CORRECTION! The price Line6 gave me was the MSRP, street price is $299 which does differentiate it from the HX Stomp

@@Iccapod the delays in the m13 never did sound as good to me as even the mk1 DL4. Also $299 is not a bad price difference brand new for this update, when you adjust for inflation. The mk1 went for $249. The equivalency of $249 in 2005 would be about $350 today, so it was actually priced pretty fairly.

at 8:00 it just becomes absolute chaos and its just the perfect review of a delay pedal. thanks rhett

The vocal delay section was genuinely great comedy

I've owned a mk1 dl4 for 22yrs! How time flies lol ..and it has never let me down .

What Rhett is missing is, it is all in how the DL4 (and looks like the DL4 MKII) acted and lays itself out in performance and music making on stage or in the studio. Those of us who fell in love with them and used them to great effect in the early 2000s know that you could make the most mangled and amazing sounds and moments with the looper and the action of the knobs and such. The stuff we use now sounds more algorithmic to me in some ways, sort of curated, while the OG DL4 was like a tool, sometimes a loose cannon but also a beautiful paintbrush to make music with.

As a long time DL-4 enthusiast o agree with you 100%. I have consistently had at least two DL-4s on my board at any given time for years. I’ll definitely be grabbing the new one and will probably get another one eventually if it’s as awesome as it looks from what I’ve seen so far.

Completely agree! Two words, Dave Knudson. He puts the DL4 loopers to such epic creative musical manoeuvres that would only ever be possible with the way the DL4 looper is laid out. I completely copied his 3xDL4 and a timeline and the three loopers going with reverse, half speed, recorded at half speed and then to standard time for double speed, then reversed! The auto trigger feature! Now with MKII all the reverbs included, along with longer looping time and an SD Card for storing those loop, before they were lost when powered off. Smaller size, yes. Fantastic update to the DL4. Yeah the Line6 delays are all in the helix line but that's just the delay engines. It's how the DL4 drives and hugs the road that makes the difference. User experience of DL4 MKII vs Hx Stomp, very different beasts. There's millions of DL4 fans around the world, I'd say this will sell very well for Line6. Oh and programming an expression pedal is a complete breeze compared to other delay pedals.

With x3 DL4’s looping within minutes had some wild soundscapes going. Zero obstacles to creativity with the DL4, bonehead simple which is just what I need!

Excellent video effects on the Dub delay outro of your track. I really enjoy your videos that start with a composition. Let’s go 1 million subscribers!

The opening track with the OP-1 is insane dude! One f my favorites you’ve done. 🔥

holy shit the video filter during the Reggie Watt part was so well timed for a second I thought it was just my mind feeling overwhelmed by your looping vocal but then i realized the effect and it added to my apprehension. Nice edit!

Going through the looper with the mic is Rhett's greatest accomplishment yet. I was in tears.

The vocal demo is channeling some very strong Longmont Potion Castle vibes. And i love it

Amazing vocal demo. Most artistic thing I’ve heard on KZread to date.

Thank you Rhett for sharing with us today, I used to own/use the original DL4. Great plug/play pedal! Always value your input, wisdom and experience- it's what make you a pro- keep on keeping on :)

Awesome intro Rhett! Different that what we are used to listen when you play, but I liked it a lot!

Rhett, that intro jam might have been the coolest one yet. Great video. Loved the poking fun at the looping function too... made me laugh!

Now that we’ve all watched this demo, we really don’t need to watch the other 2,000 demos that came out in the last 24 hours 😂 thank you! I did pick up an og DL4 a couple of months ago, there is a reason why they are so popular, the DL4 is a great tool for creativity. You can make it work without a manual and find interesting sounds quickly that are really inspiring

The absolute chaos as soon as you picked up the mic… by far the funniest video gear demo I’ve ever seen

Lovin’ the shoutout to Reggie Watts . . . . 😍🤩

Rhett..... The looping sequence of this review is f-ing hilarious and golden!!!

I love the DL4 mark1! I’ve owned 3-4 of them over the years and keep going back to them.

That was actually hilarious trying to understand you while all those delays/loops were happening 😂 great demonstration!

That's my jam Rhett, love it, thank you!

I loved the vocal part :-) Clever way to do it, when you don't sing or beatbox but still want to demonstrate the functionality.

One of my favorite opening tracks you’ve done

The addition of MIDI is HUGE on this MK2 update. I’d say even more so than the additional delay algorithms and reverb. I’d probably still be using my old DL4 but I needed MIDI and the MK1 didn’t have it.

Best delay of all time. The choices you have and the ability to control every parameter is golden

Thanks Rhett, VERY helpful to summarize with "who should buy this", comparing to other products. If only more reviewers did that...

I LOVED my DL4 MK-1 but I had 2 fail on me, which is apparently a known issue with those units. If this new one fixes that on top of all the other cool updates, I’d say Line 6 has once again done right by its customers. Way to go! Great video, Rhett

This is so cool. I used to have an old one with a cast logo in late 2000's. Definitely a well-deserved comeback!

Best intro song ever heard in your videos! Awesome!

Great video Rhett. Certainly a staple in the industry. I like what Line 6 has done with the MK2. love that guitar!

That Mic segment is what I imagine talking to the voices in your head sounds like. I was in stitches the whole time.

Love that jam at the beginning!

