DigiTech® is shipping the highly anticipated JamMan® Stereo Looper pedal. The JamMan Stereo packs all the features of the legendary JamMan plus stereo I/O, reverse playback, Rhythm Output, and three stop modes.
DigiTech developed the PDS 8000 looper pedal over twenty years ago. It looped eight seconds of audio. When DigiTech reinvented loopers in 2005 with the original JamMan®, over 6 hours worth of material could be stored on a removable media card.
,br>Now, DigiTech® 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.
The JamMan Stereo also features true stereo looping, reverse playback, and a mic input making it perfect for backing tracks or DJ applications.
The JamMan Stereo features USB connectivity and will sync to DigiTech’s free JamManager™ software that organizes and saves your JamMan Stereo loops to PC or Mac. JamManager also lets you quickly create custom JamLists to take to your gig.
The JamMan Stereo will store over 35 minutes of stereo, CD-quality loops in 99 loops internally as well as having a SD memory card expansion slot, giving the artist the ability to store up to 16 hours of material in an additional 99 slots with the optional card.
“We reinvented loopers nearly a decade ago with the original JamMan® and now we are reinventing loopers again with the new JamMan Stereo. We are always striving to give musicians new ways to be creative and unique,” stated Jason Lamb, Marketing Manager for DigiTech.
