STEREO
A Line 6 original.
Stereo delays, my friend... It’s one of the secrets of the “Big L.A. Solo” sound of the late 80s. Set one side as a fast echo with many repeats, and the other
as a slow delay with just a few repeats. Voila, you’re famous!
This model highlights one of the features of your DL4 MkII—the true stereo nature of both the direct path and the delay processing. When you connect and send signals into both
the Left and Right Inputs, the signals are kept discrete, processed separately, and passed individually to the Left and Right Outputs (for a mono in/out hookup, left and right delays
are both sent to the left/mono out). Thus, your stereo signals that you process with your DL4 MkII will retain their stereo separation, rather than collapsing to mono, as happens with
some of those lesser effect units (we’re not mentioning any names here).
TIME/SUBDIV sets the Delay Time for the left channel.*
REPEATS sets number of Repeats for the left channel.
TWEAK sets the Delay Time for the right channel.*
TWEEZ sets the number of Repeats for the right channel.
*NOTE: As with other delay models, you can press-hold the ALT/LEGACY button and turn the TIME/SUBDIV knob to choose a note subdivision for the delay time to follow. Note that the Stereo
Delay has two delays (Left and Right)—pressing-holding ALT/LEGACY and turning TIME/SUBDIV sets both delays times to the selected note subdivision value. Also see "About Tap Tempo" on
page 12.
PING PONG
A Line 6 original.
The Ping Pong Delay has two separate channels of delay, with the output of each flowing into the other, going back and forth like an auditory game of ping
pong. The TIME/SUBDIV knob sets the overall delay time, and the TWEAK knob sets the time differential between the left and right channels’ delays as a percentage value.
If that all sounds a bit too technical, just turn TIME/SUBDIV to set the longer delay’s time and turn TWEAK to adjust the shorter delay’s time. If you set TWEEZ straight up at 12 o’clock,
your delays are panned evenly left and right. As you might guess, this one sounds quite a bit more fun in stereo—but if you’re utilizing just the L/MONO output of your device, you’ll
hear the two delay paths interacting in mono.
TWEAK adjusts the Offset between the two delays from 0% - 98%
TWEEZ adjusts the Stereo Spread from 0% to 100% (at 0%, the signal is mono).
REVERSE
A Line 6 original.
!seltaeB eht dna xirdneH imiJ ekil tsuJ. Take a step back in time with your cool reverse delay. Whatever you play in comes back at you backward, delayed
by the time you set with the TIME/SUBDIV knob. To use this little wonder most effectively, try playing a legato lick. Longer licks can translate into very cool reverse phrases. When
using Reverse, try setting MIX fully-clockwise (100% wet) so all you hear is the reversed sound—instant backward guitar solo fun.
If you have an expression pedal connected (see "Setting up an Expression Pedal and Footswitches" on page 14), try setting the pedal’s toe-down position to a very short delay
time —this will give you a weird “resonant filter” effect. Set the heel-down position to a nice long reverse time. Then start playing and sweep the pedal back from for the hippest time
warp ever available for guitar.
TWEAK adjusts Modulation Speed from 0.05 Hz to 9.40 Hz.
TWEEZ adjusts Modulation Depth from 0% to 100%
