Endless tweakability

Product Review
This pedal has made it very difficult for me to buy anything else. If I need a certain sound it's in here. High quality and high tweakability.
Definitely a little on the bigger side real estate wise though.
AMS made it easy as ever. And arrived in 2 days!

Utility pedal for pedal board
By: BJ
Submitted: 12/27/2021
Product Review
It's a nice pedal as utility pedal for only needing the one effect. Enjoying the tremolo, reverb, flangers. You can set the effect to a preset (up to 24) and flip through them on the fly. Renaming the effect is a pain, having to use the dials! The distortion effects are weak but can be used with your dirty channel to be usable like using a fuzz otherwise it sounds thin and not usable. I'm not having any grounding issues and I have it powered through a pedal board brick. I have it running in front of an orange tube amps.

I didn’t think I would like this pedal as much as I do I wouldn’t trade it in for anything. The only thing I don’t like about this pedal is the distortions I prefer my JHS distortion pedal. But other than that this thing is awesome!

I love this stomp box. It sounds great through all my amps. If I have 1 complaint it’s that I can’t change from 1 effect to another with a click of a button. It just turns the effect on and off.

Ive had the Line 6 M5 Stompbox for about 3 months now and I love it. I do however recommend purchasing the midi to usb cable that is recommended as if yours comes like mine did you'll need to do a software update. Otherwise it will not save your settings. Other than that it's a awesome well built product.

This pedal has honestly blown away my expectations, and changed the way I feel about Line 6 products. I originally bought just to have a versatile pedal to try out different effects, figuring if I really liked a particular effect, I'd buy a dedicated pedal. Nope, this one is on my board to stay. The non Dist/OD/Fuzz effects are outstanding (I really haven't played with the Dist/OD/Fuzz effects, as I already have dedicated pedals that I use). Add the expression pedal, and you have a killer piece of gear.

Add flexibility to your effects chain?
By: Jwevans67

Product Review
High quality tones with a simple, color coded user interface! I also use the EX1 Expression Pedal, which gives this pedal more flexibility on my pedalboard. It is there for simple analog chorus, digital delay, a volume pedal, wahs, nice envelope filters (Tron Up - Jerry Estimated tone), equalizers......really any single effect you need to call into your chain!!

Great pedal to have on your pedal board. Gives you a versatile pedal that can give you multiple effects to choose from. Helped save room for other pedals.

Multi-tool for a mini price = Solid buy -- Expression pedal is a must IMO

Product Review
Stand-alone multi-efx unit that has good-to-great sounds for what I do: Classic country/rock/soul. Disclaimer: I'm not a big efx user. This is my Wah, Leslie swirl, Delay, Light Drive, Phaser, Chorus, Trem. I've only used it for 15 gigs or so, but it's done well from tiny dive-bars to mid-sized outdoor gigs. To my ear, the sound-quality holds up at higher volumes (some modeling patches sound better than others, of course). I have a toybox full of stompboxes, but for gigging, this Line6 M5 box and a compressor is all I bring, and I haven't yet felt like I was missing a sound I needed. A really killer Auto-Wah would be a good addition.

I really like this pedal. I have a tightly focused pedal board with no room for extra pedals for just one or two songs. The M5 lets me call up whatever extra effect I need at a moment's notice to cover any bases. The term "swiss army knife" has never been more appropriately applied.

Bought the M5 to use mostly for a "shimmer" type of effect, which is great, but I also use it to get "that one effect for a particular song". The only thing that would make me happier would to have the M9, but I don't have that much room, or spare change!

Just Buy it. Look on Youtube or here on AMS. Like most of the reviews state, Just finding 2 or 3 usable effects is worth the price of this Modeler. I got mine from AMS on a payment plan so that was easy on the wallet. Hell the New MXR Reverb is close to $200 This pedal has that and tons more. Like I said in the beginning Just Buy It!.

When my amp went down during a session, I used this box to go straight into the mixer. It was so versatile I was in no rush to get my Marshall working! Great distortion setting, lush reverbs, and great delays. If you're on the fence and can't decide which pedal to buy,this stompbox is the one.
