I have'nt had a button wear out yet, maybe it needs a spray. But i understand the confussion about programming. i did the same thing, the "why can everyone else work this thing out but i can't" vibe. and the manual did'n help me much. What i found was to pick the delay you want, turn the dial to where you want the thing go, it should move. then do the hold the 3 sec hold function. i think that's how it's done. ? i only have a 3 that i programmed that i use. cam ----- Original Message ----- From: <AaroneousAG@aol.com> To: <loopers-delight@loopers-delight.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2001 10:06 AM Subject: dl-4 left button malfunction > L00p3rz, > > After reading someone's post about Line-6's undiplomatic response to inquiries by a member of our special community, I think it's time to re-evaluate my praise of their monsterous green machine. Specifically because, a little over a year after my purchase, the far left button (the one used for initial record and overdub functions) has become intermittently unusable. > > Sometimes, it won't begin recording. Other times, it won't end recording and go into overdub, just continue recording as if I hadn't pressed it. Still other times, it will do this strange thing where it becomes a short delay without infinite repeat, where both led's for record and overdub are indicated, but the loop does not keep getting louder, only delays infinitely until a new note is played, at which point that note, completely by itself (without overdubbing over previous sounds) will delay infinitely. > > I have enjoyed this pedal for a while. As a result of it, I am now dependent on having a delay that utilizes tap tempo. Preferably one that also takes batteries. But, after recently aquiring the Boss loop station, I have realized how constricting the 28 second loop time really is when you're dealing with a device that only handles single loops. > > The programming function made absolutely no sense to me ever. There was never any problem with the middle two presets. I just could never get the programmed parameters of the left location (even before it went kapputt) to come back to me when I switched delay models, even after setting both high and low. That's when I learned that there you can only preset the parameters once, and those parameters would apply to all the delay models when you switched, so if you set the knob that made "bass" high on one model, that might mean that "tape flutter" would be set high when you switched presets. Somehow, this explanation didn't make sense either. > > So, I wonder if anyone has any recommendations. 1. Can the switch >be fixed? 2. What is the real programming deal with the unit 3. What delay PEDALS that sound even remotely alright offer realtime control of delay time with either a tap or sync (I know Big Briar has a pedal control on the Moog analog delay, but $600 is a tad steep) Battery option is mucho importante (I busk, camp, jam with drum circles, and generally like to play far away from things like electrical outlets) . . .
