Re: Why a DL4

Matt,
I think I've had a switch go out on mine.  It's no longer working :-(
Is that likely to be an adjustment or a replacement, and how difficult is the unit to work on?
Thanks,
JK

Hi

Tha DL4 is awesome and REALLY easy to use but the EDP is much better. I use one and own 2 but i'd never of got into looping without the dl4. Pretty reliable also but keep an eye on the switches  - you need to keep the tight.

Good luck mate

Hi,
 
I'm new to the community and fairly new to looping, but am a FOR (Friend of Rick) and he's finally gotten me to come over to the dark side...
I'm looping and enjoying the heck out of it.
 
On Rick's recommendation I picked up a DL4.  I understand that it's highly regarded in this community, and often preferred over the Boss RC20XL.
 
Rick's been swamped organizing the festival, so I haven't been able to put this question to him directly, and figured I'd ask it here.
 
On other musical communities (primarily bass players) I see the Boss generally preferred over the DL4.  The reasons generally cited are sturdiness, longer loop time, and "undo" function.
 
The loop time on the DL4 is fine for me, and I can't speak to sturdiness because I haven't had it long.  The lack of an "undo" is a bit of a bother, but I can live with it.
 
But I'm curious - if you prefer a DL4, why?  I'd like to better understand the advantages of this tool.
 
Thanks for sharing your insights,
 
JK
