Hi DJX.

I'm going to CC this to a couple other lists in case someone still has one. I remember talking to one other blind person with an M13 years ago, and he was able to use it just fine.

Keep in mind I don't have an M13 myself, but yep, as far as I know, it operates quite a lot like a traditional pedalboard. No menus as such.

However, this device is quite a few years old now, and at the time, Line 6 cut some corners resulting in a not so clean signal path, converters etc. Most people I see running the M5 M9 or M13 in their rig are buying modified, improved ones, from this guy:

That probably gets signal quality up to what could be called studio or pro level, not to mention adding some extra functionality, should you want that.

Personally, I'm trying to decide whether to go the route of sourcing individual pedals, the best of each type, then a nice power supply, switcher, board, etc. and put it all together, or to just grab an M13 and not worry about any of that other stuff. LOL

Chris, I read about the m13, wow! Sounds like anice little unit. It sounds like it doesn't have LCD screens and such to navigate through, but not sure; can you confirm or deny this?

Thanks, DJX

hmm maybe the Line 6 M13 stomp box modeller?
They've been out several years so there should be many on the used market. I don't own one, but I believe it acts a lot like a traditional pedal board.
