All user reviews for the DigiTech JamMan

Features available on the net. The basic grip is very simple and intuitive and you get to play right away. Afterwards for a tempo adjusted, etc., reading the manual is necessary. The SD card I had when I got it was 256 MB, more than enough to qqun who wants small loops: mine are about 40 that lasted between 10sec and 5min.
USB port for connecting to the PC and music software (garage band for me). The loops are exported in WAV format.
The whole is robust and over-size, relatively heavy.

UTILIZATION

See above.
Sometimes a little painful when you want to add a layer on a loop or remove one, a false manipulation foot and you end up with an entire loop to be redone.
Basically to make the rounds of all the opportunities and manage it, it takes time and patience!

SOUND QUALITY

Excellent sound quality, I use it with bass, digital piano, a microphone, and drums with effects of the piano. CD quality 44.1 kHz, no breath.


OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years now and it does not move very fast to implement, relatively simple configuration and intuitive, though rather more expensive to buy (a BOSS pedal), but largely offset by the reliability .
I repeat the same without hesitation!

Without dwelling on the characteristics of the JamMan, in my opinion one of the strengths of it is virtually unlimited recording capacity. With a 1 GB card, you can see coming.

The negative point for my use is the lack of MIDI connection that could be useful to synchronize the JamMan with other instruments. (It is virtually impossible to synchronize a loop with a rhythm on a drum machine without shifts).

UTILIZATION

Rather easy to use (you still have the manual).


SOUND QUALITY

Good sound quality.
Maybe in stereo, it would have been better (though the guitars are mono, some stereo effects).

OVERALL OPINION

I bought two years ago in the USA.
I used it often as a notepad to record ideas riff that went through my head.
However, I can not use it for other purposes mainly because of timing problem.
Although

This is a looper, a machine loops, a curling iron guitarists )... Digital is (obviously) but without coloring the sound that gives it to loop and loop stacking not pose any concern, no loss of volume or quality ...
The big advantage compared to equivalent Boss is its memory capacity (SD card) and the ability to edit, save and make loops. wav format directly on a computer connected via USB ... I'm not a star of computer music but I really understood everything

UTILIZATION

relatively simple configuration, although complete ... its use still requires a learning time for it to become easy and the machine again become a tool, an extension of the game .. the manual is particularly inbuvable but it passes easily ...

SOUND QUALITY

Very efficient, very realistic, as stated above, even a big stack does not generate a loss of volume or quality. it is in last place on my pedalboard, direct to the amp ...

OVERALL OPINION

I bought secondhand there are now 2 or 3 years and my only regret about it is not having bought earlier ... it is both a great sketchbook that keeps planes on hand, which can work rhythm, solos, of course, play with the loops (I'm a fan of Terry Riley, Steve Reich and many other sonic explorers ... take a listen Violin Phase, and you know what I mean ...

Is it necessary to revisit the Jamman ... effects ... it's simple! You put stuff in and reproduces them in ca CD quality! All in real time and 80 layers thick!

The only real problem is the impossibility of separating his right and his treaty with the jamman .. For example, the input of a guitar amp is a tanned because if you loop a rhythm and you swing over after a solo ... we really need a potato crazy to hear the solo on top! Solution, use a stereo volume pedal output of Jamman! Remove the console Jamman! Lower the Ped. Flight and presto! Voila, the second channel on the amp out darling of your choice!
See the pretty picture attached! (My did it, there copyright!)

UTILIZATION

The config is simple, but you really have to look seriously at the high input / output and the right mix site because without addressing precisely these details, it turns to disaster!
I would strongly advise you to buy the FS3X same time because in live use, it BLI O GA TORY! No change in patches without contortions possible otherwise.
The manual is clear, the resources on the Internet are even more and if necessary, contact M or KT Tunstall, they let go of being live!

SOUND QUALITY

"Effects" ... THE effect is ultra clean, so I plug in a microphone singing it to take either the noise or the percussion is bullshit and whatever happens, it works!

OVERALL OPINION

I tried the other junk BOSS and incomprehensible ... there is cash, direct, intuitive what! It takes time to tame the thing but once we're at it ... this gun!
Used guitar duo or vocal group 4 Bass / Batt / Gtr / Vocals gun as if it has not dented the drummer 5 liters of booze before and it remains in the "click"!
Basically, do not waste time if you are looking for a looper, this is THE machine for you!

NB: to girls, it's another thing a guitarist! It allows you to blow up the grave before recording a solo gig and monstrous to put a second live over! Ramjam replay .. imagine the lines of 2 / 3 guitars that you'd play ... alone! If you not bring with it is that you have planted no patch! What the people demand

For options, I let you go to the Digitech website ...

The CompactFlash is nice to manage its sounds from the computer! This is not a rack model of course, but I installed it as such and I control all access from my (I'm now in position on / off.

I blame the small blast when you push a little gain on the instruments of knob JamMan.

Jack and XLR connectors classic!

UTILIZATION

General configuration very simple, it is explained on the back of the JamMan so simple and effective. The manual complements and is very clear too.
The rest is very intuitive.

SOUND QUALITY

Yes yes yes ...

And I use with my guitar!

OVERALL OPINION

I use the JamMan for 3 years now. I have not tested other models that I hesitated at first with competition from Akai and Boss with RC2.

