Our resident axeman Rob Chappers, takes a look at the latest stomp technology from Line 6.
The M9 is a programmable, digital modeling recreation of over 100 different effects pedals.
Arranged as three active pedals, each with an A and B slot which gives you access to 6 stomps per bank (with three active at any one time). You can store your setups in any one of 24 pedal board scenes for gig friendly recall.
Rob has a healthy scepticisism of digital - being an analog rock valve purist at heart, but this unit appears to have passed his stringent tests to find a place on his Christmas wishlist.
