Line 6 DL4 MkII

Post by JSett » Tue Mar 22, 2022 8:25 am

Well, this just dropped on my feed...

Sorry about the Rhet Skull content

Looks pretty good, and a long overdue refurb. Shittons of options and a load of secondary reverbs.

Looks pretty cool! Nice to see them back in it.

Old = Green Goblin
MKII = Baby Yoda!

The original was the first pedal I ever bought new and I really enjoyed it, but eventually switched it out for a RE-20... I'm not a gear cork sniffer (wine, tho!) but the old one did seem to be less "present" or "real" than having it out of the signal path, maybe the digital converters... Our drummer gave me his old DL4 (still with receipt). I played with it some, then put it away for a year. I took it out last fall and it was dead. :(

Neat to see that there's some MIDI implementation. Could be fun and useful. $419 worth of fun? Not sure.

I had an original years back and it was a lot of fun. I don't know that I'd get a Mk 2 as I'm less into multi-effects these days, but this is cool!!

Can't think of anyone better to demo it than Dave:

Yeah, that's way better that Rhet. Plus, he's using a Millimetric :-*

i feel him and nick from tera melos are the people who got the most out of the DL4. i had one and wasn't the biggest fan of it but i mainly just used it as a looper.

I’d moved on from the original (mainly due to size) and had thought about picking up another recently, this couldn’t have come at a better time!

Had a coupon for GC.com too so I managed to save a few bucks as well. Now to sit out in front of my mailbox for who knows how long…

Street price of $300 per TGP. Still a bit steep for me.

I'm not a MTB fan, but he did accurately showcase the abilities of the loop function (arguably one of the most used aspects of the pedal by many people) and the video was devoid of the usual YT guitarist tropes and word-vomit

I've used my original DL4 for, yes, 22 years.

This looks amazing.

Can anyone tell me how adjustable the dual delay is on the original and maybe this DL4?

Wanting something to create massive ambient walls of sound by turning the wet signal up and blending the delays similar to how I used to operate my time factor when I had it. I may just have to bite the bullet and get another one of those. Something about those eventides.
