Welcome to the M13 Stompbox Modeler Advanced Guide. This guide contains in-depth

details of your M13’s features and functionality. With over 80 Models and a Looper in

one device, there’s a lot to work with. Our goal with this guide is to provide you with the

information you need to make it easy to ﬁnd the sounds you’re looking for.

In the chapters that follow, we’ll be referring to the six Knobs that adjust the various

parameters of the M13. These are located below each of the four LCD displays. On the

top row left is the Model Select Knob. To the right of that are Knobs 1 and 2. Knobs 3, 4

and 5 are in the second row, left to right. Now to begin, let’s get in tune.

Tuner

To enter Tuner mode, press and hold the Tap switch for a few seconds. LCD 3 will display

the Tuner. LCD 4 will display the note you’re tuning. If you’d like to tune to a reference

other than standard 440, turn Knob 3 to select from 425 to 455. To toggle between Mute

Audio (your guitar will be silent) and Bypass Audio (you’ll hear your guitar dry with no

FX), turn Knob 5.

Tuning is straightforward: when the graphic diamond is to the left of center, your note is

ﬂat; when it’s to the right, you’re sharp. When the diamond is precisely in the center, two

triangles will appear above and below it, indicating your string is in tune. To exit Tuner

mode, press Tap again, or any other foot switch.

Setup Mode

To enter Setup mode, press and hold the Looper Controls switch for a few seconds. The

M13’s four LCDs will display your settings, including Expression Pedals in LCD 1, Looper

Levels & EQ in LCD 2, Preferences, Scenes & FX Loop in LCD 3, and MIDI, Gate &

Displays in LCD 4.

Depending on the way you like to work, most of your Global settings can be left as is after

you’ve set them initially. They’ll be recalled each time you power-up. In the following

pages we’ll describe them all in detail.
