Connecting an Expression Pedal and Footswitch
For this setup, use a dual TS-to-TRS splitter and plug into the EXP PEDAL jack. Your
expression pedal should connect to the "Tip" and the footswitch to the "Ring" leads
of the splitter.
Connecting an expression pedal and footswitch (dual TS-to-TRS splitter connection)
You’ll need to set the Global Settings > "Pedal Jack Functionality" to the EXP Pedal +
Footswitch option. To put your pedal to use, see "Configuring One or More Parameters
for Pedal Control" on page 15. The footswitch controls FS6 which, by default, trig-
gers the “Squeal” delay repeats option—to change your footswitch’s FS6 function,
see "" on page 16.
Connecting Two Footswitches
You can achieve this type of setup using either a dual-footswitch unit (which typically utilizes
a TRS cable) or two individual footswitches (each of which typically utilizes a TS cable).

Connecting a dual-footswitch (TRS - TRS connection)
Connecting two individual footswitches (dual TS-to-TRS splitter connection)
For either of these footswitch connections, you’ll need to configure Global Settings >
"Pedal Jack Functionality" to the Two Footswitches option. By default, FS5 is set for
“Expression Toggle” and FS6 for the “Squeal” delay repeats option—to change these
functions, see "" on page 16.
Configuring One or More Parameters for Pedal
Control
TIP: The A~F factory presets already include pre-assigned parameters for an expression
pedal—see "" on page 16.
To create your own pedal assignments, operation is designed to be simple. For the
following example, we’ll configure the MIX knob for the current delay model of preset
A to be controlled by an expression pedal.
1. Load any preset on DL4 MkII, preferably one you’re OK with editing
and saving with your new changes.
2. Change the delay and/or reverb model and adjust their settings to
your liking.
Changing the models removes any existing pedal and footswitch assignments, and
provides you with a clean start for creating your new assignments. (Optionally, you
can leave the preset’s models and your new assignments will be created in addition
to any existing ones.)
3. Plug your expression pedal into the EXP PEDAL jack.
See the preceding illustrations for how to connect your pedal.
4. Move your expression pedal to the full heel-down position.
