I had one back in the day and really liked it. It's clearly a full generation the latest stuff from Strymon et al, but it's a good sounding delay with a really really simple interface and a good looper.
Downsides are unspectacular A/D conversion and iirc slightly crappy bypass if you don't have it in true bypass mode. It's also quite big and is a bit finicky on power requirements.

Sells Helix
Sells two classic modern delays: Echoplex and Timeline
Buys 85 yr old Line 6 tech: Dl4
Ladies and gentleman, I present to you the GAS journey of the one and only @Wazmeister !
Ps. It's exactly the kind of thing that I would do too...

It was listening to Minus the Bear a lot as a teenager that made me see how interesting they could be.
I saw this article recently which made me want to get one again:

(P.S. if anyone is selling one, let me know...)
I think the dl4 has a pre amp in it
@impmann knows his dl4 pretty well
Apart from the well worn noise about the switch plungers on the early ones (which was fixed by the upgrade), they are bulletproof. I don’t have access to the database any more but the return rate on these was negligible. There’s a reason why Line6 sold so many - they genuinely sound great.
Oh and the whole ‘generation behind Strymon’ thing....? Er maybe on paper but I prefer the sound of the DL4 to any Strymon but that’s preference. I’m not a Strymon fan - emperors new clothes imho.
But there's a reason the DL4 found its way onto basically everybody's board in the early 2000's - it's bloody good pedal.
