Boss DD-20/Line6 DL-4

[A Skater]

I need a delay pedal that can do looping and reversing. The thing is, I want each note to be reversed, so it'll sound more like the notes are swelling in. Tap delay is nice, and from the experience I've had, the tone one can get from a Boss is very nice, and the DL-4 is really easy to use. Assuming I get these both for the same price used, which one should I get?

I have both pedals..

the dd-20 won't loop reversed notes, unless you don't use the SOS mode- set a long delay time (+10 seconds) and feedback at 100%, and set it to 'reverse'.
The DL-4 is the more intuitive live looper, and you can reverse stuff on the fly (and take it down an octave too).
Honestly, I'd pick the DL-4 for the intuitive looping, the expression pedal control and the easy tap tempo.

Another vote for the DL-4, which is highly versatile in other ways you'll find useful down the road.

I have the DD-20, and while I like it for what it does, I think you'd be better off with the DL-4..
