Rick and all, On the DL-4 I wish that it had more delay time in the regular models at leasts as much as the looper, in lieu of that I wish it had variable feedback on the looper, I love your 1/4 time switch idea. More sound mangling options! On the Boss DD-20 I don't like that it has 1- no expression pedal control 2- no feedback on the looper 3,4- no forward, reverse, half speed, double speed switchs 5- except for some tricks talked about on this list you can't go back and forth between ( i wish all of the presets) two or more presets, modifying them as you go. 6- I wish that you could stop, start the playback of a loop with the push of a button (no stutters on this one) That said the two of them together are a blast. Good topic Rick!
