The Digitech JamMan Express XT has a SERIOUS design flaw
Small design decisions have consequences. I am no longer recommending the DigiTech JamMan Express XT, for the reason you see in the photo: the jamsync IN port on the Express is not supported all the way around by sheet metal, so it breaks off if…
Monster Rock Harp: “Blues to News”
10 minutes plus of some of the most intense and original live rock harmonica ever recorded. Live performance with looper by Richard Hunter, 2017. Lee Oskar Natural Minor harmonica into an Audix Fireball V mic into a Digitech iStomp running the Swingshift polyphonic pitch shifter,…
Multitrack looping on the cheap: JamSyncing with Digitech’s XT loopers
I’ve been working with the Pigtronix Infinity looper for a while, and finally came to the conclusion that it’s not ideal for me. So I pulled my Digitech JamMan Solo XT looper out of the closet to take another look at it, and I’m liking…
Looping with the Pigtronix Infinity
I’ve been using the Digitech JamMan Solo XT, Jamsynced to an Express XT, for a few months now. It’s a decent setup for multi-track looping, and certainly the most powerful setup at anything near its price point, but it’s got some issues where live performance…
Adventures with JamSync: It Gets Better
In my latest post I mentioned that Digitech’s JamSync works: I can sync my JamMan Solo XT to my JamMan Express XT, no problem. Now I’ve discovered that it does something I hadn’t expected and that I’ve wanted for a long time.
First Impressions of the JamMan Solo XT and JamSync

I wrote a few weeks ago that I was getting set up to test a new looping setup involving a Syncman, a Yamaha drum machine, a Digitech JamMan Solo XT looper, and a JamMan Express XT looper. What travails have ensued since then, you may…
Looping Setups Old and New and a Couple of New Loop Jams
I decided in the last couple of days to buy some new gear for looping. The main idea with this gear is to sync everything to everything: loopers to each other, loopers to drum machines, drum machines to sequencers–you name it, I want it synced…
Digitech JamMan Solo XT: is it a game-changer?
I wrote a piece a few days ago about the upcoming Digitech JamMan Solo XT, in which I commented that the price-to-performance ratio didn’t look so amazing compared to some of Boss’s recent loopers. This morning I suddenly realized that the new JamSync feature is…
Gear Review: A Tale of Two Loopers
I’ve been using the Digitech JamMan Solo looper pedal for some time now. Last week Zzounds.com offered a B-stock JamMan Stereo looper for 2/3 of the normal retail price, and I picked one up while I had the chance. This review describes some of the…
