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

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...

@@icecreamforcrowhurst A lot of people in their 20s & 30s have been inspired by the math rock playing in his band Minus the Bear. His earlier band Botch was hugely influential as well for metalcore. Even today guitarists are strongly influenced by his approach in that band from the 90s.

Love Minus The Bear so damn much!!! Please just have them all demo different things for you in your videos, and I’ll be your best friend forever!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Maaan I listened to them so0o much back in '08, and then a decade later in summer '18 I finally went to their show by myself and was absolutely engulfed by the nostalgia... 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! (Although I think I'm just gonna stick with my little MXR Carbon Copy for now, lol)
One of the most underrated guitarists of the last 25 years.
Playing a Millimetric?! Awesome man. Love mine!
Well this gives an answer to the rumors that have been swirling around the last couple of months of a MKII. Sounds great!
I am here for any new music this man plays guitar on. I love the sound he is able to achieve with this pedal, and I’m excited to hear they have a new model coming out! Thank you David, Line 6, and Reverb!
This man is an icon. Got to stand right in front of him twice having my mind blown with his pedal work and creativity.
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
The perfect guitar pedal demo doesn’t exi……………
The minute I saw this pedal I thought of Dave. Amazing to see him demo it!
Dave is one of my guitar heroes. What a skilled man!

Can’t wait for mine! Best looking offset I ever saw. So glad I got my order in before Florian explodes as a builder.
David is one of the true GOATs when it comes to demoing the DL4 Mk II. Well done, Reverb, well done.
Dave is such a legend!
I remember seeing the mkII announced and instantly thinking about david knudson; here we are lol great!
Wise marketing move to get David to demo it, swaying everyone to pick up at least two of them
Love this! Great job Dave!
The one guy that made me get a DL4. This guy is like the modern version of Robert Fripp. Also, I love that playthrough of “knights”.
You, sir- are a sight for sore eyes. Can’t wait for the album!
this is the video that got me to check out MTB. seeing him play Knights blew me away. these are the type of musicians who really inspire me to get experimental
Dave is so awesome, love absolutely everything he's done.
Dave is such an inspiration. Thanks for this.
The only person who knows more about what the DL4 can do than it's own creators.
The only person on Earth fully qualified to demonstrate this product. Love it. That later loop starting around 9m45s is super reminiscent of Gay Sons of Lesbian Mothers by Kaki King

Holy cow reverb channel is awesome This is a great review
FM4 next with Justin Pearson demoing it.
Dave does not get enough credit man! He is an inspiration
Love Bosch and Minus the bear!!! This new riff reminds me of a group called the mercury program. Into it!!
One of the coolest things I’ve ever witnessed was MTB in concert and the band stopped playing, just to allow the loop pedals to continuing playing without them. As someone who has messed with loopers for a long time, this is not easy for timing purposes alone
My god I get goosebumps when I hear him play, I can’t tell you how much this guy inspired me to play
This video made my heart happy That man is incredibly talented Oh and the new pedal set up is stunning
Great demo and that is the cat that you want to review the DL4 MKII!! Also, that Millimetric guitar is killer.
Awesome demo. It'll be fun to see what Ed O'Brien does with this new model as well.
Excellent!!!! Classic pedal that brings back so many memories of the sonic evolutions of the time.
Knights brings me back to touring with MTB and KICKING myself for not taking more notes. Great to see Dave again being so incredible.
There's no better person to demo this new DL4 other than him! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Finally someone has added an XLR input. My previous choices were a Boss RC that only had a 1/4 mic input or the Jamman I found used that crapped out. I was excited just to see a new DL4, the XLR input has me scrambling to sell old pedals so i can get it
That twin reverb looks ready to blow the roof off the place!
Our band did a cover set of Minus the Bear on New Years Eve like 4 years ago and I had the super fun task of figuring out and learning all of Dave's parts. It was fun as fuck! I had to have 2 DL 4's and two loopers in my chain and it was soooo fun. Such a clutch move with the SD card so you can save your loops on the DL4 instead of having to save them on a looper down the line in your chain.
They got the ultimate DL4 guy to demo it on the announcement day 🤘 super awesome. Now I'm gonna need to save my pennies to get one
REMAKE THE WHOLE LINEUP OF THESE PLEASE. FM4 REMAKE OMG
Dave is the king of the dl4 so rad that they tapped him for this.
He's just amazing. King of DL4 pedals.
Wow, have yet to check out Minus the Bear but this is the perfect guy to demo this thing! Saving my pennies...
This is what wanted to see, The Master
Great demo. Would love to hear him do Transitions from Persona to Object with it too 🙏
I was just about the old dl4 but I'm gonna definitely get this instead!
This is awesome 👏🏼
The best guy to demo this thing.
Good job getting the master
Can’t Wait!
YES. This is incredible. Ready for the Nick Reinhart demo now.
As soon as I saw the DL4 MKII I hoped for somebody to make Dave demo it. Who better than him can do this pedal justice?
I'm excited to hear the patch named after my friend who worked on the pedal, lol... the Adriatic.
genuinely when this was announced i thought it was a meme or something idk. but i’m sooo happy this is real
I hope the quality of the chassis and foot switches will hold up over time.
Just bought one.. You got me! 🙀
So, new DL4 means MTB reunion and like 6 more albums right?
Dang that demo at 3:26 got me emotional haha
Hello, does anyone know if you can mark the tap tempo with the effect off?
Oh my god, Dave has a Millimetric!
ahhh the nostalgia
What is DK's signal chain? Is it bottom right DL4 MkII into the bottom left DL4 MkII then into the old DL4 at the top right? Are the 3 distortion pedals at the beginning?
Can the MIDI sync the loops to other gear? Like the TC ditto x4? Or hologram microcosm?
I’m trying to use the MK2 tap tempo without the time stretch effect whenever I’m changing the tempo. Like it was in the old DL4. Please help!
Holy cow y'all
If they're playing the nostalgia angle and making a new bean shaped POD, I'm all in...
did they solve the volume dip issue?
Anyone know what the name of the keyboard that is on the X stand behind David? Can't tell if that's a synth or a MIDI controller.
Well I’m sold
Watching the Knights loop is fucking fantastic!!!!
Not even super familiar with his band and this guy is just such a great player. Mine will be here in a few days. I can't find wait.
Hello ..question ; does the DL4 MkII have delay and reverb spillover when switching presets?
Delay on output A, shimmer reverb on output B, is that possible with the DL4 mk2?
Come on Dave give us more MTB
Amazinggg
Are all of these sounds in the HX Stomp?
the OG loop daddy
Can you turn trails on when switching BETWEEN presets?
I like your original grey guitar. Which brand is it? Great demo indeed!!
3:25 so good. Is that from an MtB song? I always was a bigger fan of Botch and didnt know MtBs catalog as well
This guy (Botch years) has probably influenced me more than any other guitarist
hope that Thomas Erak and Nick Reinhart will demo this one too
