🎵 Goodbye M13

As you guys know, this M13 has been my favourite effects board for as far as I can remember, but it's time with me is up. It's time for it to seek a new owner.

Bought my Line 6 M13 two years ago from a friend at $300. I believe I'm the third person owning this particular modeler. Back then I didn't know a crap about electric guitar, much less say the effects that comes along essential. M13 was a hell lot of effects, I had to google every single type of effects to understand it. Two years worth, I had finally found some of my essential effects.

Finally, last week, after seeing some pedals going on "Christmas sale", I got the sudden urge to hand it over to the next owner. I tried my luck at listing $400 on carousell. As expected, no one came forward. But that's all going as planned. 3 days ago, I decided it's time to put my real plan into action. I dropped the price to $300 and declared it as a Christmas discount. It worked and a few came forward. Eventually, today, the deal was completed. $300, I got it all back, for 2 years worth of playing.

But now, I'm stuck with no effects so yeah, it's high time to start the search for my analog pedals. The M13 is a great board, but it isn't portable. At least a pedalboard is. I can choose which effects to bring along and which ones to put at home. I have planned what would be my pedal board for quite awhile now. Here is a rough idea of my future pedals, though things might change based on availability and stuff.

As of now, nothing has been confirmed yet. This planner website also have its limitations; multiple effects are missing, it just isn't as accurate. I believe it will take me quite some time to piece everything together. Money is one issue, availability is another. So I will be quite stuck without effects for a good period of time, meaning I won't do recordings as much. (Perhaps it's time to use the JamUp app on my iPad again hehe) Till then, I hope I can update my journey to gather those effects here for my own personal reference in the future. :)
