Personally, I find the DL4's footswitches somewhat hard to press
mechanically, this might lead to your experience with tapping tempo on the
DL4. Apart from that, no problems with timing accuracy, but then again, I'm
horribly untight.

What do you mean by "simple the edge type delay tempo" - is this a 
reference
to "The Edge" of U2 (who, judging from the contentx, obviously uses very
short rhytmic delays)? You might get better results (if you do not need the
"creative sound" delays in that application) by using the rhythmic delay
algorithm and tapping longer intervals.

I don't use the DL4 for clean delays (because for that, I have the D2 or 
the
Eclipse), and never use it "in line" (as opposed to a send effect) except
for rehearsal room situations. And obviously, when using the filter delay 
or
space echo algorithm, I don't look that much for clear sound.

Again, what do you mean by "unpredictable"? What I found to be sometimes
unpredictable (unless you use some precautions) is how the expression pedal
works when switching between user presets. Apart from that, it seems quite
deterministic to me...
