Line 6 M13 Classic Distortion, Heavy Distortion, Colordrive

Distortion Models

Classic Distortion

Based on the ProCo Rat from the late ’70s. The Rat was the beginning of a new generation

of distortion boxes, with a sound that was angrier and more aggressive than a conventional

fuzz tone.

Knob 3 functions like the original Rat’s Filter control, which gives you a brighter

•

tone at lower settings, and a darker tone at higher settings.

Heavy Distortion

Based on the Boss® MT-2 Metal Zone, which was introduced at the height of the big-hair

metal craze of the late ’80s/early ’90s. Heavy and scooped, the tones of this model beg to

be chunked upon.

Colordrive

Based on the Colorsound® Overdriver, which originated from London’s Macari’s Music

Exchange in 1965. With a high demand for Tone Benders at that time, brothers Larry and

Joe Macari started building their own unique pedals under the name Sola/Colorsound.

Knob 3 at 50% has no effect on the Mids; below 50% is a cut, above 50% a boost.
