Any Howie Day fans out there? If you've spotted this article because you are thinking about buying the JamMan Looper pedal, look no further, this thing delivers.
First of all, this pedal is useful for both practicing and performing some cool guitar riffs. A looper pedal allows you layer as many tracks of rhythm, solo, or vocal tracks on the fly by recording with a tap of the foot. For practicing, imagine laying down a few minutes of a 12 bar blues progression, soloing over it, and then listening back to it all without ever using a stand alone recording device (review continued below...)

The ease of use and flexibility will allow you to improve your chops and licks in no time. You can also save your compositions using up to 2 gigs of compact flash memory cards (the same used for digital cameras).
Secondly, if you are a solo performer, use this pedal as your own backing band. There are a ton of musicians right now utilizing this looping technology to impress live audiences around the country. Lay down a quick bass line, some chords, a vocal line, and solo tweaks and you have a complete song at your finger tips. The pedal accepts guitar, vocal, and keyboard inputs.
You can store and transfer to your computer a maximum of 99 tracks! If you install the 2 gig chip, you can loop for a total of 6 1/2 hours!! Because of that high powered flexibility, ease of use, and direct to PC use, I give this pedal the 4 Star treatment. On another level, I find using these pedal really gets the creative juices flowing for song writing as well. Check this thing out. It retails for around $299.95.

How do you manage with drums or percussions? Are there available and can be picked as layers? Cheers!
