<<How loud are those switches? sometimes those big heavy-duty metal switches also make a heavy-duty loud klunk when you press them. I notice that whenever I see people use the dl-4 in a quiet setting, or at the quiet moment just as they start recording a loop. The loud noise of the pedal is distracting.>> Yeah, I know what you mean. When I first got my DL-4, I tried making tapes using my boombox, just sitting in front of my guitar amp. Apart from the poor sound quality, I was also picking up the sound of the footswitches. Sometimes it wasn't so bad, but there were bits where I was changing speed every few seconds as I played a phrase, and then it'd be especially noticeable. After that first attempt at recording, I simply started running one of my Radio Shack Optimus tape decks off the line out on my Crate practice amp (I'm hoping to have a good tube amp sometime in the next few months). That's the way I've recorded everything since, and haven't had any problems whatsoever. I remember seeing one psychedelic band where the guitarist was using a Digitech pedal, I think he said it was called the Space Station, and as he was operating the pedal, I could hear these squeaking sounds coming from the pedal itself (but then, I was wearing earplugs and standing right in front of him). ===== May you never thirst!
