Pedals that stack with the Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler

Ibanez Tube Screamer

The DL4's looping delay repeats don't stack gain with the Tube Screamer — run it after the pedal's own blues-forward boost for echo, not more drive.

Klon Centaur

Put the Klon ahead of the DL4 so its midrange boost feeds the delay's repeats a fuller, more saturated signal to echo.

Walrus Audio Lillian

The DL4's warm, vintage-voiced delay trails the Lillian's subtle analog phasing into a layered echo.

TC Electronic SCF Gold SE Stereo

Put the SCF after the DL4 so its stereo chorus spreads the delay's repeats wide instead of modulating a bare dry signal.

MXR Distortion+

Run the DL4 after the Distortion+ for warm, tube-voiced repeats trailing the gritty clipping, not stacked in front of it.

Cordovox EQ-7

Shape the tone with the EQ-7 before the DL4's delay, so the echoes repeat a signal that's already cut or boosted where you want it.

Dallas Rangemaster Treble Booster

Running the DL4 after the Rangemaster keeps its digital and modeled delay repeats clean of the treble booster's germanium clipping.

Dallas Tuxedo 1959

Run Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler after Dallas Tuxedo 1959 in the signal chain, clear of Dallas Tuxedo 1959's own gain stage

Ashdown James LoMenzo Mega Drive

Keep Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler after Ashdown James LoMenzo Mega Drive in the signal chain, clear of Ashdown James LoMenzo Mega Drive's own gain stage

Keeley Compressor Plus

DL4's warm, vintage-modeled repeats trail Compressor Plus's shimmering, pick-attack-controlled compression at the end of the chain.

Aguilar DB 925

Keep the DL4 after the DB 925 — the transparent treble-bass boost stays clean and the delay's warm repeats trail behind it.

Way Huge Pork Loin

Let the DL4's warm, vintage repeats trail the Pork Loin's nuanced British-blues overdrive for a classic finish.

CALIFORNIA WUB Continuum EQ

The DL4's warm, vintage-voiced delay trails the WUB's resonant, notch-filtering EQ with a precisely shaped signal to echo.

Keeley Super Phat Mod

DL4's warm, vintage-modeled repeats trail Super Phat Mod's asymmetrical clipping drive at the end of the chain.

Voodoo Lab Tremolo

Keep Voodoo Lab Tremolo's bright voice out front: Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler goes after Voodoo Lab Tremolo in the signal chain so its warm voice doesn't muddy it

Free The Tone PA-1QA Programmable 10 Band EQ

Keep the DL4 after the PA-1QA — the precise digital EQ shaping stays intact and the delay's warm, vintage-to-modern repeats trail behind it.

Electronic Audio Experiments Glaive Octave Fuzz

Run the DL4's warm, vintage-voiced repeats after the Glaive's extreme octave fuzz so the echoes trail that harmonically dense texture.

Keeley Muse Driver

DL4's warm, vintage-modeled repeats trail Muse Driver's stage-ready germanium and jfet drive at the end of the chain.

Collision Devices The Ranch

Keep Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler after Collision Devices The Ranch in the signal chain, clear of Collision Devices The Ranch's own gain stage

Electro-Harmonix Steel Leather Attack Expander

Keep Electro-Harmonix Steel Leather Attack Expander's aggressive voice out front: Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler goes after Electro-Harmonix Steel Leather Attack Expander in the signal chain so its warm voice doesn't muddy it

MXR M296 Classic 108 Fuzz Mini

Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler's warm voice goes after MXR M296 Classic 108 Fuzz Mini in the signal chain — it's not there to compete with MXR M296 Classic 108 Fuzz Mini's own silicon character

MXR 108 Fuzz

Let the DL4's warm, vintage-voiced repeats trail the 108 Fuzz's bright, cutting silicon fuzz instead of getting fuzzed themselves.

Strymon Lex V2

Put Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler after Strymon Lex V2 in the signal chain, clear of Strymon Lex V2's own gain stage

Boss GEB-7 Bass Graphic EQ

Keep Boss GEB-7 Bass Graphic EQ's clean boost voice out front: Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler goes after Boss GEB-7 Bass Graphic EQ in the signal chain so its warm voice doesn't muddy it
