MGR/Matt « Line 6 Dm4 Distortion Modeler »
Published on 11/30/01 at 15:00I paid $250 for this pedal. I am usually opposed to buying and dislike multi-fx processers, but I knew that this one was different. I was originally going to buy a Marshall blues pedal and another Boss single effect pedal, but I fell in love with this as soon as I played it. I paid $250 for the pedal, $20 for the power supply, and $50 for the expression pedal.
I like this unit because it fit the kinds of music I played (mostly Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin and a bunch of older stuff). I like this because there is pretty much a distortion type for every band and song you can imagine. You can also adjust the levels of drive, volume, and more to each of the types. If you want a clean sound, you can still use this pedal. There is a clean sound, so you adjust the settings, and you can use the expression pedal as a volume pedal.
What I dislike is that you can't really switch the types while performing. I mean you can, and I suppose you can maneuver your foot, put it really is a pain to turn the little dial. I guess if you're not wearing shoes, it would be easier, but I just use my fingers to change it. This really can get crazy when you're playing live though.
This is a solid unit. The construction is very good. I treat my pedal with lots of care, but I suppose it could withstand a lot. I never dropped it, but I'm sure it would be fine. I've never had a problem with this. The finish is really nice (gold) and I wouldn't trade this thing in for anything. This almost looks as sharp as it plays.
I think this is a great unit. I would definately buy another if I lost this. This helps me cover basically anything I want or write cirtually whatever I want. The dials for each sound type will let you cover basically any sound. These endless amounts of sounds mean that any sound can be imitated or created. The expression pedal can be used to warp between sounds, and sometimes I even use it as a volume pedal. The power supply means I don't constantly burn through batteries; trust me, I use this A LOT.
Bottom Line- I love my pedal. Cheers to Line 6!
