The DL-4 was conceived by Greg Westall, Jeff Slingluff, and Patrick O’Connor.  The original concept was a four preset design modeled in size and shape after the BOSS CE-1. Later Jeorge Trips, who was originally hired to procure vintage pedals for study, made the suggestion that the fourth pedal be used for a built in Tap-Tempo button instead of using an external jack. The final look and feel are thanks to the work of Industrial designer Lucian Tu. [citation needed]

The engineering team for the DL-4 consisted of Michel Doidic, Nigel Redmon, and Jeff Slingluff.  All of the Sound Design was created by Jeff Slingluff including original and often imitated sounds like Sweep Echo. Towards the later stages of the DL-4 development Jeorge Trips was hired as Product Manager for the DL-4.  In addition to the concept of the built in Tap Tempo button Jeorge played a key role in spearheading the looper functionality.[citation needed]
