The Line 6 DL4 MkII is an updated version of the popular delay/looper pedal with advanced new features including 15 new MkII delays, an XLR input for microphones, MIDI ports, heavy-duty foot switches, and three bypass options. Two looper modes are now onboard, and the microSD card expansion allows for extended looping times up to 240 seconds. All this fits in a chassis that's smaller and lighter than the original, but with the same intuitive layout users have come to love.

Identical Layout as Original DL4    30 Delays: 15 MkII + 15 Legacy DL4    2 Looper Types    Up to 240 Seconds of Looping Time    Hours of Looping with Optional SD Card    XLR Microphone Input    MIDI In and Out/Thru DIN Connectors    128 Presets via MIDI    Footswitch Control of Up to 6 Presets    Switchable True, Buffered, or DSP Bypass

Fans of the original DL4 delay pedal will find all of their favorite sounds exactly where they expect them to be, with the same Tweak and Tweez control parameter assignments to which they've become accustomed. The 15 new MkII delays were drawn from the HX family of amp and effects processors and include both more recent versions of classic effects and cutting-edge Line 6 originals such as the supervibey Glitch Delay.

The DL4 MkII features a simple 1-switch looper in addition to a classic 4-switch looper, both of which provide up to 240 seconds of recording time. By inserting an optional microSD card into the slot on the rear of the pedal, recording time may be extended up to several hours and a loop may be stored across power cycles. The loopers operate in either mono or stereo, and may be positioned in the signal chain before or after other effects.

It's no secret that the DL4 has been used for processing and looping by lots of people besides guitarists, such as vocalists and others who capture their performance with a microphone. Now, dynamic microphones can be plugged directly into the pedal's XLR mic input, eliminating the need for converter cables, mixers, or other external devices. This feature also makes the DL4 MkII a handy tool for sound designers and other sonic adventurers.

Onboard MIDI In and Out/Thru DIN connectors enable the DL4 MkII to receive continuous controller, program change, and other MIDI messages from external sources such as MIDI controllers, thus allowing parameters to be modified dynamically and presets to be selected remotely. The DL4 MkII provides access to three presets using the A, B, and C footswitches, or six presets if the Tap switch is set to toggle between two banks of presets (A, B, and C, and D, E, and F). In addition, the DL4 MkII can store up to 128 presets, selectable via MIDI.

Q: 6. Does it fit the Rode Lavalier Go?

A: No, I don't think the Shure Snap-Fit Windscreen for DL4 and DH5 DuraPlex Microphones is going to work with the Rode Lavalier GO because the microphones that this windscreen is designed to fit are flat and the windscreen snaps on. As a better option for the Lavalier GO, you can use the WindTech Windscreen- 3/16" - 3-Pack, White (B&H # WI2300PW).

Q: 7. Is there a way to connect this to a computer via USB?

A: As the Yamaha MG06X 6-Input Mixer with Built-In Effects does not have built-in USB interface capabilities itself, an external USB interface would need to be implemented in between the mixer and the computer. An example of this type of interface is BH #FOSCARL2I23G Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2x2 USB Audio Interface.

Q: 8. Can the effects be applied to Channels 3/4 and 5/6? Reading the owner's manual, it seems as if they can only be applied to Channels 1 and 2.

A: The built-in effects processor on the Yamaha MG06X can only be engaged on Channels 1 and 2 via the FX buttons located on those channels. The stereo inputs 3/4 and 5/6 do not have this feature available.
