The remaking of a legend

The original DL4 was one of the first of its kind, a digital modeler of analog delays like the Echoplex, Space Echo, Deluxe Memory Man, and more—plus its own original delays and a 14-second looper. And, unlike a lot of digital units then and now, it felt like an analog unit, with a simple layout and instantly musical settings. The new DL4 includes all of these features and more, giving players everything there is to love about the original with increased power and versatility, all in much smaller size.

First Look: Dave Knudson From Minus the Bear

Minus the Bear's David Knudson is a master of the DL4, using multiple units to sample and re-sample his elaborate riffs. If he had to choose three of the most important pedals, he says, "I would probably say the DL4, and then the DL4, and then another DL4." So we asked him: What can you do with two of the DL4 MkIIs? Check it out in our video above.

Features, according to Line 6, include:

  • Identical knob and footswitch layout as the original DL4
  • 30 Delays: 15 new MkII plus 15 Legacy DL4
  • 2 Looper types—mono/stereo and pre/post signal path options
  • Up to 240 seconds of looping time, or several hours with optional microSD card
  • XLR dynamic microphone input for vocal processing and looping
  • MIDI In, Out/Thru DIN connectors—receives PC and CC messages
  • 128 Presets via MIDI, with footswitch control of up to six
  • Switchable true, buffered, or DSP bypass
  • Input for optional expression pedal or two additional footswitches
