>>It's lack of properly implemented MIDI sync made me give it up but if you operated it with manual tempo it did some cool stuff.<<
eh? mark, please elaborate.... you mean in it's looping mode? fair enough, I've never really used them as a looper.
but I have three of them which I use as regular delay boxes, & they're pretty good. the gain management, which should be invisible to the user once the in & out levels are adjusted, isn't. the thing needs tweaking as you go amongst the models. but they are every bit as good as the DL4, & midi-syncable, & of course there are loads of memories & more delay time.
I think the looping function is probably a waste of time, though. without a midi foot controller, you're screwed anyway, but even with one... you've got one huge loop & the same simple functionality as the DL4.
it does, however, support a number of different modes of "bypass". despite there being three choices, I can't find the one I like. (the position of the mix pot is memorised with a preset, but there's a way to make it global aswell). it will mute the input & leave a trail of echoes. it will mute everything. it will go into hard bypass.
it WON'T leave a trail of echoes & pass the dry input at the same time, like the DL4 does when you've stood on it while switching it on. so as a standalone box, it's missing something vital.
I've read a lot of stuff on review sites about how it sucks tone, hisses, hums, all sorts of stuff. apart from some hassles with the gain structure varying from one model to the next, I have no complaints. one of my three had a hardware failure right after I got it (from ebay), & line6-UK fixed it for £30, inc shipping, in less than a week.
duncan.
