OutToPlayJazz Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Did all my research into looprers today & ordered the Digitech so I should have it on Wednesday. I was very taken by the new Line 6 model, apart from the fact that it is blatantly aimed at guitarists with all the same sounds and controls as my Line 6 spider III guitar amp. That and of course the price of the L6! So all you people out there with the stolid DigiTech, what do you think of them? I was thinking it'd be a great recording device with the 2GB flash card added.

Rich.[/quote] The Jamman is a great looper. The possibility of editing the loops off-line is one of the more interesting things about it. I have a Boss RC-2 that I really like but if you look for a more advanced lopper the Jamman is the way to go. Jamman: things I like - off line editing of the loops - 100 memory locations - external footswitch for up/down - mic in Jamman: things I don't like - Dedicated AC power supply - Weight Things I would like to see in the Jamman: - A progress indicator for the active loop. - Multiple loops dub (a new copy of the loop is added at the end if the dub is longer than the loop). I was seriously considering a Jamman when I wanted to buy a looper but I ended up buying the RC-2 because I can power it at 9V and it doesn't take too much space on the pedalboard. Moreover, I use it only for Jamming with myself (how sad is that!?) and try new ideas – I don’t need any advanced functionality. Potentially, the Jamman could be a digital recorder but it is mono, it weights a ton and it needs an external power supply. I think an old minidisc (I guess very cheap on eBay in these days) might be a better solution. Enjoy the Jamman it is a great device!

OutToPlayJazz Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Thanks, Silent Fly! It arrived today & oh what fun!!! Absolutely amazing. I did an 8-track overlay funky jingle bells amongst other things for a bit of a laugh. Should be really easy to use on stage as well. Will give it a try this coming weekend. Rich.

fifeq Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 anyone know if and how canI record something in reason and put it as a loop to my jamman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Reason, select the loop begin-end then use "File/Export Loop as Audio File...". The instructions in the JamMan Owner's Manual should tell you how to load the loop you just saved in the memory card. I suspect the loop needs to be converted to mono first. Before exporting to loop to audio file, you may want to write down on a piece of paper the bpm ("tempo" in Reason) and the time signature. I think it is an information that the JamMan needs in one of the files in the memory card. I hope this helps. Silent Fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
