You could hit record and document your whole show.

See? That's a pretty creative use for it.

...but, just the one guitar part. I'm sure that'll be entertaining.

If you need a fill in for your gig some time, I bet that person would appreciate it. Or, just to critique your own playing. Or to let it play and try out different tones on your amp or modeler.

Re-amping. Interesting usage. Need to look into the record/playback quality of it.

Pic in the wild next to the og. I thought it was smaller.

I think they needed to keep the 4 switches the same distance apart, so it doesn't mess up the ergonomics. They did eliminate the battery compartment, so it should be lighter, too.

That makes sense. Yes, having those switches too close would be a bad idea.

So........did anybody get one of these yet?

 

[Mincer]

I really thought about it, then decided against it for now. I have an HX Effects, which has almost all of the new DL4 contained within it, as well as an M9, which has the original DL4, and an actual original DL4. So, right now, too much overlap.

 

[Mincer]

I ordered the old one because I wanted the original that started it all. How can I fully appreciate the new one if I don’t know what life was like for millions of guitarists before it became available?

The original DL4 is indeed a classic. It deserves all the praise it gets.

Mincer and NegativeEase where do you get your replacement switches for the original?

Originally I got them direct from the Line 6 parts dealer -who also sell Korg parts and a few other lines -let me dig up the contact for you.

Hmm, my switch mod was over 10 years ago. I replaced the stock actuators (and the tiny PC mounted switches) with real soft-touch switches. Now you see other companies offering a 'switch mod' for old DL4s.

Why buy the old version when the new version has all of the old version goodies and more?

Give it time, he will have the new also and not play through it

Now, now, let’s not get too caught up in what may or may not happen in the future. And I have totally been playing through stuff lately.

How many unopened or opened but yet unused Pedal purchases you sitting on?

That’s a question we may never get the answer for…

None of us can count that high but we could all throw in our fingers and toes virtually to help out.

 

[Bogner]

The new one lacks the vintage looks and mojo of the original.

Agree on the look aspect but have to disagree on the mojo because the original pedal resides within the newbie...but I get what you are saying.

Side note, have you purchased the new colors of the Strymon's?

I knew this question would be the scourge of our lives!!!!
