Does anybody know if the switches on the Mk II have been improved so that they will last longer?

Re: Line 6 DL4 MkII
Thanks. I actually picked one up yesterday before I saw your post - I had a guitar center gift card that was burning a hole in my pocket. I’ll have to investigate this firmware issue.

Re: Line 6 DL4 MkII
Despite all the bad press I really like the DL4 MkII. Never had the first one to compare it to, so no preconceptions on how it should sound. I dig it.
