Advantages: No better stomp box on the market
Disadvantages: erm..... i duno, its gold?

...orgasaming! The tonal qualiaty of line 6 effects is unbeatable! This particular effects pedal is (like a lot of line6 stomp boxes) like an amp in a floor pedal. But wait, not 1 amp 16! I say it is like an amp because you can have multiple presets. With this one you can have 4! Here are the specs of the pedal that the sales man and the book told me. • Digital modeling of 16 vintage override, distortion & fuzz effects Including: TS-808 Tube screamer, ...
...the Roland Jet Phaser Line 6 Drive- Expansion on the Ibanez TS-9 sound Line 6 Distortion- Expansion on the Pro Co Rat sound Sub-Octave Fuzz- Home grown Sub Octave w/Fuzz Octave Fuzz- Modeled from the Tycobrahe Octavia This is undoubtably the best distortion footswitch outhere at the moment (untill they bring out the new one whic has got 2 be better) I mean you can get classic hendrix fuz or slipknot death metal overdrive. (Slipknot guitarists both ... Read review

Advantages: Sounds great. Lets you do things otherwise impossible.
Disadvantages: Doesn't save loop when turned off.

I love my dl-4 it sounds great with guitar bass vocals drums, keyboards, or on the master mix. Whenever I play it's in use somewhere. It's construction is top notch. Anyone could jump on this thing full force, or probably drive over it, without a problem. The pedal buttons are great for precision. Pushing a pedal twice to get it to turn on sucks. Using this pedal is easy. You turn the first knob on the left to one of the modeled delay's and then ...
...tweek and tweeze do for each model individually) when you get the sound the way you like it you hold one of the first three buttons on the pedal down untill it blinks. Now that is where it is saved. The optional expression pedal makes this thing sound even better. It let's you save a second setting on any of the three buttons, and morph between the two sounds, basically allowing you to turn up to four knobs silumatenously with your foot! The loop ...

Advantages: Great range of different distortions. Professional sound.
Disadvantages: Can't get a good clean sound with any tone.

Some of the sounds you can get out of this box are great. It has some really unique distortions. I love the noise gate. It really gives your playing a professional edge, by not letting any sound from your pickups through, untill it reaches a preset level (The point you hit the strings hopefully) The compressor really helps too. It totally changes the flavor of the distortion. The speaker simulator is something I didn't think I would really use, ...
...like best. It really helps your sound get closer to what you hear in your head. The manual is great. Even if the author is going off on a tangent, you understand what they are saying, and how that relates to the unit, or why it was created the way it was. It's great to read a manual that wasn't translated from Japaneese. The unit is built rock solid. It has a metal casing, and a led display. I've dropped it on concreate multiple times, with no damage. ... Read review

Advantages: Great sounds. Makes mono signal stereo.
Disadvantages: I only have one.

This pedal sounds great. It works equally well on vocals, guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, or anything else you want to sound better. This unit really couldn't be easier to operate. There's nothing like spinning a knob till you get it right where you want it. Once you find a setting you like, you just push in and hold one of the four buttons untill the corresponding light blinks. Now your setting is saved. The optional expression pedal is great! After ...
...down position, just move it into the up position and get the knobs the way you want them. Now move the pedal back and forth morphing between the two settings and see if you like it. If so, hold the button down and save again. This works great on the tremolo settings. What I do is set the bottom pedal position to a clean sound, then when the pedal gets pushed down the tremolo intensity and rate gets increased. There are only four positions to save ... Read review
