RE: Need DL4 Help

[William Lindsay <rabbit5@azstarnet.com>]

Hi,
I've been using this feature all of the time and never had this problem. 
I leave my input line plugged in and power down the DL-4 externally via 
a power-strip. 

I can only guess from previous experience with other micro units but...
1. Are you using a 9V. power supply? It may run off of a different supply, 
but 
        not without troubles. I wouldn't trust the accessory walwart for 
too long.
2. What other repairs did you have done? Could this be related to a loose 
wire/bent 
        contact in the input jack? The jiggling of multiple reboots could 
jiggle things enough
        to make contact. 
3. Has this problem always been this way?

I plan on tearing into this unit in the near future to see if it can be 
modified.
 I'd be pretty happy to switch in some sram (save loops? ) or expand the 
ram 
(longer loops? ). I've had some luck with ram switching on other micro 
projects. 
I'll post it up to the list if I come accross anything good. 
(Warranty-wha?)
Please keep us posted with your troubleshooting, or hit me off list.

Goodluck,
William (Tucson, Az)

   :Any DL4 owners had a problem with the bypass feature of the unit?  The
   :trick where you can put it into bypass so the delay decays naturally
   :when you switch the effect off sounds great when it works but I've had
   :some problems when I put the pedal in this mode.  The problem is
   :basically that after I'm done playing, the next time I plug in, none of
   :the delays work at all.  I have to reboot the unit twice to get the
   :bypass (and delays back).  I had thought that this was the result of 
the
   :initial firmware of the pedal and that the problem would be fixed with
   :the upgrade, but after having just sent my pedal in for repairs
   :(including an update), I still have the same problem.
   :
   :Anyone else notice this problem and was I wrong in believing the
   :firmware had ANYTHING to do with the problem?  Its not life threatening
   :or anything, but it is an annoyance and one I'd like fixed if there is
   :an easy fix.

   :If any of you DL4 users know anything about this problem. please drop 
me
   :a line (before I contact Line 6).
