Quick Start
Hooking It All Up
To follow we’ve provided several common setup examples for your DL4 MkII.
NOTE: DL4 MkII’s Inputs and Outputs are Instrument Level.
Into Your Amp’s Input
The simplest setup is to connect DL4 MkII in between your guitar output and amplifier
input, as shown below. Optionally, you can connect other pedals in series, and DL4
MkII’s form factor makes it quite pedalboard-friendly too.

Into Your Amp’s Effects Loop
When using an amplifier that includes an effects loop, it is often preferred to connect
some effects (most often drives, distortions, wahs, and compressors) into the amp’s front
input (which places them before your amp’s preamp), and time-based effects (like delays
and reverbs) in the amp’s effects loop. Placing DL4 MkII in your amp’s effects loop can
provide a smoother tone to the delay and reverb tails, especially with distorted tones.

GUITAR IN
TIP: Optionally, you can also connect a MIDI 5-pin cable from the MIDI Out of another
pedal or controller device into the DL4 MkII’s MIDI In to control DL4 parameters, or to
sync tempo via MIDI Clock—see "Using MIDI Clock for Tempo Sync" on page 49.
