Members thom Posted December 23, 2013 Members Share Posted December 23, 2013 I've always had a love/hate thing with my dl-4. It's been a reliable work horse that does an okay job at every single delay tone I would ever need, and I'm still convinced that bang for the buck -whise it's damn hard to beat. Apart from a couple modes though, it doesn't really kick ass at anything.The analog delay sounds meh compared to the real analog delays I tried, the tape setting isn't nearly as conf as that of the strymon, and even for digital delay I prefer a boss RV-3. The looper is pretty unique, but I hardly ever use it for anything but randomn intro noises and stuff. Any other super versatile modeler out there that outperforms the DL-4?I'm kinda out of the loop, the only ones I could think of:-Vox Delaylab: f*cking HUGE. Seriously, I know this shouldn't be an issue at all, but that thing is about as big as my entire pedal board.-Empress Superdelay: Too pricey, even used. Haven't given up looking, but I don't have much hope.A premium version of the DL-4, without any silly digital menus or a rediculous boutique-ish price tag or whatever, would be awesome. Anything I'm overlooking? I *might* consider looking at pedals with fewer presets, or even just one preset...But than it'd have to sound downright spectacular, and for less money that what my dl-4 will fetch me.

Members HP Hovercraft Posted December 23, 2013 Members Share Posted December 23, 2013 I'm hoping Line 6 will release a new version now that they've been bought by Yamaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted December 23, 2013 Members Share Posted December 23, 2013 M9/Delaylab are your only choices. Anything else is a compromise when it comes to the looper. That being said, get the M9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, get the M9. If the looper is the only compromise, I'd be okay with getting a seperate looper. Or well, just not looping anything at all. But aren't the M9 algorithms very similar -if not identical- to those of the DL4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
