>>>Speaking of a "DL4 in a rack", I just built a little remote foot controller for my DL4 so I can control the 4 stomp buttons and expression pedal on the floor while keeping the unit on my rack where I can manipulate the settings with my hands. Basically, it's a small box with 4 SPST momentary stomp switches, a 1/4 mono female jack (for the expression pedal), and an 8 lead CAT5 networking jack. Everything is wired simply to the CAT5 jack, then I run a standard cheap, network cable to the DL4 where there's another CAT5 jack in the battery compartment. Then it was just a matter of finding out which connections to solder together. All the stomp switches share a common ground, so you can easily use 5 wires for the 4 foot switchdes, 2 wires for the expression pedal, and have 1 wire left over.<<< Man, that would make my life so much easier!!! If I could have a DL4 (or two) up on a stand, with the pedals on the floor - I spend a lot of time bending over twiddling knobs to get sounds that just aren't available on the rack version, which I was SOOOOOO looking forward to, but just isn't up to the job - all the real time tweaking 'n' squeaking that I'm able to get from the DL4 can't be accessed on the pro version as all the encoders are notched, not continuous, and the loop isn't even MIDIable... a huge disappointment...
