“If you want to build loops on the fly in live performance, or have a pedal that is great for practising parts and phrase training, then the Solo will give you all you need in a very practically sized package, and at a keen price too”.
Digitech’s latest addition to the JamMan family, the JamMan Solo, is reviewed in the new issue of Guitarist magazine receiving a four out of five Guitarist rating.
The JamMan Solo is designed for guitarists and bassists packing a full-featured looper in a compact form factor. It has 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.
“…(it) could be right up your street if you fancy adding a looper to your rig but are a bit tight on pedalboard space. The JamMan Solo Looper/Phrase Sampler puts a whole range of classic JamMan features into a standard compact pedal…”.
“You can make as many overdubs to the loop as you like with more pedal presses, and if you make a mess of one it can easily be undone by pressing the pedal switch for two seconds”.
“Once you’re familiar with the JamMan Solo it’s really easy to build up complex guitar loops on the fly in live performance or to quickly record rhythm guitar parts to practise soloing over. As a practice aid, the pedal has another trick up its sleeve in that loops can be sped up or slowed down without changing the pitch, making it a really useful phrase training asset into witch you can load tracks that you need to learn”.
