G3 of everything I've tried, but it's still not on my board.
I really want to like Multi-FX's, because I genuinely think some of them sound better than individual pedals. But individual pedals are easier to use, more hands on, less finnicky, and if you get tired, you don't have to trash the entire unit... just that one pedal you've suddenly started to hate.
The Line 6 M13 is a brilliant bit of kit. But it's really showing its age. The midi functionality is shite, and doesn't instantly transmit the data, which creates latency in your rig. The algorithms are a bit too simple and don't stand up to more modern sounds, and the whole thing just feels a bit aged. It's bypass tone is also a bit crap... built to a price basically. If it weren't for that, I'd use one!
The Boss GT-100 is probably the best multi-FX I've used. But even then, it's quite limiting. Ultimately... I'm back to individual pedals.
I love using stomp boxes for the sounds and ease of swapping and experimenting with new toys but I can't cope with all the tap dancing on stage so I'm all for anything that cuts that down - there seem to be a lot more gigrig type loop controllers available these days so if I was putting a board together now I'd go that way.

TC dropped the ball this year. I don't care about the ditto looper.
You open it up - taking great care not to break any screws or what not - desolder the switch from the upper PCB. Flip it around. Solder wires from the switch to the back of the button on the PCB. There are only two points of contact to solder and as I recall, the polarity doesn't matter.
It'll work with any of the switches actually. You're essentially wiring the footswitch in paralell.

If TC bring out a new Nova with 4CM and some updated bits and bobs I think it would dominate the multi FX market. The current one is outrageously good considering you can pick them up for the price of a decent overdrive and delay pedal.
Best of both worlds. My first two banks are setup with the basic drive and clean settings. I've programmed each path with a generic fx setup, e.g simple chorus a delay and some reverb. These however are switched off so I can stomp on the button to bring them online, much like a pedal board, tweaking is fairly easy.
Then further up the banks I have song specific patches.
