Title: RE: External Footswitch for Line 6 dl-4??

>>I recall seeing somewhere some instructions on how to build and wire
up an external footswitch for the DL-4 (or any line 6 stompbox I guess). 
The idea was to have the four control switches on the floor for your feet<<

that ought to be easy enough, if you can solder and do a bit of metalwork. I'd guess that the four existing switches are all closures-to-ground, but even if they're not, the worst case is that you'll need an 8-way socket mounting on the dl4 somewhere. a midi-type socket, though perhaps with a different pin orientation, would be ideal. then just wire the remote switches in parallel with the ones inside the dl4, via the socket, a suitable plug and whatever you're putting on the floor by way of a remote.

(incidentally, I am still aiming to introduce midi-clock-derived pulses into my dl4 as a midi version of tap-tempo.)

but why not just use an expression pedal?
