Re: Line 6 M-9 mods

I am going to get the audio and switch upgrade anyway. As far as the looper problem goes I guess not many people like to press reverse right after the second press of rec/play :) They did mark it as a bug but nothing was ever done about it. Other wise it works fine.

Thanks for the review and also the video of your setup!

I just had both an audio upgrade and switch upgrade done by this guy. http://jhv3.squarespace.com/m9-mods/

 I cannot say enough good things about his work. I had been seriously considering moving on to a more audiophile but less versatile  delay like the strymon time line  before having these mods done but now I see no need. The signal path is cleaner and more transparent, the noise floor is reduced, it now has variable output gain, the algorithms have less digital grit and of course the switches are hardwired, smooth as silk and accurate. i will have the same thing done to my M-5 eventually. One thing it did not cure was the loop degradation  that Jeff Duke described when going in to reverse  while in overdub mode at a point other than the beginning or ending of the loop, that i believe is a software issue they never fixed.
