Re: DL4 expression pedal

["Steve Moyes" <stephenmoyes@blueyonder.co.uk>]

I use a very cheap Proel expression pedal with my DL4 and it works fine. 
In 
loop mode I just use it to control loop mixe, but you cand also control 
other parameters at the same time. It will only retain the last setting 
that 
you saved, but you don't need to unplug it to recalibrate. As Matt says, 
you 
can just twist the knobs to change what is controlled, but unless you save 
those changes, it will revert to previous settings next time you plug it 
in.
