Mesa Dual Rectifier (Clean) + Line 6 M5 (Video)

[fluff191]

This is the first video I made for Line 6. Lots more to come.

I used the clean channel on my Dual Recto and the M5 for some more mellow stuff. Check it out!

Thanks!

Sounds great! Are you getting free gear from them for trying out their stuff and demoing it?

They send me whatever they want demo'd and I just keep everything.

That is awesome. I am thinking about getting the M9 and using my MidiMate pedal to control it and my amps for completely MIDIfied rig. Those effects sound really good. Can't wait to hear the metal demo, would love to hear some effects on Ch 2 of your Recto in a high gain setting! Rock on man! I need to have my management get in contact with them. I want their G30 wireless system as well......

Thanks man! I am seriously thinking about getting an M9 to replace my pedalboard. The effects sound that good. I have the G30 and its probably the best wireless I have ever heard.

The M5 only does one effect at a time so for the lead I will use the Recto's distortion with something from the M5 on top just cause you asked! 8) (The main rhythm will be the M5)

Thanks for checking it out!

So, I have to say thank you for posting this video and further sparking my interest in these pedals. I got an M13 last week, used it live for the first time last night at a show. It sounds AWESOME. I set it up using my little 20 watt practice amp at home. The first time hearing it through my Mesa rig was plugging it in on stage lol. It was amazing. Going to set it up to change my channels via MIDI when I change "scenes" so that I can hopefully not need the Rocktron MIDImate anymore. Your video was definitely one of the final deciding factors in making me choose this pedal over other multi-effect units.

Cool man glad you dig it!! Now I am going to take a screen shot and send it to Line 6 to prove the videos are selling stuff haha

I've been using Line6 for years, but never tryed this models before. I was thinking of go all MIDI with GCX switcher/ground control but now... This models have relays so we can change amp channels with those? I guess they have what other MIDI controllers call Song Mode. We can save a bunch of effects we use in a certain song and then we just have to open that preset and we know,in that song, we have all the effects we stored for it! Have to research more though...

Here are a couple videos:
The first is Momentary Scene Change:

Latching scene mode (which can also be done on the M13):

I have mine setup like the first video's momentary scene mode, and instead of songs, I have it setup with all channel possibilities and basically have the "scenes" as follows:
Scene # - Amp mode
1 - ch 1; 2 - ch 1 + FX Loop; 3 - ch 1 + Solo Boost
4 - ch 2; 5 - ch 2 + FX Loop; 6 - ch 2 + Solo Boost
7 - ch 3; 8 - ch 3 + FX Loop; 9 - ch 3 + Solo Boost
10 - ch 2 + 3; 11 - Ch 3 +2; 12 - ch 1

Hope to set up the Midi changes sometime this week.
I have yet to experiment with running a 4 to 7 Cable method (running a stereo rig) to see how the delay/reverb effects do in the loop. If I like these effects in the loop, then the FX Loop might be engaged on everything. I have the pedal setup to run effect banks 3 and 4 through the loop (which are all delays and reverbs), and modulations, overdrives, compression in front of the amp. Hope this aids in your research.

Yes, I start to dig it now. Went to Line6 site and some foruns (and the links above-thank you)and now I understand all the concept that involves the M13 model. But to run a especific channel with effects (i.e.: ch 3 with compressor and od and switch to ch 1 with delay and chorus) we must have a MIDI controller like the GCX audio switcher so we can manage this switching options.

Effects sound good. Been debating on getting an M9 and a mini amp gizmo. Run it through the effects loop and keep the Maxon OD808 out front. What do you think fluff?