Very interesting to see a TE OP1 on your channel. I've recently taken the dive in to electronic music and synths, and I've definitely enjoyed the process. It would be interesting to see you make some videos regarding your use of the OP1 or other electronic instruments and how you incorporate it into your style of music. Appreciate the uploads as always, rock on brother!

That XLR mic input is also super useful for use with guitar: That way you can use your delays (and reverbs) after amp & speaker without the need for any other gear. The best additions besides the new algorithms are the 122 presets and the Midi connections.

One word: YESSSSS 🙌🙌🙌🙌 I was literally thinking about when L6 would release a second version of this iconic pedal not two days ago. So cool to see you review such a great piece of gear!

This is more like 1.5 version. Hella half assed

That looping segment was a very clever addition of humor!

I had one of the originals and it was fun, especially since it was my first experience with a looper. However, it was the only piece of gear I've ever bought that didn't work, brand new out of the box, and had to be sent for repair under the warranty. And it's the only pedal that I ever owned that started to have problems within the first year of owning it (the knobs would stick if there was the slightest amount of humid weather, and two out of the four switches stopped working altogether). I have to say, I own a Zoom MS70CDR now, and it absolutely slays the Line 6 for less than half the price.

I did not know that this MkII was a thing! Thanks for the review, the XLR input is cool too. Cool to have your take on the HX stomp too.

I like that it has knobs which are accessible on the fly and doesn’t require menu diving on a tiny little screen.

Yes we need more synths and pedals just some awesome tracks for this video.

The loop section chaos was amazing

1:53 ok (hold on) x3 , let's get to the video but WHAT AN INTRO!!!! SOUNDED AMAZING!! LOVED IT

Wow... just sooooo much Rhett in this video!!!!!

Watching Rhett get lost in the loop was the best 🤣. Love this channel but that made my day.

Thumbs up just for the intro song alone! Tons of emotion and feel with that one.

That guitar tone in the intro is wonderful.

I have a Stomp XL and will still get this. I absolutely love this pedal and the format. It’s going side by side with my Blue Sky in the XL effects loop.

Me too, I was dying.

I had a DL4 (borrowed) for a while and loved it. I especially loved the backward delay sound. When it came time recently to purchase a delay recently I went with the TC flashback 2x4 and love it, but have to admit the backward sound on it is not the best. The MkII looks great, but that is a bit steep of a price for me.

Great review! 10:36 Price is $299.99

Love it Rhett.

Great shirt Rhett! Greetings from Colombia!

Woah!!!!! This looks so cool!!

This is one of the coolest, weirdest RS opening jams and I strongly support it

The legend continues... inues... inues... inues... Cheers Rhett, great review

lol I listened to the intro like 7 times, SO WEIRRRRDD!!! Love it!

A great pedal!!!! A front of house engineer i knew back in the day used a DL4 for spot delays etc

Sweet jams bro.

I have 2 DL4s on my board side by side which is not very pedalboard friendly. Watching Dave Knudson inspired me to do that and the crazy amount of sounds you can get are endless/worth it. The MKII's smaller size is a big plus imo. I've never had any of the common issues people have or one give up on me despite stomping on them and turning the knobs aggressively but hopefully the new ones are really built like tanks and have addressed some of the past issues as well.

I can imagine you and Jazz School Chris thinking about how to show the looping function...An idea was brought up as a joke, and then one of you realized how brilliant and hilarious it would be. I laughed, then laughed more. Was really cool to see this today. Well done!

Wow... What a beautiful semi hollow guitar!!

That was very comedic with the example of the looper and delay haha makes me think of Joel Havers animated tutorial

Oh man that semi, I think just gave me one!

I've no use for one but still really like it. Looks cool, no tedious screens to scroll through, sounds great etc etc etc. What's not to like

Awesome intro. Reminds me of early Flaming Lips

Thank you Rhett for once again over drafting my checking account 😩😩😆

I used to own the DL4 when it first came out. It was a great sounding delay pedal but man it sucked to lug around. I now just use my Nemesis and my BOSS DD3 for a more regular delay sound. I might now have to get this one being smaller and more. Thanks for the video!

I use a helix along with the DL4 MKII. I mainly use the DL4 for looping... But it sure is a lot of fun to play with the delays/reverbs on the DL4 it self. I love it.

Really nice intro song. 🙌🏼

Thumbs up for the video editor :)))

Nice guitar in the intro. At the end it went from Radiohead into Piper at the Gates of Dawn Pink Floyd Syd Barrett. Love your work. 🤩

Love the Reggie Watts shoutout! This was definitely made for him!

can't w8 to see the mm4 mkII!

Being able to re trigger a loop ala minus the bear… that why I love it more than the other delays

much love

What a lovely guitar.

Wait... $499? I’ll just keep using the mk1 for looping.

The hx stomp is cool but have in mind how quickly you were able to dial tones and get inspired. On the hx stomp sometimes you have to dig in the menus and stuff to get something out. I love this update

I think it's really cool. An updated classic. A bit pricey maybe (but it does a lot too.) It might be good in the effects loop of my Headrush. I've always liked the Line 6 verbs and delays.

I see Sweetwater has it for $299. I think that puts it under Strymon, Empress, etc cost wise. Also, I think the smaller size gives it a slight advantage over hx effects.

IT’a ABOUT DANG TIME
