Features fairly comprehensive. Everything has been said about it. However, I join those who have noted that lack
- Stereo,
- MIDI handy live.

against by the memory capacity (for 6:30 for me and with a beast expansion card purchased on ebay € 8) makes this a formidable tool for Jaman play, compose, rehearse, train home. It's a bit of a guitar band mates at the request ... So, what happiness!
Material solid as a rock ... the made in china does not automatically mean stuff to m. ... proof!

UTILIZATION

So for this kind of toy, it is clear that a certain ease of use if the designer missed something. In this case, the gamble appears to me as more than successful, because without ever having used sampler / looper before, I managed to correct my first loops after half an hour ...
The settings are fairly intuitive and there is no need to fiddle about 30,000 or knob to read 400 pages to understand the operation of the machine.
Of course, one must become familiar with the concept of the loop and then master the point is pressed to start and that is stopped or that the loop is well formed.
With a little practice, it is going very well. This step is not peculiar to Jaman

SOUND QUALITY

This is undoubtedly one of the strengths of Jaman. What impeccable quality even after many overdubs, this is really perfect!
And everything goes from micro to the guitar through the synthesizer, we begin to experience the sounds, "on bjork" ...
Listed guitar, restitution is simply identical to the signal sent. We must set the volume levels and to those thinking of overdubs that we will insert later.
So I put 10 without any complex.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall, this is THE pedal I was waiting for so long, the perfect companion for the guitarist who works alone or at home When I think of all these ideas, riffs, plans that have gone into oblivion because I had nothing to keep them ... and it's over. You end up with a mini séquenseur "foot" ... happiness.
I use it for about 1 week and I already know that I do not part with it except for an enhanced version and compatible with live.
Indeed in terms of live, the lack of compatibility twelve o'clock seriously hampers the potential of live Jaman.
For me, this is not a problem for my use is another. We can say that it is used for the live if you are training small type duo or trio, but when a batter enters the set, watch out for shifts in tempo ...
I think the Jaman was not designed for live performance, evidenced by its huge memory capacity ... as for the live, there is no need to record 6:30 as it is to sample "in live "by definition ...
Therefore I put 9 because for home use or training reduced live, is a real hit.
€ 150 bought used but still under warranty, the price / quality ratio seems to me .... how to say .... exceptional!
