Line 6 DL4

There's not much to say about this pedal that hasn't been said before. I thoroughly enjoyed the looper--as so many have--and was not particularly impressed with any of the delays (as so many are not).

The looper convinced me that I love and need complex loopers with multiple switches and functions. The workflow on this pedal is so smart that it forced me to look into the Boomerang III, which represents a distinct upgrade from the DL4. Still, I miss how simple and software-free Line 6's pedal is, and that it belongs to a class of pedal that has now advanced several generations. That might seem like a bad thing, but the fact that the DL4 is still on a ton of boards is testament to its utility, and to the lack of substance behind the claims that it is poorly built.
