    In some gigs it’s just too much of a hassle to bring your AMP and all of your pedals, so i,m thinking about connecting a line 6 M9 pedal that i own to the 44W Guitar Power Amplifier or the 22W and send it directly to the console through a direct box, can anybody share some thoughts on this???? thxs!

    need a special DI box for that; there’re very few that take the cab signal and pass it. Otherwise you risk damaging your 44 or 22 and the house mixer [which they, in my experience, hold the band liable for damage to]. You can’t make an additional ‘output amp’ patch on your M9 and put the DI with that? Otherwise there are amp modeling DI’s [the DOD 285] or any ‘fake amp sound’ pedal [Hot Tubes, those Boss/Fender abominations, Sansamps, etc] + a DI will get you in the ballpark [and a good eq or two will get you the rest of the way].

    I do the modeling DI thing myself. Amps are heavy and expensive and I’d rather spend the money on more effects tbh.

    As Cryabetes said, nope, you can’t do that. You’d need a load simulator with a direct out.

    You’re missing out. They’re heavy and expensive, but I love my Fenders to death. I feel the amplifier is the most important piece of gear.

    I run a lot of gear into a looper – my setup has guitars/basses/synths. One amp with one set of EQs kind of ruins it.
