About the DigiTech JamMan Stereo Looper JML2 Performance Loop Pedal
When DigiTech developed the PDS 8000 looper pedal over twenty years ago, it looped eight seconds of audio. When they reinvented loopers in 2005 with the original JamMan(r), over 6 hours worth of material could be stored on a removable media card. Now, DigiTech(r) has raised the bar with the new JamMan Stereo Looper with the ability to store 35 minutes of CD-quality loops in 99 internal memories as well as having an SD memory card expansion slot giving you the ability to store over 16 hours* of material in an additional 99 slots.

Pros: You can do vocal and guitar loops simultaneously with the XLR connection, the interface is easy to use, wouldn't be afraid to use this in a live setting, the sound quality doesn't degrade as you add loops, stereo options, durable pedal, you can create multiple loops and transfer seemlessly between them once you figure out the timing, there are options to change rhythm of your loop without changing the pitch, you can essentially be your own band with this litle gadget, the reverse option is a lot of fun. Cons: I'd like to see more storage space at this price, if you buy the optional memory card expect to shell out fifty more dollars. My number one complaint is that you can only remove the last loop you recorded so this means you can't keep eliminating your loops until you are back to the original loop you made. A way around this is to always store your original loop in a seperate location, but its just inconvenient. If you mess up and accidentally record something you didn't mean to record you are stuck with it unless you want to redo everything. The rhythm tracks are basically worthless. Even if you try to use them it is really tricky to start and stop your loop in the correct timing using the robotic beat and this wasn't because it was hard to stay on the beat. It was just hard to figure out where to start and stop to make it work seamlessly with the rhythm so that it all played continuously and lopped on beat (if that makes sense). I tried using the beat for a song that had a tricky tempo and didn't have much luck with it. If you need a beat to go by, you are better off banging out the tempo you want to use on your guitar and working it that way. This is a very minor issue though and perhaps you'd have more luck with it than me. I think you need to pay attention to the lights to know when the rhythm is starting and stopping, but maybe you'll have more luck with it. Overall I don't think you'll do much better at this price unless you can luck up and score a used Boomerang on the cheap which is unlikely.
