Had been putting together a "B" pedalboard with some left over scraps and was intending to use the Line 6 M5 for delay duties.
I remember distinctly rather liking the Anologue w/mod model and was quite prepared not to be blown away with the results of my new B board as long as it performed adiqutiley
I'm afraid to say that it didn't even do that. The analogue w/mod is still the pick of the bunch but pretty much all the other delay models sound like plastic.
The Tape Echo model is an exceptional let down now I've returned to it.
I still love the 63 Spring Reverb however and the M5 might manage to keep a place on the board for that alone
So am I missing something here or have my tastes just gotten more expensive? I think I can see an el Cap on my horizon...

i felt it as a fun pedal for modulation, but didn't get on much with the drive tones or delays. Is the firmware all up to date?
I do REALLY like that Reverb though and it's only marginally bigger than a Holy Grail.... besides if I start making space on my board I'll have to fill it with expensive goodies!
hmmm maybe an el Cap and a Gral Neo would hit the spot better
I did find I was only using 3 or 4 sounds though.
First impressions are pretty good. Sounded good as soon as I plugged it in. Spent time playing rather than time fiddling and feeling frustrated.
feels dialled in now. I have a flashback as a secondary delay too.
