Er, I'm not sure. I have not played around with the delay modeler side, 
or the programming that much (I need a second DL4 to do that)... my DL4 
is used purely for the looping, which apart from the expression pedal, 
does not allow any programming.

All that I know is that when you have found a delay sound that you 
like, you press down button 1,2 or 3 for about 2 seconds, and it will 
flash to say that your settings are saved. Button 4 (to the far right) 
is used purely for tap-tempo when in delay mode. You can save 3 delay 
modeler settings in the DL4's memory.

I agree with you :)

Ok, I wasn't clear in my last post (My brain is tired... as it is now 
:)... Make sure that you use a Line6 expression pedal. The jack 
connection on the cable that plugs into the DL4 is the same as a mono 
1/4" jack, whereas most expression pedals (such as the Roland EV-5 etc) 
  have what looks like a stereo 1/4" jack at the end.

I've tried using my EV-5 in the DL4, and have had some strange results.

If you are getting a small range, try reprogramming the pedal. Check in 
the manual (I cant find mine handy).... you have to set the maximum 
range, then move the foot pedal to maximum, then do the same for the 
minimum.... or was it the other way round?.... (like I said, double 
check in the manual)

Good luck!
