Why not find a bass player?

I feel you though. Until we find a guitarist, I'm gonna be singing and doing 2 guitar parts also, so using the M9's looper alot. And I'm not looking forward to it.

+1, I've got no intention of doing things the easy/boring/convential way if I can help it. Me and Mr Drums are bonded musically* in a way that I don't think anyone else could easily be a part of.

*this doesn't mean 'willies up bums in while listening to Broadway OST'

Oh man, good luck but I don't recommend it: I've tried to do the same thing with my M9 and unless you're running the M9 to its own amp or the drummer has got an AMAZINGLY good ear, kiss goodbye to playing in time.

this band from edinburgh use a looper loads, they take an out from the pedal into a set of earphones the drummer wears.

Annoying the M9 doesn't have a separate output for the looper, so Johnny Sticks would be monitoring both live and looped guitar, which may prove a little too messy.

Given the dual outputs, it's a bit annoying Line 6 didn't include a "pan looper" option to make this useful in a live situation.

Mmm. Well, he'll be on a click track (good ideas, needs to tighten up his execution though). I did want to have a stereo set up to stop things being messy, but, like you said, the M9 can't do that. Guess I should really just get on the "Guitarist needed" posters...

Certainly something these folks make can be bent to your will?

How about this?

Since he's the maker I bet he can make it do whatever you need.

Oooooh, good find, mate; nice one! I actually found this website during my searches, but didn't see anything like this..

that looks like it could lead to some heavy fun.

Figured out I could control 2 amps (well, amp 1 / amp 1&2) with what they're offering here by doing the following:



I may well need to add an isolator transformer on the second output to address any ground loop probs, but this is already £120 cheaper than the Carl Martin (which would need the same fix anyways) so I'm on a rolllllllll, just ordered it.

A 12 month guarantee and 7-day return policy means I can certainly check it does everything PROPER first.. I've never been so EXCITED to receive something so boring and functional!

Glad to have helped. Think that excitement might boil over into a video demo Doog? I'm thinking about building something similar incorporating momentary footswitches.

Will totally do an demo, never you worry!

I asked the builder Simon for a gutshot. Seems a nice, helpful guy. Really like how this is done, which a bunch of relays from true bypass and a microcontroller. Looking inside, it really is good value for money:

Excellent, looks like some fine work. Mine's being delivered to my rents' place, so I won't be able to get my grubby mits on it 'til Thursday at the earliest.

I WANNA SWITCH SOME STUFFFFFFFF

Definitely good value for money - think that's the board from the Cyberdyne Systems T101.

That could mess with your 7-day return?

I don't think it'll arrive until like Wednesday at least to be honest, I only ordered it Monday.

I'm 99.9% certain it'll do exactly what I want (did lots of testing passively splitting the buffered signal to 2 amps ), so I don't see it being a necessity

Hefty product. Impressive.
