Digitech Jam Man

When we developed the PDS 8000 looper pedal almost twenty years ago, it stored eight seconds of audio. Now we’ve reinvented it using removable CompactFlash® memory to store up to 6.5 hours! A wide range of features combined with ease of use make the DigiTech® JamMan® the perfect looper/phrase sampler for practicing, composing, and performing.

Inputs and outputs
The JamMan is equipped with a full complement of input and output connections.

• 1/4" instrument input with level control
• XLR mic input with volume control
• 3.5mm stereo jack input for connecting line level sources such as CD and MP3 players
• 1/4" jack output for connecting to guitar amp, mixer or headphones
• 1/4" input for optional FSX footswitch
• USB port for connection to PC or Mac for archiving/transferring loops

Loop Storage
By using Compact Flash instead of volatile internal memory, the JamMan can store up to 99 loops per card with a maximun recording time of 6-and-a-half hours (depending on card capacity).

The built-in USB port connects to your computer with true plug-and-play ease and allowing you to archive your existing loops and transfer easily between JamMan and computer. There's no need to ever delete your music!

Recording/Overdubbing
Loops can be recorded from any of the inputs and unlimited overdubs can be recorded on each loop. Overdubs can be erased and there is one level of undo/redo.

The Auxiliary input features three extra modes. Centre Cancel - for removing vocals from recordings, Full Range simulation - where an eq curve is applied to allow recorded material to be played back through a guitar amp while still sounding natural , or a combination of both.

Recording from any input can be started manually, or using the Auto Record feature, will start as soon as you start playing. Once recorded a phrase can be set to infinite (loop) or one-time playback.

Tempo/metronome
A metronome (rhythm) fuction is built into the JamMan with user adjustable tempo and time signature and 9 sounds.

Tempo can be set by tapping the footswitch and loops will automatically speed up or slow down to match the tempo without changing the pitch. Tempo and time signature can be saved with each loop.
