The M13 offers you two different ways to select your Scenes, depending on the way you
like to work. Your choices are Momentary Scene mode or Latch Scene mode.
To clarify what we mean by a Scene, it’s basically the equivalent of a unique pedal board
setup, which you can program yourself. It includes up to 4 active FX and another 8 FX
set up but bypassed. When you select a particular Scene, a combination of 4 active FX is
immediately loaded into your M13. The other 8 FX will also be loaded, but bypassed. You
can switch any of the 8 FX on at any time, replacing any of the 4 you started with.
If you use an expression pedal in your rig, you should know that all of your heel & toe pedal
assignments can be stored in a Scene, so many unique combinations are possible. Here are
some details explaining Momentary Scene mode and Latch Scene mode.
Momentary Scene Mode
• In Momentary Scene mode, when you step on the Scenes switch, the 4 LCDs will
display the 12 Scene names in your M13.
• You select a Scene by stepping on any of the 12 A, B, C switches that correspond with
the Scene names in the LCD. The Scene you choose will be loaded immediately.
• To select a different folder of 12 Scenes, turn the FX1 Model Select encoder then
press one of the FX switches to select the desired Scene. *Note: if you don’t press
the FX switch, the display will time out, reverting to the current Scene folder
• You will now see the 4 active FX displayed in the 4 FX Unit LCDs. You can tweak
the parameters of each, if you like, or you can activate any of the bypassed FX.
• Any changes you make to the Scene will be saved, like a real pedal board. (see page
4•2 for details on Autosave vs. Manual Save)
• To select a new Scene, you must step on the Scenes switch again, and you’ll see the
12 Scene names you started with. Repeat the steps above for new selections.
Latch Scene Mode
In Latch Scene mode, the only difference is when you step on the Scenes switch, the 12
Scene names remain in the LCDs. Any Scene you select will be loaded the same way, but
you won’t see it’s FX displayed in the LCDs. The advantage to Latch Scene mode is, you’re
always only 1 switch away from selecting a new Scene. So you can have 12 completely
different setups ready to go, each only 1 switch away. The disadvantage is, you can’t tweak
or bypass any of the individual FX. You can only bypass the entire Scene.
