DSP BYP
Prefs - Turn the MODEL SELECT knob to choose True Bypass or DSP
Bypass. If you choose True Bypass, that will be activated when all FX
Units are bypassed, the looper is not running, and nothing is connected
to the external effect loop return. In that state, relays will switch your
signal to an all-analog path. As usual with any relay switching system,
you may hear an audible click in your audio as the relays switch. If you
choose DSP Bypass instead, you’ll get the benefit of hearing delay and
reverb trails smoothly decay, rather than being immediately cut off,
when you bypass.
Scenes - As you adjust an effect those adjustments are retained as you
switch away to a different A/B/C memory and back again—no save
function is required. It’s just as if you were adjusting different physical
stompboxes, each of which would still have the last knob settings you
made to it. The same is true as you switch scenes, swapping one virtual
pedalboard for another: when you come back to a previously used scene,
it loads with all the last adjustments you made to it.
If you prefer that scenes not remember your last adjustments, set the
Scenes (upper middle) parameter to MNLSAVE (Manual Save) instead
of
AUTOSAVE. You will then need to use the scene setup mode any
time you want to manually force a “save” of current settings to a scene:
hold
SCENES, step on the switch for the current scene, then step and
hold on that same switch again to complete the “save” (display will say
Copy Completed).
Relative / Absolute Pots - In REL mode when you turn a knob the
parameters will not jump to the position of the knob but change propor-
tionally to the amount of your parameter knob movement up or down.
When set to ABS it is not possible to make incremental edits of an
effect parameter. The parameter value always adjusts from the current
pot position.
FX Lp - The hardware send/return loop can be routed before all the
FX Units, or after any of them. You may also set the FX loop off in any
scene. Then going from one scene with the FX loop to one without lets
you, in essence, switch your outside effect on and off.

MIDI - Use “DUMP” to backup a scene, folder or all scenes to your com-
puter. You can also restore the factory settings. The second parameter
(lower right) is for assigning the MIDI channel your M13 Stompbox
modeler sends and receives. Get the Advanced Guide at www.line6.
com for details and download the Line 6 Monkey utility software to
check for available upgrades and updates of the M9 Stompbox modeler
firmware.
Gate - Think of the Gate as a special additional pedal that applies to
each scene. There is no footswitch control for this effect so only use
it when you always want the gate engaged.
THRESH (upper middle)
sets the threshold of the gate, turn this knob fully counter clockwise to
bypass the noise gate.
DECAY (lower middle) adjusts the decay of your
noise gate.
Contrast - (upper right) adjusts the brightness of the displays.
DIM ON/OFF (lower right) enables the dimly lit footswitch LED’s when
effect memories are bypassed (on) or disables them (off).
