Triangle, you could always use an expression pedal to adjust the delay volume in looper mode. You could definitely wire up a footswitch inside the pedal that when pressed switches between simulated "heel" or "toe" settings, and use that to control the tweez knob (switching it from 0 to full).

Cool, I figured an expression pedal would just control the loop volume, not the delay volume. It sounds like a Saturnworks switchable latching TS expression pedal might fit the bill. Thanks for your help.

Got a couple pedals off Goroth today. See if you can guess which. (note, the small stone is on the bench in bits ready to mod).

That orange matches perfectly!

The DL4 is mostly just used for looping. I really like the delay available in looping mode, but its impossible to use live because you can't turn it on and off. Does anyone know if there is a mod available to add a switch that would alternate the tweez knob (delay volume in loop mode) between 0 and the current setting?

Hi

You could do something whereby you add another potentiometer to the case somwhere, and have a footswitch to choose between two. You could then of course leave one at "zero".
if you wanted an LED indication with a 3PDT footswitch using this method you would need to leave Pin 1 connected to the PCB of the stock potentiometer, and use this a common point via a wire to pin 1 of your second pot.
Alternatively, because the board mounted PCBs on the Line6 have mounting tabs that are soldered in, you can lift all three legs of the stock potentiometer, and wire these to the poles of the footswitch. Using a 4PDT you could add an LED.

Alternatively you could ,aybe just wire a footswitch to "short" pins 1 and 3 of the potentiometer, which should make the resistance 0ohms across the pot, but that would rely on the Line 6 software looking at the total resistance.
I can probably take mine apart and have a play with that as its really the simplest of mods if it works.

both methods untested by me.

Ill have some free time later to draw a diagram if it helps.

Im also curious about this. Thinking of modding my DL4 so nutty shit like this would be cool to add.

Also since were talking about it, how difficult would it be to add a momentary switch to make the DL4 repeat infinately? Kinda like how some delays have a "swell" switch.

Very easy.
Momentary switch > a pot for fine-tuning the momentary repeats value, or the right value resistor to have it move to a set place on the repeats dial, or nothing to simply max out the repeats knob > repeats pot.

This board's just about full

That's wild! I wouldn't even know where to begin. Looks so fun for droning out!

love that pedal board ceiling !

that's ridiculously cool

need some routing info if possible

love the A and B on the DD-20

Right now the routing is completely straight-forward; starts on a looper board with a volume pedal and a Boomerang III and a Vox Dynamic Looper, then it goes into this thing - Superego+>Super Pulsar>POG2>10 Band EQ>Scrutator>Grand Orbiter>Julia>Gen Loss>Outward>RC3>CT5>Super Rad Delay>Supermoon>Afterneath>Timebender>Echo Park>DE7>PS2>Canyon>DD3>DD7>T2 Verb>Charlie Foxtrox>DD20 (B)>DD20(A) (I use the DD20 mainly as a drone looper, so I can set two of em. Very fun to set each one at the same length, on reverse delay, and then lower the time of one of them - when it's in reverse, there's no weird glitchy artifacts when you change the time, so you can get some cool phasing like this)

Conceptually, it's gonna eventually be like this:

Matrix mixer w/looper board in an effect loop at the very front. One output each into a) superego + modulation stuff b) glitch stuff (including Infinite Jets, Particle delay, and these two phrase samplers/practice boxes from the 90s that slow stuff down ridiculous amounts) c) delay/reverb and d) clean into a regular mixer at the end of the chain.

Then, section a) goes into sections b) and c) separately, as well as into the mixer at the end. Section b) will be able to go into section c) as well. Basically each section of the board will be able to be heard independently, and also get fed into the other sections (specifically thinking routing a loop into the glitch section and sending that off into the mixer, and sending that same loop into the delay stuff. pads for days on top of super pristine glitch biz). Will need a handful of ab/y switches or splitters or etc. Maybe loopers at the end of each section.

ALSO, whenever EHX puts out that SwitchBlade Pro that got leaked a while ago (two loops that you can switch between parallel and series routing) will probably split up my delay section, so I can have two stereo strings of delays and reverbs that I can mash the fuck together on a whim.

I have a second bass guitar case ready to go to fit all this stuff into, too.

Those lights makes it look cosy as hell. Real nice!

Yeah I'm definitely going to put some similar lights in my little music nook for the vibes.
