Simple, Intuitive & Inspiring! - Digitech JamMan Solo HD Stereo Looper Pedal - How To Use It & More

[@jackprice7828]

One of the original greatest loop guitarists in the world, Phil Keaggy used the rack version way back in the 80’s and still does to this day.

i love it when old gear still works

[@jasonlewis5350]

That jam around the 21:00 min mark was sick. Great demo dude. I would love to see some more looping doing an ambient metal or something similar to modern P&W. I know that’s a weird combo, but I am who I was made to be. 😊

[@PeterKardas]

Great video! TY! 😊

[@freddylopez7536]

Great vid presentation my friend. You play great and you really took advantage of of this looper and where you can go. Thank you for your diligence and your talent. f

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

Thanks Freddy! Your view, comment, and feedback is appreciated

[@MrLucakeller]

Great review! How did you get the lead sound at 16:30? Amazin!

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

The solo sound is most likely the Keeley Super Rodent with a slight gain boost from a clean boost.

[@MrLucakeller]

​@@SeanPierceJohnsonthank you? And how do you get that ambient whooshy sound? Seems some kind of super open reverb

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

@@MrLucakeller the more LoFi tones are thanks to the Chase Bliss Generation Loss mk2. As far as ambience, it’s a combo of the Keeley Halo and Walrus Audio Mako R1

[@MrLucakeller]

@@SeanPierceJohnson thank you super useful

Nice one SPJ! Best Demo of this pedal I've seen by a mile

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

much appreciate my friend! thank you

[@cybersectech3171]

Yea I saw they released this, but honestly I don't why, it's years too late. I'm struggling to find anything it does better than the Boss RC-5. I feel like they could have innovated more with this pedal, but since this was already in the pipeline when they briefly closed shop, I guess they decided just to release it since the work was already done.

[@pawekanturski2069]

Yeah

[@dakzer55]

For those are looking to buy the Jaman Solo HD, the older Jaman Solo XT is exactly the same pedal, with the only difference being the new HD model has upgraded AD/DA components. BUT the audio quality as per the manual are the same for both models at 16bit/44.1khz. The casing is exactly the same, so not sure what other differences are apart from being alot more expensive. A used XT is < $100, while a HD is $230+ 😮

[@renmad0078]

Nice I hope they will make the bigger with 2 or 4 foottswitch too have more tracks and much more rythm inside only 9 it's very short to choose what rythm we need i hope they will make it soon we need it👍😉

[@arsenemontalvo4711]

Hi! Where did you get those amazing drum tracks??

[@HumbleHeartMinistry]

The main reason I am interested in this is being able to save 200 songs via the sd card. I have an Aeros Looper and Beatbuddy synced with the MIDI Maestro, which works great for creating the songs I use for backing tracks to play live performances. I have an old digitech looper I mix them down to for quick access for the performing live, But it only holds so much, and is getting old. This one will hold double the amount on the sd card, with enough time for them to be full songs, and is half the size of my older one. Would this sync to my Beatbuddy? Didn’t see a midi in/out on it. I wouldn’t even hesitate buying it if it did. Anyways, thanks for the review!

[@ianhesford]

Just got this pedal. The rhythm volume knob does absolutely nothing. Right out of the box the rhythm volume is completely useless. Doesn’t even affect the mix between recorded loops and the drum machine. Just got off reading forums and I’m not the only one. Apparently the only way to get rid of the rhythm/drum track is go into submenu and turn it completely off. I am beyond perplexed at this. Why even have a rhythm volume knob? It’s surreal not to have this obvious issue not even mentioned in this and other tutorials. I must be missing something except I’m not the only one who is based on the forums I checked. Wtf Digitech? Sure it’s fine if you want to just play to a drum machine as a solo guitar player out of the box, it’s plug and play for these folks. But if someone prefers to tap out there out rhythm they have to stoop down and scroll painfully through submenus. It’s only been two days to be fair but I have yet to get the rhythm volume knob to do anything at all. Scratches head…

[@kurtklingklang5918]

Bless you for being excited about a one track looper. Particularly when its price is close to a two track looper

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

I’m a simple man who grew up looping in a DL4. One track is all I ever needed

[@carloscoll5249]

The drum quality sound is impressive, would it sound that good played directly through an amp?

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

I wouldn’t think so. It would be colored by the amp’s preamp and speaker choices.

[@benjaminchilders639]

How do you shut off the drum tracks?

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

@@benjaminchilders639 turn down the level knob

[@gavmurph3764]

I feel like I just woke up from being cryogenically frozen for a decade

[@FlamesAt1000ft]

Sure wish you let us JamMan SoloXT users,..(💕mine! ) Get to listen to ALL those new Drum Loops!! f-_-!)..and agreed ‘bout that Mix / Level ordeal…🙄..but i am happy,..😁good to go w/ my JamSync & SDrum functionality!! b(‘_

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

Man, if we listened to all of them we’d be here a long time! I picked my favorites for this one. And you’ll likely hear more of them in future videos 😉

[@FlamesAt1000ft]

@@SeanPierceJohnson Whoa!!😳..that many huh!?? Then i hope they let us JamMan SSolo XTers get in on the feature in a Software Update!🤨👌🏾 i feel it’s another fine pedal from them!👍🏾😄

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

@@FlamesAt1000ft there’s 10 or so…but to listen thru all of em for any length without playing with them would be super dull. And then playing along with all of them woulda made the video super long.

[@TettehBeltman]

How is the connection, from the guitar -- looper -- amp Cos I can see soo many cables Any explanations friend

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

The cable you see are simply stereo in and stereo out. The guitar is going into my normal gigging pedalboard with a normal mono guitar cable. At some point in the board the signal is split into stereo for delays and reverb. My amp sim pedal, the Walrus Audio ACS1, is at the end of the chain. From that stereo output it goes into the JamMan Solo HD. Then out of the JamMan Solo HD stereo to my recording interface.

[@s.mendez7160]

Can you do future reviews without the guitar solo music in the background. Its really distracting. Reminds me of trying to shop at Guitar Center... Thank you.

[@SILVER_ON3]

Excellent Vid. TY!!
