1. Model Selector Turn to choose the desired delay, Classic Looper, or reverb
model.
Toggle the ALT/LEGACY button to MkII (LED is not lit) and turn the knob to choose
any MkII delay. The MkII delays are those labeled in white text. See "MkII Delays"
on page 29.
Toggle the ALT/LEGACY button to Legacy (LED is lit green) and turn the knob to
choose any classic DL4 delay. The Legacy delays are those labeled in green text.
See "Legacy Delays" on page 34.
Press and hold the ALT/LEGACY button while turning the knob to choose any reverb.
See "" on page 26.
2. ALT/LEGACY Button As noted throughout this manual, you’ll press or press-
hold this button to modify the behavior of the knobs to access alternate functions,
such as MkII vs. original DL4 delay models and parameters, secret reverb options,
Looper functions, global settings, and more.
3. TIME/SUBDIV Turn to choose the desired delay repeat time. Hold the ALT/
LEGACY button while turning to choose a note subdivision value (from 1/8th note
triplet to dotted 1/2 note) of the current Tap Tempo. Note that your TIME setting
and Tempo are stored individually per saved preset (or your Tempo can be set as
Global—see "Global Settings" on page 43).
4. REPEATS Turn to get the desired number of delay repeats, or press-hold the
ALT/LEGACY button while turning to adjust the amount of decay time for the reverb.
For most delay models, you’ll get a single repeat at the minimum setting, and infinite
repeats at maximum for that runaway feedback effect (or “Squeal,” as we like to call
it), reminiscent of the tape echo machines of yore.*
For reverb models, you can adjust the decay from 0 ms at minimum, with the maxi-
mum decay time varying up to several seconds, depending on the specific reverb
model you’re using.
*TIP: You can set a footswitch to "Squeal" to instantly toggle the infinite delay repeats
setting to trigger it at will—see "Global Settings" on page 43.
5. TWEAK Turn to adjust the assigned delay model’s parameter, or press-hold
ALT/LEGACY and turn the knob to adjust the assigned reverb model’s parameter.
See "Effects Models" on page 25 for the lists of TWEAK-assigned parameters
per model).
When you have the Model Selector set to LOOPER, use the TWEAK knob to adjust
the amount of modulation for the Classic Looper’s built-in echo effect—also see
"Using the Classic Looper" on page 21.
6. TWEEZ Turn to adjust the assigned delay model’s parameter. See "Effects Models"
on page 25 for the lists of TWEEZ-assigned parameters per delay model).
Hold the ALT/LEGACY while turning to choose the signal routing for the delay and
reverb effects. See "" on page 12.
When you have the Model Selector set to LOOPER, use this knob to adjust the
volume of the repeats for the Classic Looper’s echo effect, from 0 (essentially, echo
is "off") to a 50/50 mix of dry signal/echo repeats. See "Using the Looper" on page
19 for more details.
7. MIX Turn to adjust the balance between the dry and delay-effected signal, or press
and hold ALT/LEGACY to adjust the mix of the reverb-effected signal.
When using the Classic Looper, turn to adjust the playback level of your recorded loop.
8. Footswitches A, B, and C Press these footswitches to recall and toggle
presets A, B, or C, respectively.* You’ll see the footswitch’s LED lit green when the
preset is active—press the lit footswitch to bypass the pedal. Press and hold the cur-
rent footswitch until the LED flashes to save your current settings to its preset location.
When you have the Model Selector set to LOOPER, these switches perform the Looper
functions as labeled below each switch: Record/Overdub, Play/Stop, and Play Once.
*NOTE: Optionally, configure the TAP footswitch for Presets DEF to allow you to toggle
footswitches A, B, C to access either presets A, B, and C or D, E, and F. See "Global
Settings" on page 43.
You can alternatively access 128 presets via external MIDI—see "MIDI" on page 49.
9. TAP Footswitch You’ll see the red LED surrounding this footswitch flash to
indicate the current rate for your delay repeats. Turn the TIME knob to change the
rate from fast to slow. (The longest delay time varies among delay model types.)
Alternatively, stomp on this footswitch rhythmically to set a "tap tempo" to which
the delay models can follow. Press-hold ALT/LEGACY and turn TIME to choose a
note subdivision value for your delay repeats to follow. See "About Tap Tempo" on
page 12.
When you have the Model Selector set to LOOPER, toggling this switch changes
the Looper between half and full speed, and double-pressing this switch changes
between forward and reverse.
TIP: You can alternatively configure the TAP footswitch to be a dedicated on/off switch for
the 1 Switch Looper, or for other functions—see the Global Settings - "TAP Footswitch
Assign" on page 44.
