The M9 switches definitely sound louder to
me, like the mechanical noise is bouncing around more in that larger case. The lights in the DMC seem to be spot on
and reliably correct. They’re also VERY bright. I forgot to mention that holding down the
upper right (REV) button allows you to switch on the fly between Pre and Post
for the looper/FX relationship without any menu diving. Hope this helps, hoby From: Luis Angulo
[mailto:louie.angulo@yahoo.com] awesome Hoby
thanx! question,are
the switches as loud as the m9s or quieter? ive also
noticed the M9 LEDs not always matching the current looper function when i
tested it with my fcb1010 but will the
lights on the DMC always match and be reliable? cheers Luis http://www.myspace.com/luisangulocom From: Hoby Ebert
<hoby@moondogeast.org> I think this
is related enough to be on-topic for this thread. I don’t believe
I’ve seen anyone mention these: Matt builds
midi controllers in various sizes/configurations. I took delivery last week on
a DMC-6 configured to control the looper on my M9 and so far I am very pleased.
The layout directly mimcs the button configuration on the M9. Other than the M9
LEDs not always matching the current looper function (according to Matt this is
a known bug with the M9 when using He’s
got various firmware versions. You can get one set up to also change scenes. hoby From: Luis Angulo
[mailto:louie.angulo@yahoo.com] thanx for the
info and link Bill! Yes please
let me know,that way i can make a decision wether i should take it to the
states this summer and have it done but i think
ill take it anyway because of those loud switches;-) Yes i had my
DL4 also moded and didnt regret doing the mod i did notice the difference,i
asked the guy from R3FX if he also did audio mods and he said that is not
neccesary and is all exagerated and a marketing thing cause no one notices the
difference So i hope
this guy does it just as good as the ones that did the mod on my DL4 the one thing
i hope somebody would do is a jack to have a switch to change from efx mode to
looper mode,or at least a a single compact button midi switch that would send

<billwalker@baymoon.com> Hey Louis,
The issue with the M series stuff as compared to say Eventide or TC products is
transparency of sound. When i run through my timefactor or flashback I
perceive a clearer less colored sound and no drop in volume. With my M series
stuff there is a slight drop in volume, a touch more noise and coloration in
the high frequencies. Its not a huge thing and most people don't notice
particularly if they keep at least one effect on at a time. I have considered
selling my M-9, but I also realized that in order to achieve some of the
complex synched 3 delays in a row that i'm found of using I would
need three Eventide Timelines or Strymon Time Factors. When I started to add
that up, I thought twice and I'm willing to risk the money it takes for the
audio upgrade to find out, and I definitely will get the switches
changed. I never regretted having my long gone DL-4 modded for audio upgrade by
Keeley, i imagine the person who owns it now is glad too. I had a second one at
the time and in a side by side comparison I
definitely heard the difference in noise floor and volume drop.
There are a number of people doing DL-4 mods these days for both audio and
switches most notably Vertex, http://www.vertexeffects.com/ who has built
boards and customized DL-4's and other effects for guys like Robben Ford
, Nels Kline, Henry Kaiser,and Michael Landau. The guy I
just found JHV3 http://jhv3.squarespace.com/m9-mods/ is
the only I have found so far that has tackled the same issues on the M-series,
there is a pretty detailed description on his web site about what he does. The
fact is, there are a lot of cottage industry guys tweaking and modding all
kinds of effects, amps and guitars, to make production factory made gear
sound better and/or more like original issue stuff. I'll let you know how
it compares. bill |
