DryThru Models
Another popular request from DL4 users was to provide a completely dry signal path when
using specific Delay models with a dry Mix setting, so that no tone coloration was added.
When we originally created our Tape Echo, Tube Echo, Sweep Echo and Echo Platter
models, for example, we also modeled the dry path of the classic delays these models were
based on. We did this because the original effects added a certain tonal character to the
sound when Mix was set to dry, and many guitarists wanted that sound.
To make everybody happy, we decided to add what we call DryThru models. These four
models are identical to the original models of the same name, but when Mix is at 0%, we
removed the tonal coloration of the originals, giving you a flat, uncolored sound.

All FX in the M13 are programmed with Model Default settings. These provide you with
a good musical experience when you first load up each effect, giving you great “stock”
settings for that model. Some are also pre-configured for expression pedal control, so
if you have an expression pedal plugged in and assigned to an FX Unit and you select a
new model, we start you off with what we think is a good expression pedal setup for it.
(See the next page for more info on setting heel and toe values for expression pedals).
Mix
As with all other model details, the Mix control is set up to work like it did on the DL4,
MM4 or other Line 6 product that first introduced a particular model. In keeping with this,
you may notice that setting Mix to 100% sometimes engages a special setting found on the
original effect, like vibrato in the U-Vibe, or a richer Leslie® sound in Rotary Drm/Hrn.
