[mbwc14]

Hello Everyone ! I recently bought a nord lead 2x and I am looking for an expression pedal , Which one would you guys recommend me? I really like the Line 6 M9 Stompbox, What do you guys think about that pedal?

thanks !

Hi mbwc14,

The manual specifies: "you should use a stereo cable (TRS). Please note that the pedal must have a stereo output jack. The resistance range of the Control Pedal should be 10kOhm to 50kOhm."

Make sure that your Line 6 pedal's specs will fill this bill before spending money on it.

Roland EV5 for gigging, Yamaha FC7 or Moog EP2/3 for home or studio.

thank you guys for your reply, I have another question, Can I use the the Line 6 M9 like a normal Pedal effects?? Because I have the Ibanez TS 9 hooked up to The nord x2 and I want To know If I can do the same whit the Line 6 M9.

thanks !!!

Just to clarify... the Line 6 M9 is not an expression pedal, but a multi effects unit. Sure you can use that, with your synth but maybe there are way cheaper things than that.
The Zoom MS70CDR or the MS100BT look good and very compact, but I have not heard any comments about how good/bad they are.

Thanks a lot for your reply Mr_-G- , I will check it out the MS70CDR and the MS100BT.

hello everyone I bought for the nord x2 the line 6 M9 multi effects unit and the Ibanez Tube Screamer TS9, but I want to know how can I plug the TS9 and the Line 6 at the same time? could you guys help me?

[mbwc14]

You would need to chain them together in line like this:

Nord Lead 2x Output ---> [TS9 Input........TS9 Output] ---> [Line 6 Input........Line 6 Output] ---> amplification/mixer/interface/whatever

Or:

Nord Lead 2x Output --->[Line 6 Input........Line 6 Output] ---> [TS9 Input........TS9 Output] ---> amplification/mixer/interface/whatever


The first way is the probably best way for normal use.


On the Line 6 use the Input and Output sockets marked L(MONO)

Thanks a lot RedLeo for yor help ! I have just one more question, I noticed something strange when I turn on the nord 2x ,When I turn on the 2x the display screen says NL2 not NL2x that's normal? or maybe the music store where I bought it they blackmail me.

[mbwc14]

My NL2X also says "nl2" at power up! It's normal, and OK. Hard to show an "X" on that type of display ...
