Information
Line 6
The first great sounding professional guitar effects pedals designed to deliver a wide range of cutting edge and legendary effects tones in a programmable stomp box format.
- 3 programmable presets and on-board 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 (Heck, we even include a set) or optional power adapter.
The 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 you've got complete programmable control over all aspects of the sound in the studio and on the stage. Incredibly simple to use, it's an amazingly powerful tool offering you delay effects never before available in a single box.

Our Loop Sampler 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...

| 2018-04-20 | ziaziala | 7.5/10 | The loop/sampler is so easy to use and really lends itself to experimentation. I probably use it more than anything else I've owned. | I honestly don't use anything besides the loop/sampler. I don't use delay that much regardless though. | |
| 2015-06-13 | chambs89 | 10/10 | The very best Line 6 has to offer. Love it. | Cannot switch between delays and sampler without turning knob but it really isn't that big of an issue. | |
| 2015-06-11 | hengus | 7.5/10 | Good delays and looper quantizes well. Like the big knobs, make it useful to switch on the fly. Can have software and hardware issues though | ... | |
| 2015-02-24 | Zombie78 | 9/10 | An awesome delay that can cover a lot of needs in one pedal. | I wish the loop time was longer and that the looper had its own dedicated footswitch. | |
