Configuring Footswitch Control Options
Your footswitches can be set up to each control the desired function by managing their
Global Settings, as follows.
1. Choose the preferred footswitch function for each, as described
within the Global Settings table (Tap Tempo, Looper Mode, Expression
Toggle, or Squeal).
NOTE: The TAP footswitch offers the option to control the 1 Switch Looper (see "Using
the 1 Switch Looper" on page 23), and external footswitches 5 and 6 offer the option
to enter/exit the Classic Looper mode.
The TAP footswitch also offers the additional option to control the Presets DEF bank (see
"Loading Presets D, E, and F" on page 10).
• For the on-board TAP footswitch, go to the "TAP Footswitch Assign" option.
The Factory default setting is TAP Tempo.
• For Footswitch 5, go to the "Footswitch 5 Assign" option. The factory default
setting is Expression Toggle.
• For Footswitch 6, go to the "Footswitch 6 Assign" option. The factory default
setting is Squeal.
2. If choosing Expression Toggle, you can then configure the footswitch
to control any parameter (or multiple parameters) per preset—much
like is possible with an expression pedal, where the switch toggles
between your two defined parameter values.
To configure an Expression Toggle footswitch:
• Load a saved preset and choose the desired delay and reverb models and
their settings.
• Press and release the footswitch once.
• Turn a DL4 MkII knob to the desired setting (for example, turn the MIX knob
to a low value).
• Press and release the footswitch once again.
• Turn the same DL4 MkII knob to a different value (turn the MIX knob to a higher
value).
• Optionally, repeat the above previous four steps on the current preset to assign
another parameter for simultaneous control.
• Now when you toggle the Expression Toggle switch, it will toggle the current
delay model’s mix level (as well as any other configured parameter) between
the two set values.
• Save the preset to retain your footswitch assignments (see "Saving a Preset"
on page 11). You can repeat the steps on the same preset to update them
to a different parameter—and configure other presets as well.
Controlling The Classic Looper Parameters
There is even more control to be had with your expression pedal and footswitches—you
can also configure them to control the Classic Looper mode parameters. This allows
you to perform feats such as manipulating the Looper’s built-in echo parameters and
the loop playback volume, all while actively using the Classic Looper!
TIP: If not yet familiar, it would probably be a good idea to read up on the Classic Looper
before jumping into the following steps—see "Using the Looper" on page 19.

Functions of knobs while in Classic Looper mode
1. Set the DL4 MkII’s Selector knob to LOOPER to enter the Classic
Looper mode.
2. With your expression pedal and/or footswitches connected, you can
create an assignment to any (or more than one, for simultaneous
control) of the Looper mode’s TIME, REPEATS, TWEAK, TWEEZ, or
MIX knobs.
For creating expression pedal assignments to these knobs, see "Configuring One
or More Parameters for Pedal Control" on page 15.
For creating footswitch assignments to these knobs, see "" on page 16.
Once you’ve create pedal or footswitch assignments to these knobs,
your assignments remain intact whenever you come back to the Classic
Looper mode from any preset, and even after you’ve powered DL4
MkII off and back on again!
