state), this is basically somedynamic feedback loop controller."


Yeah,   Rainer,  I was in such a hurry to get to soundcheck that I didn't 
have time to 
go to the website and with four unmarked input/outputs I couldn't get it 
to work.

I had assumed that it was a built in analogue delay with feedback 
connected to the photo 
eye but it is, as you say,  even hipper than that.  You need to put 
another stomp box effect into the upper 'loop' to get it to do anything.   
The cool news is that a Fuzz box sounds amazing through it;  a digital 
delay,  a radical modulation effect (like the Line 6 Modulation 
Pedal).

I wrote to Shawn Cleary,  the really nice and generous spirited guy who 
I've corresponded with at Analogue Haven (buy your pedals from this 
outfit, I've been very happy with them) 
and he politely sent me to the same page you went to............<blush>

I got it working now and it's really, really cool...........especially in 
the manipulation 
of feedback and distortion effects.

Hey Rick and DL4 users,
it occurs to me that not many people use the DL4 in the aux send of a 
mixer,i myself tried it a long time ago and i didnt like the sound of it 
but i had a cheap mixer back then and havent bother to try it again since 
i use it as a delay stomp,how clean is the signal hooked up that way?"

I myself, tried using the DL4 in my Aux send and didn't like it.
Normally, I use an insert channel on my mixing board to create a loop for 
my effects 
but in this set up , I wanted real time control over the physical feedback 
of the little 
amplifiers I'm using, so I ran the whole board into a the amp and mic-d 
the amp.
Then I routed the mic channels to my LP-1   (which I am just in love with, 
by the way)
