I've been playing with my newly acquired DL-4. I normally don't get along with delay, but this thing is awesome! A few questions for other owners:

1.) What are you favorite settings and uses for this beast?

2.) How do you clear the memory bank? (mine is used and there's a bunch of crap on it. I never know if I'm purely in my own setting or if I'm in the previous owners.)

3.) Anyone know how to set it to get a long slap back delay like in this song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIBNpd9s_yA

Theres delay on a dl4?!

All this time ive only ever used it as a looper.

Seriously though, ive only owned it for a few weeks. Never really tried the delays...gonna go do that now.

Fair enough... how about anyone that's messed with the delays?

Just got a DL4, this answered all my questions. If you press and hold a switch for 3 seconds it erases* the preset of that stomp switch

EDIT:
*Saves
Wasnt paying attention while typing

If I have some real spare time, I'll try and figure out some more of the settings I use for mine. You can get some pretty insane/awesome sounds out of a DL4. I have some almost ring-mod-ish tones set on mine. Pick the sweep echo (I think?) and set the delay time to basically zero. Then set a fair amount of repeats and fuck with the modulation until it sounds awesome.

But yeah, most of the time I use it as a looper. Sometimes a second looper in conjunction with my RC30.

Yup. It saves whatever setting you currently have.

You guys rock! Thanks for the info.

My favorite thing to do with my DL-4 is using the Stereo Delay; Mono In->Stereo out to two different amps. Everything set to 3'o'clock. The Tweak Knob is the Delay Time on the 2nd delay and the Tweez Knob is the repeat (basically as near as I can gather; just a double up of the knobs actually labeled Delay Time and Repeats). You can hear the two different delays on each amp and they cycle a few milliseconds off of one another. I twiddle the Delay times for awesome dive bombs and tape drag sounds.

i really like using the reverse setting, setting the mix at about 50% and setting it to a faster time

the three presets ive been using for a while are analog delay with the mix down a bit so its more of a swirly sound behind my playing, space echo with some random combination of playback heads (i forgot how i set it) for a nice ambient sound, and a DMM preset with heavy modulation for when i wanna get trippy.

im modding it with a switch to activate the looper on a whim, since i use the looper quite a bit as well.

love my dl4.
