Manufacturer's Description for Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler Pedal

The Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler offers you an incredible array of sounds, from a tube driven, tape loop echo (complete with adjustable wow and flutter), through 24-bit squeaky clean digital echo, to real-time reverse delay. Not only that, but the Line 6 DL4 gives you complete programmable control over all aspects of the sound in the studio and on the stage. Incredibly simple to use, the Line 6 DL4 is an amazingly powerful tool offering you delay effects never before available in a single box.

The Line 6 DL4 and Flexible Digital Modeling

The Line 6 DL4 offers digital modeling based on 15 of those vintage delay and echo effects you've always yearned for. The DL4 includes EP-1 Tube Echoplex, EP-3 solidstate Echoplex, Space Echo, Deluxe Memory Man, Reverse delay, Rhythmic delay, Dynamic delay, and many more.

The Loop Sampler on the Line 6 DL4 includes 14 seconds of memory + 800ms of Pre-delay (sort of a delay within a delay), and features half speed and/or reverse overdubbing, and more.

The Line 6 DL4 is Flexible and Rugged

The Line 6 DL4 packs models of those sounds and many more into a rugged, road-tested steel housing that can run for up to 30 hours on four "C" batteries or with the optional PX-2G power adaptor. Models of classic delay boxes—and the sweet choruses and vibratos that accompany many of them—are just the beginning; the Line 6 DL4 also boasts innovative sounds like its "Auto-Volume Echo," which combines a volume swell with a tweakable tape-style echo; or the outstanding "Reverse Delay," which allows you to play stunning backwards guitar solos on the fly.

With the Line 6 DL4, you also get those U2-style "Rhythmic Delays" in several metric flavors, super-cool "Ping-Pong Delay" effects, and outrageous stereo panned repeats. Look, if it ain’t in the DL4, it probably doesn’t exist...until you create it. What's more, with its onboard 14-second looper, the Line 6 DL4 is both the perfect practice tool and the ultimate creative canvas for crafting overdubs and creating textures, with its 1/2 speed and reverse modes ideal for sonic adventurers and arrangement-minded recordists alike.

The Line 6 DL4: Easy to Use

Like all Line 6 stompbox modelers, the DL4 boasts a simple and sturdy front panel design, with four footswitches for saving and recalling your sounds, and six knobs for selecting models and tweaking parameters, with distinct assignments for each knob depending on the delay model you’ve chosen. Paired with the optional EX-1 expression pedal, which lets you morph between two radically different settings for each of your sounds, the Line 6 DL4 is truly the ultimate delay pedal, making the history of echo and delay available to your creative future.

Line 6 DL4 Features:

- 3 programmable presets and onboard Tap Tempo.
- True Bypass switching, so your direct tone is exactly that; direct from your guitar to your amp.
- Expression Pedal Input - for real-time control of all effect settings.
- DL4 runs in discrete stereo, both inputs and outputs, so Left stays left and Right stays right. (Loop Sampler sums signal to mono.)
- Runs from batteries (a set is included) or optional power adapter. 

When you have a DL4, the idea of having a delay pedal that does one kind of effect seems just silly. If you want to use delay, you want this pedal. It has the standard digital and (modeled) analog delays, but also has unique delays like reverse, ping-pong, delayed swell, rotary horn, etc, plus the loop sampler, which is its most famous feature. Now let me say this . . . if you are after a loop station first and foremost, don't get this--look into one of Boss's stations; but the fact that a loop sampler is included among a long list of other great functions is a great selling point. I play through an multi-effects unit that includes most of the delay options in this pedal, but I use this primarily since its usability is so great.

The Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler, which debuted in 1999, has been a mainstay in my effects lineup since I bought it, which was in 2003. This pedal sounds beautiful.

I'm not going to get too much into what this pedal can do other than say it will satisfy all of your delay needs. All of the 16 delay settings sound super clean and they should since it's pure 24-bit.

Despite high praise of this product, it still retails for the same price: which is $249. I think this price is way too high considering it has been out for almost 10 years. I bought mine for $235.

What is also great about the DL4 is it can be used as a means to setup a two amplifier/stereo setting, which is one of the best things you can do for your sound I think.

When my pedal dies or if it ever does (my fingers are crossed right now), I'm going to be replacing it, because I can't live without it. I have been playing the guitar for 18 years, so I have many years of experience with effects pedals.

I knew this pedal was the one for me when I walked into a Guitar Center with hopes to try it out and see how I liked it. The salesman hooked me up and showed me a few things about it, which I still can't remember, and he finally talked about the looping function and this was my initial introduction to looping. I played a short melodic chord progression and then I overdubbed and stacked more chords on top of this progression and BAM! There it was, the sound I was looking for my entire life!

This experience has been a revelation to me and has sent me on many sonic adventures. If you do not own it, go down to your local guitar store and try it out and experience the sounds that have made the DL4 a classic.
