I do.  Not always, but I do like the delays.  I do use the delays in
conjunction with the DD20 and the RC20  I'm not sure I'm a traditional
looper (if there is such a thing) since I hook everything up and start
twiddling knobs til something cool comes out. :)

Mom got me a 24 channel mixer for Christmas, so I spent a few days 
rerouting
everything.  It worked out pretty well. I just have to figure out where to
put the ModFX boxes... I'm a lazy butt when it comes to redoing things.  I
like to turn it on and go, so I like to have everything setup for ease of
switching.

My only real issue with the loopers I use is that I wish the foot switches
were separate from the controls.  I like having the knobs on the desk but I
wish I could use the footswitches with my feet.

"Of all the people I know who use this unit, only 2 use the
delay modelers more than the looper."

Frankly,  I don't know ANYONE who uses the DL-4 as a delay modeller
unless it's in conjunction with another DL:-4   as a looper,  but then
again,  we both tend to hang out with musicians who are really 'out of the 
box'
and who are very, very creative.

The guy at Line 6 practically laughed at me when I started talking to him 
about
adding features at NAMM several years ago.    He said the looping function 
was
just thrown in as an afterthought and that it was guitar players who 
bought 
the pedal
for delays who made up 95% of their clientelle.

Now, it suddenly occurs to me, years later, that he was just sick and 
tired 
of people
with suggestions for improvements that one gets at NAMM and he was just 
brushing me
off, but who knows.
