Digitech JML2 Jam Man Stereo Looper Delay Pedal

What sets this looper apart from all others is the memory. The fact that you can save 99 loops on an sd card that inserts inside the looper is a great feature. I don't know why other manufacturers have not done something similar. I really think Roland missed the boat on this. I put backing tracks on this thing and used it in live performances. Some of the backing tracks were 5 minutes long. The longest song I put into the looper was 7 minutes long. I also use it when I teach music. As I go over and teach scale patterns, I have corresponding backing tracks loaded on an SD card. It is pretty easy to change out the SD card. Just switch to the internal memory and switch out the card. It also does all the standard looper stuff you come to expect from a looper. It has built-in percussion too. Stereo in and out means it is great to use with keyboards too. rugged and tuff this is an awesome looper.

The device is great - I run 2 jacks out of my guitar (neck and bridge pickups through my normal guitar pedals, and a middle pickup that runs through an octave pedal for bass tone). I'm able to run both lines into and out of the looper to separate amps, which is great. It's EXTREMELY easy to use right out of the box, and has most features you'd want, and a few that are nice bonuses (fade out, reverse, stop when loop finished, etc.). Originally, I was going to get the Boss RC-30. Over and above the JM, the Boss has 2 tracks, phantom power for the mic input, a higher output (1000k vs. 500k, i think), and some (imho, really pointless) effects. The Boss is tougher to figure out - e.g., fade out can only be done to a saved loop (meaning you have to stop the loop, save it, program it, play it again - not good for on-the-fly). You also have to double tap the pedals for certain things (loop up or down, undo, etc.). The boss effects are useless to me, and the one I might have used (reverse) is no longer available on that model. Honestly, I went for quality over quantity here - more stuff doesn't always mean better, and the jamman has everything you'd need in a much easier to use box. While the Boss has 3 hours storage, the Jamman has 35min (which really is more than enough, trust me), but has the expander slot with a standard SD card for up to 16hours. The sound quality is good until you get up there in phrases (typical for most loopers), but that's a high number - if you have that many phrases, you should just get a backing band or a looper with 4 or more tracks ;-). Things I'd like to see: the external footswitch should still have the option to loop up or down (with this model, the switch will undo, reverse or tap tempo only). While there's a loop up and loop down switch right on the JM, I'd like to leave the JM on my pedal board and have the external switch over by my drum kit so I can move a loop up or down while on the kit. I also wish there were more tracks (actually, if it'd had 2 tracks, I wouldn't have even considered the boss at all), or the ability to move through phrases within the loop (right now, you can undo and redo a phrase over the initial loop, but you can't move through each one). Another wish: If I were to record one measure, it would be nice to extend that one measure to 2 or more measures. Overall - it's a great device, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a looper for practice, sampling, or simple live (like, one or 2 loops for backup vocal or rhythm guitar lines) purposes. I deducted a star for the lack of features I mentioned above. features like that could allow one to grow to more advanced levels with the Jamman.

If you came here looking specifically for one of these, you really don't need a review. It is DEFINITELY the best pedal for the price in pedal looping technology. There are bigger and better ways to loop, but the cost and difficulty is reflected. I have used a BOSS RC-20 for many years and it definitely did the job but the technology has gotten better. Examples would be: stereo outputs, recording length, different record modes, different playback modes, on board memory, micro disk memory...etc. The BOSS RC-50 is the mack daddy pedal but I don't want to have to think that much. But seeing someone master it is highly impressive. So I decided on the JML2 for ease of use and price. Enjoy...

Incredible for a one man band, simple to learn easy to record and built like a tank. My only negative is the JamManger software that is provided to upload samples has a terrible user interface (UX). You may never need it, but if you do it will take some time to get it to do what you need. Great for practicing and live performances.

I have owned the Jam Man Stereo pedal about 3 years and had to add a positive review for this great looper. I may ramble a bit here but if you are considering a looper you may find this useful… The jam man is intuitive and easy to use. It is easy to record then add many layers or parts to the loop. Unlike most other systems it is easily go up or down to access loops using foot switches. It is simple to save then copy the loop to another location to add other instruments, vocals, or parts. You can quite easily record the verse of your song on one track, the chorus on the next, and the lead on still another. After doing this it is easy to select the loop you wish. When you select the next loop, while playing, the selected loop waits for the current loop to finishes then automatically begins. Loops are easily stored to the computer as well. To save or write each loop you must use your hands to push the button. A seller on ebay sells a very clever device that easily and securely snaps onto the Jam Man which makes it easy to use your feet to write or save your work with a foot control. The four star review is due to the somewhat poor sound quality. The sound quality may not equal more expensive systems but it is much easier to use to record tracks. Because of the ease of use, cost, customer support, and foot switch controls I prefer the Jam Man Stereo over choices available. I would recommend the Jam Man to guitar or keyboard players.

Works well. The stomp buttons are loud. NO BYPASS? I had no idea that in todays world someone would make a pedal with no bypass and no way to turn on and off. You have to remove it from the loop when you don't want to use it. No thanks.

ルーパーペダルとしては、非常に優秀です。機能・操作性ともに、わかりやすくできています。ipod等のオーディオ端子が外部入力ができ、それをループとして、サンプリングすることができます。右下のスイッチを２回たたくと、そのテンポでドラムが鳴ります。 USBでPCに接続できますが、それは基本的に使えない機能と考えてよいと思います。海外のレビューで多くある通りです。保存したループをパソコンで認識させるためには、専門のソフトウェアJammanagerが必要ですが、そのソフトウェアは、ほとんどのパソコンで起動しません。 「USBでPCに接続可能」という点は無視してよいと個人的には思います。ギターのループでのパフォーマンスや練習という点では、非常に優秀です。

Muy fácil su manejo y muy útil para que un solo músico pueda superponer varias líneas en directo acompañándose a sí mismo.

Juste nickel, grosse base de données sans avoir à rajouter de carte mémoire , se branche directement sur le pc pour extraire facilement les loops en wav Les différents paramètres fonctionnent bien comme l'autorec ou l'overdub Un super outil pour composer ou jouer seul avec la boîte à rythme basique incluse (donne juste les temps mais c'est déjà bien pour se caler)

Leider für mich etwas zu kompliziert und weit "besser" als ich ihn brauchte, dieser Looper. Der Verkäufer ist nett, kommunikativ und absolut zu empfehlen !

well worth it, very pleased
