Re: DL4 expression pedal

[Johannes Korn <jenko.nashorn@googlemail.com>]

Other pedals should work, and you should be able to control the other parameters as well.

 

I once made an expression pedal for my DL4 out of a cheap volume pedal myself. It worked, but the potentiometer had the wrong characteristic, so most of the way nothing happened, and on the last bit the changes were radical. But worked in principle, and I could control the delay *and* the mix of the loop.

Hope this helps.

I'd like to try an expression pedal for my Line6 DL4 which I currently run
in "loop sampler" mode only. The manual suggests that I can control several
parameters with it such as loop mix, delay length, delay speed. Is your
experience that one has to have the Line6 EX-1 pedal for this? I was only
successful with a Roland EV-5 (which should work according to the LD page)
but it only changes delay speed. All my other expression pedals have no
effect at all.

The last time I saw Eiving Aarset, he controlled the mix with an expression
pedal, but sometimes seemed to also control delay gain and delay speed - is
there some trick how to control several parameters, or can one only do one
at a time, having to unplug and recalibrate the pedal every timeone wants to
control another parameter? or can it be changed on the fly somehow?
