Miko, My experience with the DL4, and also Line6's POD is that they are designed to work with a signal coming from a guitar. As soon as they get a line level signal, they clip pretty easily. I tried using my pod as a insert on guitar tracks on a recent recording and we had to mess around a bit to pad the signal coming into the pod. I imagine the DL4 is similar in that it has no input level control (again, like the POD). I have been running my bass preamp (tech21 bass driver) after the dl-4, and was planning to experiment and place it before after i get the holidays over with. I will post the results if anything weird comes up. Is there any sort of clip indicator on the DL4, or are you just hearing the distortion? later, rich At 11:09 AM 12/20/99 -0800, you wrote: >Well...

I inititially tested the DL4 in the GT-5 mono fx loop which apparently doesn't run at that level. The loop seems to work well with stomp boxes. So I did that for about a week, listening with delight to my new delay modeller wonder box... no distortion. > >This weekend, I decided to check out the stereo capabilities POST GT-5 into my mixer (and into my Korg AM8000r as well as the EDP) and found that I had to lower the output level of the GT-5 quite a lot to eliminate digital distortion in the DL4. This might have been ok to a certain degree, but the level is in the -4 and below range which makes mixing a bit of a hassle. I end up boosting things everywhere and generate more noise throughout my system. So as much as I actually love the box, I'm making the hard decision to let go of it.
