The Line 6 DL4 Mkii

The original Line 6 DL4 was pretty much ground breaking when released all those years ago in 1999, combining a huge number of different delay types and even a very versatile looper.
It garnered a number of high profile devotees including artists like: Jo Satriani, St Vincent, PJ Harvey, Gary Moore, Buckethead, Trent Reznor, Johnny Marr, Thom York, Matthew Bellamy, John Mayer and more. Honestly, the list just goes on and on.
Now Line 6 have taken the next step and provided us with the Mark 2 version of this absolute classic.
Let’s take a little look at what makes it so amazing.
Firstly, it’s got all the delays you could possibly ever want. Here’s the list of delays on the original DL4, which are still on the Mkii:
Tube Echo -
Based on the 1963 Maestro EP-1, the Echoplex.
Tape Echo -
Based on the Maestro EP-3, which used transistors instead of tubes.
Multi-Head -
Based on a Roland RE-101 Space Echo
