While I agree taht the DL4 is the more versitle delay it does not have
the one simple feature theboss Dl5 does and that's a simple delay that
you can switch to be an infinte loops *FROM DELAY MODE*. This is an
importnat distinction because the DL4 has a looper and has tons of
delays and parameters byt n'er the two shall meet. The basic digitech
PDS series has this on a separate footswitch and the Boss stomps have a
setting to jump from delaying to looping but the DL4 is either a looper
(with some minor pre delay features) or a full blown delay without
infinite repeat.

I believe the original question was aksing about the two pedals in
question and this is the only real important distinction. If a potential
buyer reading this  does know what I'm tlaking about above then you'd
probably be more than happy with the DL4 over the Boss. If an delay->
infinite loop feature is absoutley necessary for you then youreally need
to try the two pedals out in persons (perhaps next to a digitech PDS1002
or something) and see for yourself which fits your needs.
