Re: Boss DD-20/RC-20 (actually DL4...)

I send a pretty hot level to many other devices with no problem, but the 
DL4
would disstort. I had to attenuate things about -3 to -6db to alleviate
that. It didn't seem to have much headroom. It sounded great when it was at
that level, but I have a couple self-oscillating devices which can really
get out of hand in front of it and really couldn't see putting a brick-wall
limiter in front of the DL4. I fried two of them. That's all I know, and 
I'm
not buying another one. My Boss DD5, Lexicon Vortex, EDP, and GT-5 all
handle my signal pretty well, but the DL4 was the weakest of the batch and
slowly deteriorated to less-than-useful status. My second one had a
crackling on one side of the stereo field, and eventually that side died.
It's a mono device at the moment.
