link Bill!
Yes please
let me know,that way i can make a decision wether i should take it to the
states this summer and have it done
but i think
ill take it anyway because of those loud switches;-)
Yes i had my
DL4 also moded and didnt regret doing the mod i did notice the difference,i
asked the guy from R3FX if he also did audio mods and he said that is not
neccesary and is all exagerated and a marketing thing cause no one notices the
difference
So i hope
this guy does it just as good as the ones that did the mod on my DL4
the one thing
i hope somebody would do is a jack to have a switch to change from efx mode to
looper mode,or at least a a single compact button midi switch that would send
cc´s!

delay/Line 6 M series audio mods
Hey Louis,
The issue with the M series stuff as compared to say Eventide or TC products is
transparency of sound. When i run through my timefactor or flashback I perceive
a clearer less colored sound and no drop in volume. With my M series stuff
there is a slight drop in volume, a touch more noise and coloration in the high
frequencies. Its not a huge thing and most people don't notice particularly if
they keep at least one effect on at a time. I have considered selling my M-9,
but I also realized that in order to achieve some of the complex synched
3 delays in a row that i'm found of using I would need three Eventide
Timelines or Strymon Time Factors. When I started to add that up, I thought
twice and I'm willing to risk the money it takes for the audio upgrade to find
out, and I definitely will get the switches changed. I never regretted
having my long gone DL-4 modded for audio upgrade by Keeley, i imagine the person
who owns it now is glad too. I had a second one at the time and in a side by
side comparison I definitely heard the difference in noise
floor and volume drop. There are a number of people doing DL-4 mods these days
for both audio and switches most notably Vertex, http://www.vertexeffects.com/
who has built
boards and customized DL-4's and other effects for guys like Robben Ford
, Nels Kline, Henry Kaiser,and Michael Landau.
The guy I
just found JHV3 http://jhv3.squarespace.com/m9-mods/ is
the only I have found so far that has tackled the same issues on the M-series,
there is a pretty detailed description on his web site about what he does. The
fact is, there are a lot of cottage industry guys tweaking and modding all
kinds of effects, amps and guitars, to make production factory made gear
sound better and/or more like original issue stuff. I'll let you know how
it compares.
