Product Description

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.

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.

Guitarist Kevin Dukes demos just two of the many settings that come with the Line 6 DL4:


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.

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.

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.

"great delay, shame about the no of presets"
Sound: This thing sounds great and adds all kinds of effects if used creatively. Loop sampler is good but it would be nice to be able to select whether previous loops fade or not, you can't build forever. In addition to this you get saturation pretty soon with repeats all the way up. All the models are really useable tho. Only real drawback is that it can occasionally repeat the click of the switch when you go from one delay to another. Have also experienced clicks when using short delay times on the reverse setting as well so not 10 out of 10 Feature: only 3 user programs is a big pain in the ass, this could have been solved by the inclusion of a 'manual' switch so kicking it on would let you use the current knob positions so can be a bit of a pain for playing live. Adding the expression pedal is a great feature but the lack of midi connectibility is annoying too. Quality: Built like a tank and a decent power supply for a change. HAve used this unit live, for rehearsals and in the studio for the last 2 years and never had it fail on me. Value: Great sounding unit, has a few drawbacks as detailed above but don't really know of any comparable unit - expensive but imo worth it for the amount i use it (ie all the time). Manufacturer Support: never needed it The Wow Factor: Looks cool (like mission control or something) mines getting a bit scratched but good shape (plety of space between the switches) tweak and tweez as controls cute. Has become an essential part of my guitar set up, although it weighs a ton. Overall: Great at what it does, can't imagine a delay that would give you more features etc for the type of unit it is (stompbox). If it was lost/stolen (not much chance of it breaking!) I would go for another line 6 - might stick with an echo park tho as wysiwyg controls and more compact or an echo pro if i had the cash. Having said that i have used it for everything (synths and vocals as well as guitar) and the sounds are fantastic its all about the interface - the lack of more presets is the biggest drawback as far as i'm concerned so would recommend it - esp if not using many diff settings in a live context.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "YUSS!"
Sound: The DL-4 has one of the best tones that you can buy in a delay pedal. and it has so many options. the best part is that it compliments the other pedals on my board so beautifully... i play fender stuff now... a fender tele deluxe through a fender custom vibrolux... so creamy and tasty! with the dl-4 however, cant say enough about it. Feature: Whatever you want your guitar to sound like, you can make it happen with the DL-4... it has all the essentials- Tap Tempo, 3 Channels to save delays... just be sure to get the AC adapter because it eats batteries like a college kid at a buffet. it would be great if it had more banks to save in. but whatever. its greatness drowns that issue. Ease of Use: you cant buy this expecting it to be easy. watch every youtube tutorial and read everything about it because its difficult. im still only grazing the edge of the surface of what its capable of. Quality: ive heard a bunch of stories about how its unreliable and the buttons break. i just cant see it yet. Value: id pay double the cost for it because of how good it is. Manufacturer Support: line 6 was kind of a pain for my old amp. The Wow Factor: seeing it on so many musicians boards, its got serious sex appeal. when you play with the DL, you can skip wearing cololgne. thats how sexy you are. Overall: worth the cost and difficulty of use. SO worth it.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
