And in some cases you can get the M13 on ebay for the same price as the M9 new.
Patience is a virtue.
The Goal is Soul - and good tone.

Maybe look at the Boss ME-50 as well or even the new M9 (it's practically identical to the M13 except $100 less). It would definitely be worth the extra dough though

And I recommend you buy from eBay you'll save HEAPS, my M13 would have cost around $1200 here if I bought retail, I ended up paying $600 for it all up inc. delivery and with a replacement power supply (and it's brand new too, not used)
Actually at the time I actually thought the M13 was affordable, amateurish gear lol, if I had known it was at the serious end of the spectrum I would probably have saved the money and gone for a Zoom or Boss ME or something being a complete noob and all.
But the ME-20 is apparently quite good for a basic Multi FX unit, my friend has one and likes it and sounds good (but he does mostly your standard rock tones, not anything exotic like the Edge does)

Also Harry what strings do you use on your Explore, mine's probably going to have to be restrung tommorow and I dunno what type of strings it originally came with and what to replace them with.
and Lyndon, re. my strings, I use RotoSound blues for everything, inc. my acoustic although when I next restring it I'm going to plump for something more traditional. I want to get all my guitars serviced in time, but it's a case of affording such servicing that's the issue.
