Line 6 M5 Distortion Sounds

[@eastwoofer]

i was really surprised how good a lot of those were.

[@shnobeltone]

steve eastwoofer Yea same here, there are some good sounds in this box

[@cc_1983]

I think they are better than expected

[@reynaldguibone4859]

I like the overdrive because you can actually edit the bass, mid and treb.

[@faysalmahmud2232]

i have gone through several OD/Distortion pedals and couldn't find the sound i was expecting. i bought my M5 for delays and modulation but ended up using its distortions, they sound really good. my M5 became my primary for distortion and took away all other ODs from the board. my favorite is the Line6 Drive which is clone from the classic ToneBender

[@MrJackrockerman]

Yes yes and yes .👍

[@MrJackrockerman]

The overdrive,fuzz react to guitar volume very nice. The secret is you need to run it into amp simulator pedal and 15" speaker ... It need big headroom clean platform.. all the effects and distortion will sounds as good as the amplifier od . What a swiss army.🙌

[@elonmush4793]

Distortion mode is not the strongest point of this pedal. It might be helpful if you need a very specific sound like the Satisfaction fuzz. But the basics (overdrive, distortion) you should buy as analog dirt pedals. And everything else can be covered with this box competently. Modulation and delays are just gorgeous on the m5. Plus you have some filter oddballs.

[@elnour1049]

Sounds surprisingly good, I haven't bought it yet so I don't have purchase bias haha

[@jakepavey9487]

so could I use the noise gate on here to use alongside a seperate overdrive?

[@5olas]

I have the M13 version of this and it's my go to pedal on my PT Pro. I know it's personal opinion, but does anything sound better than a Strat into a VOX? +1 subscriber

[@mattgilbert7347]

A Red Special?

[@TheParanoidAndroid79]

No surprise here. I bought this pedal for delays and filters and ended up using it more for distortions and fuzz.

[@GuitaristPAX]

Once again ... a stellar review of yet another great Pedal ... I'm gettin' one ... thx ... See ya' at NAMM ...

[@michaelyeung3523]

great demo! May I ask a question: when I'm on the distortion models, there seems to be a lot of hissing and buzz on my end and there is none on yours, do you know how I could fix this problem? Thank you so much!

[@DavidOnTheRoadGuitars]

Is your cord or guitar properly grounded? I know that sounds silly but that's usually what I run across. Try lifting your hand on and Off the bridge see if there's a ground buzz. If it goes away when you're touching the bridge then the ground is alright but could be better. You'll have to open it up and put some copper shielding in around the pots. Usually helps with that.

[@DavidOnTheRoadGuitars]

Question; it's possible to hook more than a few of these m5s in a chain? Like one would do as a pedal board correct? In other words buy four of these etc., And link them together.

[@Daniel-ll3qp]

Isn’t that basically what the M9 is?

[@mattgilbert7347]

@@Daniel-ll3qp Basically.

[@669rd]

which mode would be the best for distorted JCM 800 type distortion?

[@esbensolgaardguitaretc.2372]

Johnny Winter made do with just one pedal; an old Boss CE-2 chorus pedal. How´s that?

[@mickjames5388]

If this were a digital dick-measuring contest, Johnny Ramone would have beat him (using ZERO) pedals. Big whoop!

[@jhuyn3]

Do you have noiseless pickups on this strat? Is it just an american standard?

[@jhuyn3]

Nevermind! Just watched more of the video!

[@shnobeltone]

Jason Huynh Its a Stock Eric Johnson Strat

[@Brucelectricmoose]

Sounds good to me

[@hectorvazquez2945]

Where's the pedal made

[@JazzRuck1]

only one effect? delay or chorus + distortion?

[@alvarosierralta5569]

Владимир Германцев it has 5 effects: Delay, Mod, distortion, and verb. But this video is only of distortion

[@juanmendozaroldan5366]

he doesn't like the metal distortion hahaha

[@stalinpeluka]

Alguien sabe de in tutorial de este pedal en español voy a comprarlo y quiero saber mas de este pedal pero loQuiero en español

[@DonaHannah-x8k]

But u can only have one effect at a time

[@G33MAN65]

I can't get mine to sound that good. I can't find all them distorts ions either.

[@megadrag]

rp360 win

[@bradmodd7856]

Maybe with a humbucker guitar some of those might sound ok, but none of those sound like anything that could go on a record...fizz city. The comps were good.

[@Tommy712rus]

Line6 @ Record

[@mattgilbert7347]

The first two were decent. Even the "Facial Fuzz" (ohh, tricky, nobody will guess what that one is based on) sounded usable. The Line6 Drive would pass a blind test against a high-gain analog OD. I'd bet $ on that. Every "sound" (pedals don't actually have sounds) in every pedal ever made can be made to work for a specific - or more general - application.

[@intietereo]

estan feas esas distorsiones :v chillan mucho o tu no sabes ecualizar correctamente :v

[@agusg.t.8950]

intietereo tus vídeos tampoco suenan muy bien eh
