Line 6 is NOT RESPONSIBLE for freight damage due to insufficient packaging. End users are 100% responsible for protecting their gear in transit. Who pays for the freight?

See the contact information above to reach Customer Service, and always have your RMA number ready. How long will it take to complete the repair? Repair time varies based on a number of factors such as parts availability, your place in the repair queue, etc., but we strive to provide a maximum three-week turnaround (not including shipping time). If we determine that your unit needs to be replaced, the turnaround time is typically a bit shorter. How will I get my unit back? Line 6 uses UPS ground for U.S. return requests. The shipping time is 5-7 days (not including processing time). What if I don't live in the U.S.? Product warranty is only good in the country/region of purchase. So if you bought your unit in France, the warranty is only valid in France. If you bought your unit in a country other than the U.S. and wish to get the unit repaired in the U.S., you will have to pay for the repair at an authorized Line 6 Service Center.

Important Warranty Information! Please be aware that your Line 6 product’s warranty is only valid in the region where you purchased your unit. For instance, if you live in Brazil, but buy your unit from a U.S.-based retailer, then you must have warranty repairs performed in the U.S., meaning you must ship it there. Otherwise, you’d have to pay to have it repaired closer to home. Prices for parts and repairs are set by the independent service center, and they reserve the right to choose what they repair. If you live outside the U.S., you should be interacting with the distributor for the country/territory that you live in. The distributor for your country/territory sets the warranty period and its rules according to local law. It is for this reason that Line 6 recommends that you always buy your unit locally. Distributors can be found at http://line6.com/find/distributor/. You will need to present your original, dated proof of purchase to have any warranty work performed at any Line 6 Authorized Service Center for repair. FAQs Q: Where can I read your warranty? A.

Q: Do I get a warranty if I bought a unit from eBay? A: If you purchase a Line 6 product sold as New from an authorized Line 6 retailer with an online storefront, the standard factory warranty applies as if it were purchased in a physical store. Please contact us if you want to verify if an online retailer is authorized to sell our products. If you purchase a Used/Demo/Blemished unit from an individual or a retailer either in a store or online, you do so at your own risk with no warranty offered by Line 6, unless the seller includes a copy of the original receipt to transfer any still-effective warranty to you.

If you are having trouble with your DL-4 MkII stompbox modeler, please try the following: - Use a different guitar, cables, and amp to make sure they are individually working correctly. - Remove all other pedals between your instrument and the amplifier. Ensure that: - The cables you are using to test work correctly by plugging directly from the instrument into the amplifier. - All jacks and nuts on the pedal are tight. - The unit is receiving sufficient power from the correct power supply (fresh batteries or a Line 6 DC-3g, DC-3h or DC-1g). Do not use old batteries to test pedals. - Reset the pedal by pressing the A and 'Tap' footswitches while inserting the power connector and powering on. Continue to hold the switches for approximately 8 seconds, until you see the green LEDs light up. - The last thing to try is to reinstall the firmware. Go to https://line6.com/software/index.html, choose "DL4 MkII" and "Firmware" from the menus, then follow the directions listed with the latest firmware entry. If you are still having difficulty you will need to have the unit repaired at an Authorized Service Center. All Line 6 Pedals carry a 12 month parts and labor warranty from the date of purchase from an Authorized Retailer. Please take a copy of the dated proof of purchase to ensure the warranty is covered.

Q: Is Biasing covered under warranty? A: Typically not. It should be considered as part of the routine maintenance in keeping your amplifier at its peak performance. However, if re-biasing is required as part of other warranty service, it will be covered under the warranty policy. Q: My tubes are not working (i.e. not lighting up, no output, etc). A: Check the following: Make sure the tube is firmly seated in the tube socket Other tube situations: My tubes make a popping sound accompanied by intermittent light from tubes - the tube is failing and needs to be replaced. The appearance of 'white frost' inside the tube - the tube has cracked and it must be replaced. General Guideline for Replacing Tubes: Always replace power amp tubes with matched set(s) every 12-24 months depending on the amount of use, and have the bias checked and/ or adjusted by an Authorized Line 6 Service Center. Preamp tubes (such as the two 12AX7s) only need to be replaced when they are microphonic (ringing sound from tubes when tapped), noisy, or damaged.
