All user reviews for the Line 6 JM4 Looper

In terms of pure characteristics is simply excellent:
A good idea to combine a looper and a multi-purpose simulator, amp etc.. work at home for what could be better? you plug this thing and just magic!
It's really very complete and we expect something excellent: adjustable microphone input, auxiliary input for an audio source, an instrument more (bass, keyboard, second guitar) and a main entrance dedicated to the guitar. MP3 input, headphone amplifier, stereo etc..
Brief foot.

Still flat the footswitches are plastic ... so that the case inspires confidence .. I had an X3 live recently. One of the plastic footswitch broke ... It's a pedal off for serious if we do a lot of scenes, rehearsals etc. ..

UTILIZATION

Overall, it's not complicated to use.
The downside for me is setting effects remains limited. The manual is quite clear.

THE looper does what you ask is well ...

The ergonomics are just right.

SOUND QUALITY

Where the expectations soar ...
The pre-recorded tracks are all excellent simpele to play along. Quality recording studio! brilliant!
we say: I'll have fun hua with that, too nice ..
Yes, but then, what disappointments!

The quality of the bypass is more than mediocre, it's absolutely terrible! My stratocaster loses its glitter, its clarity. The sound is not at all energetic and alive! it sounds like cardboard ... never mind ... humpf try the amp simulations ...

Ouch ... It still lacks treble, the sound is synthetic, it does not sing .. Phew big disappointment. The dynamic is absolutely nonexistent. Yet I have owned a X3 still sounded much much better.

The effects are just horrible .. it simplemtn the carnage! metal to perfection, never natural cherry is that we can not even "catch up" since they are not really customizable.

Play along the tracks pre-recorded studio quality quickly becomes very discouraging.
After I tried it with a Start with a Gibson SG, saying it would be better. Naive.

I tried to finish with a bass: Warwick Fortress One. Although there are not even count. The looper does not know the frequencies below a 100 hertz. result you can always push the bass on the preamp in the bass, you'll never ... I even tried to connect a SansAmp Para Driver to catch everything. Same result for the bass. Only for the guitar that it gets better slightly.

The character known to growl Warwicks no longer exists. The amp models are not dedicated to bass, he can not get better than its cardboard worthy of a multi-purpose unnamed 30 euro bought second hand.

It's absolutely disappointing

OVERALL OPINION

If you like the sound of your instrument, especially do not buy this "thing". So attractive at first, yet it is the worst purchase I have done in music.

There are only recorded tracks that are great. all the money in development of the pedal is spent in studio recording sessions with artists ... we pay a high price for the toy.

If you can test it, go ahead, you'll be disappointed, but do not buy. Watch more on the side of Boss and Digitech. These two brands are certainly not pre-registered pattern excellent but it does not sound like puff the fact that JM4.
I never redeem a looper designed by line6 .. almost 300 euros in the trash, what am I stupid!

Everything is already said

UTILIZATION

A boy of 8 years would arrive safely in less than an hour.

SOUND QUALITY

For me, the hair!
I'm not a pro, so I agree a pod XT Live or X3 is more successful at this level but my JM4 enough for me. At the top

OVERALL OPINION

this toy! LINE 6 BRAVO!

I sell mine, not because I do not want it but because I need money to buy a Pod Studio KB37 ... what you notice are uses completely different ... hence the great regret ... but I do not know what else to sell to recover funds without farting my life budgets.

Go have a look at my ad, there's lil 'more significant to begin with full equipped

The Line 6 JM4 is a loop and delay foot pedal that is designed for use with any electronic instrument, and also has the capability to be used with a microphone.  Since the pedal has an XLR input for a microphone you can use it for singing and do some pretty awesome overall.  In addition to the XLR input, it also has a variety of 1/4 inch connections for inputs and outputs.  It is a digital pedal that isn't rackable because it is a foot pedal.

UTILIZATION

Using the Line 6 JM4 for its basic features isn't too hard at all, but diving deeper will take some time simply because there is so much that you can do with this pedal.  For starters, you have the parameters to control your tone including knobs for amp modeling, drive, bass, mid, treble, as well as effects like chorus, flanger, phaser, and tremolo and different types of delays like tape echo and sweep echo, which are two of my favorite modes found on the Line 6 DL4 delay pedal.  In addition to these tone parameters, you then have all of the controls for recording and looping your sounds, which are in digital form and can take some time to understand everything that it going on, but is fairly simply to do basic recording and looping.  The manual is helpful and is definitely worth having around if you are trying to learn everything about this pedal.


SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality of the Line 6 JM4 is pretty good overall.  While it does sound good in terms of the recording and the playback as it won't color the tone too much other than how you set the parameters, the effects sounds like they are digitally processed, which of course they are.  They aren't all that realistic, so I tend not to use them that much because I have other pedals that I can use if I want other effects, so I really only use this pedal for looping, recording, and storing.


OVERALL OPINION

If you are someone who loves to loop things and play around by playing over things you have prerecorded, this pedal is for you.  The price is reasonable as it is about the same price of the other pedals in this line.  While you get a taste of the looper on the DL4, this pedal has infinitely more capabilities in terms of the time that you can record and the amount of information that you can store.  I love having the capability to record all of my ideas and play off of them within a single pedal as I find it great for coming up with ideas.  While there are a bunch of similar types of pedals out there, the Line 6 JM4 is put together well and I would definitely recommend checking it out along with some of the other loopers out there on the market like the ones made by Digitech and Boss.
