I noticed that @CubistEffects had an interesting Tweet this morning, letting people know about a YouTube video he has featuring a modded Line 6 Filter Modeler (FM4). I was curious and had to watch. First off, Christian is the owner of Cubist Effects out of  Sydney, Australia and he does some great work on repairing and modding pedals. You can learn more at his site (http://www.cubisteffects.com).

I’m hoping that Christian sees this post and can add some more information.. like what happens if you plug a guitar in to this? I know there are plenty of gear heads that are looking for noise generation, and this pedal with the mods seems pretty great for this.

UPDATE:
Christian just created a post on his site regarding this mod. You can read more about it here:

I wasn’t too familiar with the Line 6 MF4 so I wanted to take a look at this and see what it’s all about.

Here is the official product description:

The Line 6 FM4 Filter Modeler Pedal gives you 16 new and vintage effects including Mu-Tron III, Moog, Arp, Korg, and Roland synths; Oberheim VCF; formant filter; and more. 4 memories. Bonehead simple to use. Tough as nails. Has true bypass.

I found a good video by gearwire that demos this pedal’s features:

You can pick up the Line 6 Filter Modeler (FM4) at Musician’s Friend for $249.99. And you can have it modded at Cubist Effects!
