What I have found is that if you tend to use both the expression pedal and tap tempo on the fly, you can minimize the pitch bend effect by tapping as close as can be approximated, the same tempo in both the heal up and heal down postition on the expression pedal. It won't completely loose the pitch bending effect but it will take most of it away . The problem is, any time you tap tempo, you are in essence, editing your program. I actually really dig that artifact, particularly for the sweep echo. I like to set the echo longer in the the heal down position, and shorter in the toe forward position. I find the effect of the regeneration running away as the delay is speeding up very thrilling. Try quarter notes for the heal down position and triplet eighth notes for the toe forward position. My dream DL4 would have about 60-80 seconds of delay time and midi sync for the looper. Also, I highly recommend one of those Ebtech line level shifters if you want to use your DL4 into a line level effects loop without distorting the input of the DL4. You would need two of these if you wanted to run stereo, or get the eight channel rack version. These are now distibuted by Morley. I just use one and run my DL4 in mono on whatever channel insert point I choose. These little problem solvers also work great on rack gear with weak headroom such as a jamman, and they work in reverse if you chose to run a rack mount effect operating at +4db in line with instrument level effects like most pedals (typically -10 db to -20). As some of you have experienced running a line level effect before a guitar amp can make things downright hissy and brittle sounding.(See repeater). Good luck Bill
