This, plus wanting a display-per-bank, was what swung me over to the M13.
That doesn't really bother me, it's not like you can look at 4 different places at once, and you're only gonna be tweaking one effect at a time anyway.

It looks like the Bognor shop sells them (at least from their online shop), so I may give one a spin at the end of the month, may even taken my Flip cam to get a sneaky vid.

I should have offered before, but it goes without saying - the standard 'you can borrow it for the weekend if you fancy' offer applies.

Bwa-ha-haaaaaah. I've got two busy little hands and a pair of expression pedals which all disagree with you.

You've only just got it. I wouldn't to borrow it yet. Perhaps sometime in the summer we can do a temporary trade for that WMD and whatever else you fancy a go on.

Did you read that blog about him finding a Steve Vai setting on the M12?

Wow, I've never wanted a MultiFX before...

I could see me with a mini KP, M9, the MiekBlaster and no other pedals. Think I might have to nab one of these...... But I would feel like such a traitor to everything I believe in.

Oh JEESZUS, you can set an expression pedal to control ANY parameter of an effect, and more than one parameter at a time. For more than one effect at a time. COOLASS.

If the distortion on this thing holds its own against my RAT, I'm definitely gonna grab one.

See, that's exactly why I bought one. And two expression pedals. Even better, there are cheap (ร‚ยฃ17) little Bespeco ones that do the job just lovely. And whisper it, but I quite like the fuzzes etc.

How do the fuzz emulations hold up to the versions of the real thing you've owned? The DM-4 seems to get pretty close, but it's hard to tell from a Youtube video using a cam mic:

I've barely skimmed the surface of the pedal at all, let alone had time for any Pepsi Challenge-style shenanigans.

This cove has though:
