Line 6 DL4 DL-4 DL4 D.I.Y. Footswitch Replacement Tutorial Video by Juffage

ATTN! IF THIS VIDEO HAS HELPED YOU, PLEASE BUY SOME MUSIC: http://www.juffage.com/ Here is a D.I.Y. tutorial video on how to make your Line 6 DL-4 or any other 4 button Line 6 pedal (such as the DM-4, MM-4, FM-4 and AM-4) operate more efficiently. This mod can be done on any 4-button line 6 pedal, as they are all identical except for the EPROM chip inside. Once completed, your pedal will function the way most companies who build effects manufacture their pedals to begin with, using an actual footswitch that's been soldered in to the board. Line 6 uses chooses to use tactile footswitches instead as it probably saves about 10 cents in labour for each pedal the produce. For them (like any other major corporation), it's all about the bottom line. Once, I actually called Line 6's technical support to tell them of my perils and the guy on the other end basically said "well if it's not under warranty anymore than too bad buddy!" If you have been having trouble with your DL-4's footswitches lately, this mod is something I'd highly recommend. This is the second DL-4 I have repaired in this way. The first one I fixed about five months ago, went from being completely unusable to working better than it did when it came NEW from the box. I simply rely on these things too heavily during my shows for them to only work "most" of the time. I also have broken at least 4 of these things on tour and became fed up with buying new ones. Thus, I decided to take matters in to my own hands and I sure am glad I did. This fix worked so well I had to share it with the world... DISCLAIMER: If you choose to follow the instructions in this video you are doing so at your own risk. In no way will I be held accountable if you complete destroy your pedal. However, if it's already broken what have you got to lose?
