Hi Keith,
The Line 6 is maybe the better choice for you, you
can take a look at the Akai Headrush (but most of us here don't put it on the
same level). What is great about the DL4 is that it can sounds like a couple of
old analog units and it does it pretty well for a "cheap" digital unit. If I
remember correctly, Bill Frisell (a jazz guitarist you might know if you're in
Jazz) actually uses 2 DL4s... But you can also loop with it, which is great.
Personnally, I prefer older units, but it can be
difficult to find an old loop delay. Even after some good tries
with the Headrush and the DL-4, I'm not able to quit my good, old Deltalab's
Echotron. I am maybe only nostalgic, but if you find one of these, give it
a try... They are pretty cheap on the market today (around
100-150$). They do not have the DL4's flexibility, but about sound,I find
them 200% better. But it is only my opinion.
About mails, I was also a little "stunned" with it
the first days, but it is great... I love Looper's delight and my fellow
loopers... pretty nice people here! Look at the web site for more informations
about the different units on the market!!!
