    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

    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.