I do not regret my purchase.

What I like most: affordable, easy to use.
What I like least: the breath as you push the gain knob

I do it again this election, the JamMan is time to present the reference in the looper pedal.

Given the characteristics that have already been widely commented on, I put him 7:

Many adjustment possibilities, however, lacks MIDI sync, stereo, bypass transparent output loop fading, and the original footswich to navigate between loops. For the rest, it's more than perfect.

UTILIZATION

Is his strong point: easy to use, it comes easily to do whatever we want ... with a little practice, however! Especially when started, should be well established. But as soon as it has in hand is a pure joy! Definitely the best on this point in its category.

Having to calculate battery hair two seconds to remove the layers is not obvious, it would have been better if the delay is geared to the tempo, for example, it would have been more ergonomic.

I put 9 (though I used to be severe)

SOUND QUALITY

On this point, I do not agree with most of the review: I can not find the sound quality on the loops and even the input signal is significantly distorted sound, simply do the test with an A / B box to realize.

I must say that I use a Fender guitar, an amp on the same mark, a couple who is renowned for the purity of clean sounds, which makes the effect even more embarrassing.

The Jamman cut myself a little momentum in the acute and especially I added a little grain, a light saturation (without the LED clipping lights of course!). When I do not use it, I have to bypass a switch loop.

But the effect is slight, probably only detectable by the musician, so it does not Jamman useless, far from it! I'll put him 5, it is average, but could do better.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about a year I'm having more and more with it, it opens great doors creativity level, can have fun like a little mad himself, is very useful for keeping track of its moments of dazzling creativity, can be used to make your own backing tracks, ...

One of the few products with which you say "that one, I'm sure I'll never part."

However, may do better on transparency, so I put a big 9.

This pedal can be recorded and loops. It may sound out of its product or accumulated on a PC audio format. Possibility of registered guitar, bass, vocals and other instruments if any possibility of connection. 3 starters, mini jack, jack, and XLR. The output jack allows listening to that sort of effects pedal by plugging into an amp.
The model comes only pedal is not rack mountable.
The little hick is the memory card very very small. Otherwise it takes some getting used to the equipment, not much of a button, but much to do.

UTILIZATION

The manual helps a lot at first. When taken in hand, one quickly gets used to functioning.


SOUND QUALITY

I use the pedal with bass guitar and composition, with the click modular integrated. The sound is very correct, a group that will play very very cleanly ^ able to the limits used to make a demo recording. I

OVERALL OPINION

uses Fasson-time for Boss music at home, but its use can go much further. To repeat it in the studio, and even live without any problem.
I have no cons by point of comparison, since I tried I adpots.
It is very handy little robust, only small inconveniant must ressere the nut came quite frequently.
The value for money was right for me, I bought a reasonably priced gift features a pedal suits me amply.

everything has been said before!


UTILIZATION

Use is really intuitive.le manual in English is understandable.
it is easily detected on the pedals and buttons, and use is logical, because the number of features of the machine is not astronomical!
a looper to recommend technology for the disabled like me!

SOUND QUALITY

Sounds are nickels. there is a perfect similarity between its incoming and outgoing audio looper. overdubs can be the temptation is great for guitarists!
on the other hand, I did not appreciate the sounds of the drum. I find them too artificial and ultimately "nasty", so that I never use them as a basis for rhythmic train simple example ... a basic metronome sound is more bearable in the long run, but it is a personal opinion!

OVERALL OPINION

I have not tried other loopers before, but I think it is a robust creature that has a good value for money. I would do without hesitation that choice!

The DigiTech JamMan is a looper pedal designed for players who want to sample and loop parts over each other. It is a digital unit that provides a great deal of control over what you can do. While most people use it for guitar, in addition to 1/4 inch connections it has an XLR mic input as well for vocals. It also has a USB port and is powered by the power supply that comes with it. It isn't a rack mountable piece of gear as it is a foot pedal.

UTILIZATION

The configuration of the DigiTech JamMan isn't too hard to understand and figure out, although there are a lot of features available. The pedal has knobs for loop level, rhythm level, mic level, and instrument level, as well as a slew of buttons for various controls. It has two separate foot switches - one for recording and overdubbing and one for stop and tempo tapping. While this isn't the simplest pedal to use, its vast array of parameters make it a versatile pedal that contains a ton of great features. The manual for this pedal is thorough and is a good idea to have if you are new to this type of pedal.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound of the DigiTech JamMan is fine and suitable for what it does. It will portray your samples accurately and with the same sound quality that they are played at. I've used this pedal both with electric guitar and a microphone and I'm always happy with the way things turn out. While the direct and instrument inputs will record at a much higher quality than microphone, all of the recording possible with this pedal sounds pretty good.

OVERALL OPINION

I've only had the DigiTech JamMan for about six months, but I've been very happy with it since I've had it. I love recording and looping parts over each other as its not only a cool and interesting thing to do, but helps me to write and get ideas for songs. The price of the DigiTech JamMan isn't cheap, but if you are someone who loves to loop things and will use it a lot I believe its worth the price for the serious player. This is one of the best looping pedals I've seen and used out there as I like it better than the Boss looper. I highly recommended giving this pedal a try if you are big into guitar sampling and looping.
