General

The Line 6 DL4 MKII has arrived. After twenty years, Line 6 have given this legendary stompbox a worthy upgrade; retaining all the best bits from the original, while throwing in some fresh innovations. On the face of it, the MKII is a one-to-one emulation of the MKI, and by hitting a switch, you can even switch back to the MKI setup. But, since technology has moved on a bit since the dawn of the MKI, the DL4 MKII brings some welcome surprises.

The Line 6 DL4 MKII

The most obvious improvement is the overall sound quality of the effects. You're also getting more of them. In place of the classic set of sixteen delays and echoes, you're now getting thirty, and via MIDI, access is granted to 128 presets instead of the eighteen offered by the first model. The looper recording time has been given a boost from fourteen seconds to a massive two-hundred-and-forty, and when you slot in a micro-SD card, you can record for even longer. An XLR microphone input has been fitted for vocal looping as well as a tap-tempo switch, and while most of the feel of the original has been lovingly retained (in fact, MKI users won't notice any difference in the switching layout), the MKII is a touch lighter and more slimline - built to fit the pedalboard of the more modern guitarist and to present new fans with a smooth and accessible introduction to an undeniable legend.

Wrote the following about Line 6 DL4 MKII Delay Pedal with Looper

Veelzijdig ding, maar had beter kunnen zijn!
Als je een loop opneemt in de 1/2 speed stand krijg je een zip-geluid aan het begin van je loop. Soms wordt een preset niet goed bewaard (delay tijd random veranderd) en het pedaal geeft een klein beetje background noise, ook als het uit staat. Jammer! De sounds zijn wel echt fantastisch, nog even nadenken of ik 'm hou of de oude DL4 koop - maar weet deze dingen voordat je deze prijs betaalt!

Dit is het best klinkende delaypedaal dat ik tot nu toe heb gebruikt. Door het enorme aantal sounds en de soms wat tegenintuïtieve controls moest ik op het begin echt even wennen, maar na een uurtje begon ik de schoonheid te horen. De nieuwe analoge en tape-emulaties zijn echt fantastisch en de pitch en harmony delays klinken verrassend goed. De oude sounds zijn raar maar charmant en zeker ook bruikbaar. Ten slotte nog een te gekke looper en een aantal zeer bruikbare reverbs.
