I'll have to agree to this 100%.  The DL4 is a super fun box, but 
with serious limitations if you are doing anything involving sync. 
When i saw the ads for the Echo Pro, i was floored..."oh yeah, here 
it is!  All the fun of my little green 4-button box with sync, 
presets, and 60 seconds of looping!"

Thanks for saving me some cash, too.  although i must admit i spent 
some already on a MoFx off of ebay.

Line6 seems to be on a predictable track here...taking their 
technology they've already done the R+D on...and encasing it in a 
rack mounted box, adding a few bells and whistles, and calling it 
"Pro".

they're new amp looks mighty sweet though, if you want to cough up 
$2000 for the amp and footpedal.

As far as their customer service...I think that has left some of 
their customers wanting, as well.  My guess is that they've grown up 
so damn fast, they might be struggling to keep that personlized 
service.   I do know that emails now posted to support@line6.com used 
to be responded to by someone in tech support.  now you get an 
automatic response telling you to go to the FAQ section of their 
website.
