hi all, here's the info for the pot inside the expression pedal from Line666. just four little screws...that wasn't so bad... a part number: 6G 3B20KX2 so, you electrogizmopartsandsolder guys should be able to go from there, yes? that's the only info on the pot. hope this helps. as for comments on the exp. pedal problems i have with the DL4, perhaps the archives may contain something...i've stated them before a couple o' times. here goes once again as brief as possible. The expression pedal is implemented in that it 'records' movements made to the panel knobs. So, put the exp pedal toe up and get a setting you like...if ya can, save this to one of the presets...makes things a bit easier to go back if ya screw up. Now, push the pedal toe down, and change the knobs to the preferred new setting. your'e done. So, now the pedal remembers where the knobs were in toe up, and now in toe down and it will move between these settings. so you can choose any ONE, or more knobs to turn and have the exp pedal control. fine. so here's my beef: I have the expression pedal set to control the mix only. toe up? no delay. toe down, 50/50 mix. Now let's say i have a preset delay with a certain tempo, but in a bridge, for example, i want to half the tempo. i can do that with my tap tempo, right? sure. tap in the new tempo and off ya go. Just try to mess with that expression pedal now...I Dare You. If you need to back off the mix in any way via the exp pedal, you will get a warp of the original tempo and the new half tempo delay (which is a trippy sound sure, but not one condusive to a structured 'song'), and the severity of the morph will depend on where the hell the pedal was when you hit that tap tempo change. beef 2: loop mode. expression pedal controls mix only. what a great thing to have a predelay in front of the looper, esp for a box so reasonably priced. so you lay a great loop bed down, and you want to come over the top with live playing (or i will often catch a loop in a digi PDS pedal earlier in the chain), then i'd like to add some delay on that via the DL4, maybe adding it into the DL4 loop sporadically, if i like. fine. Again, don't expect to be able to change the loop mix level via the exp pedal without it affecting some change to that predelay messing about you did. Problem is the pedal is always AWARE of the movements happening in real time, and it remembers and spits em back at you when you move it. I worked with George Van Wagner at line6 for a while on this. he concocted some trick of using an a/b box in line with the pedal. click it on to control the mix, but click it off to do any real time changes, so the pedal wouldn't 'see' the DL4, then click back to adjust mix (or whatever). Great idea, 'cept it didn't work. The exp pedal would stop 'seeing' the DL4, but wouldn't lock back on when you clicked back. sigh. i've been enjoying the DL4 more as a recording fx box than live...but then i haven't been playing live as much lately. the other part is that it's not line level, so that kind of holds you up there, too. other than that, excellent box. question: would it help to have one of the ebtech line level shifters? fx send out > ebtech > DL4 > 2 mixer channels. Or is that doing the same thing as just turning down the fx send? seems like i can't get a good send to the DL4 without clipping it, or having it sound weak on the return. A DL4pro with line level and better pedal support would be lovely. i would love to use the DL4 more in conjunction with my Electrix stuff, 'cept the DL4 is very sensitive to hot levels, and the Electrix stuff absolutely wants hot levels. hope this helps. as usual YMMV. rich >--- rich <rich@nuvisionsca.com> wrote: >> also, don't expect magic with an exp. pedal controlling the DL4. it >> works, and it really opens the pedal up...but it's been a frustrating >> ride for me ever since.
