Minus the Bear's David Knudson Demos the New Line 6 DL4 MkII

Ойын-сауық

In partnership with Line 6, we're looking at how the new DL4 MkII compares to the original. And who better to ask than David Knudson? We gave the DL4 master two of the new models to see what he could do. Learn more here: bit.ly/David-Knudson-DL4
Download FREE Reverb sample packs here: bit.ly/Free-Sample-Packs
We're also excited to announce The Only Thing You Have to Change is Everything, the debut solo album from David Knudson, streaming everywhere 5/13/22!
If you pre-save Dave's new album, you can get exclusive access to hear the new music first. For the hardcore MTB fans, Dave and Jake Snider (lead singer of Minus The Bear) just dropped a new track called Jealous Time Steals! Check out the new track now: platoon.lnk.to/the-only-thing...

I pulled out my phone, but only recorded about 10 seconds before I realized I was wasting a truly precious moment, and put it right back in my pocket. Fantastic video!

    Dave is the unspoken master of this pedal. Seeing him play the DL4 live over the years was one of the most inspiring things I've ever seen or heard. To me it was like being a teenager in the 60's seeing Hendrix use a wah pedal for the first time, I've never heard a guitarist evoke these sounds but him, in conjunction with his unique playing style and riffs of course. As a guitarist I value these real-world reviews with icons who used the gear

I had to have 2 DL 4's and two loopers in my chain and it was soooo fun.
