Why You Should Consider The Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler |
Guitar effects pedals are legendary in that they have given hundreds of musicians their recognizable sounds. Jimi Hendrix had his Dunlop Crybaby, Jack White and Tom Morello have their Digitech Whammy Pedals. There’s a pedal for almost every sound possible from flanger to volume control and chorus to acoustic modelers. Whatever you’re after, there’s sure to be a pedal for it. The famed pedal company of Line 6 have a brilliant line of pedals called the Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler pedals. Here’s some information about them.
DL4 Delay Modeler
This stompbox provides all the features you’d expect of a professional delay modeler. It features delay models from delay boxes like the legendary EP-1 Echoplex and many others, so customizing your particular sound is a possible job, though not easy if you’re picky; there’s simply so many options and opportunities to get the elusive “perfect” sound. Furthermore, the stompbox need not be limited to guitarists alone; it can be used by bassists, singers, keyboardists and even drummers.
It provides the much-needed 24-bit true stereo signal path, which is integral for maintaining sound quality through the cables. Furthermore, there’s no need to suffer those large stacks anymore, as this pedal contains all the models in a small stompbox for easy packing and travelling. Additionally, it can run on four C batteries or the PX-2G power adapter, providing even more portability for those equipment-heavy trips.
The DL4 not only contains the legendary delays on classic equipment, but also the choruses and vibratos that come with them as well as some newer tech, such as the Auto-Volume Echo. A key feature is also the Reverse Delay, which allows backwards guitar solos in real time.
The DL4 has four footswitches, allowing for simple, yet sturdy use. The six knobs provide customization of the sound and make it easy to switch between delay models. Furthermore, it can be used with the EX-1 expression pedal to allow real time customization at ease.
