Welcome to the M9 Stompbox Modeler v2.0 Advanced Guide. This guide contains in-
depth details of your M9’s features and functionality not included in the Pilot’s Handbook.
With over 100 Models and a Looper in one device, there’s a lot to work with. Our goal
with this guide is to provide you with the information you need to make it easy to find the
sounds you’re looking for.
In the chapters that follow, we’ll be referring to the six Knobs that adjust the various
parameters of the M9 effects. These are located directly under the LCD display.
As illustrated in the graphic below, in the top row left is the Model Select knob. To the
right of that are Knobs 1 and 2. Knobs 3, 4 and 5 are in the second row, left to right. So
when we mention adjusting an effect’s first parameter with Knob 1, we’re referring to the
knob to the right of the Model Select knob, labeled 1 in the illustration.
Firmware Updates
As of October, 2009, Line 6 has released Flash Memory Update v2.0 for the M9, adding
numerous new FX Models and features.
If you’re not running v2.0 firmware or greater, be sure to visit www.Line6.com for the latest
info, and see Appendix B for instructions on how to upgrade your M9 using the Line 6
