Stephen Ferrara (Chris Cornell's guitar tech): “ We use this on Chris’s Songbook tours, too, as well as the Memory Man. For the song Rowing, one has a specific loop that’s a little bit longer, and the other one’s is slightly shorter. So, we’ve got vocal loops right now.”
According to a Guitar Geek rig diagram from 2009, Bill Kelliher used a DigiTech JamMan Stereo looper during live performances with Mastodon. The diagram specifically identifies it as a JamMan Stereo based on its distinctive appearance.

Doug Wimbish utilizes the DigiTech JamMan looper pedal as part of his extensive bass effects setup, as detailed in Uberproaudio's overview of his gear.
Warren can be see one using here, there's also a very clear shot of him using the jamman in the 2013 Nick Cave documentary: 20'000 days on Earth (at 6:02)
Zinner uses his vast array of effects to achieve the band’s recorded sounds through samples and looping, as well as compensate for the lack of a full-time bass player with a broader tonal spectrum. His main board (far right) is home to a DigiTech JamMan, Line 6 MM4, ProCo DeuceTone RAT (his primary fuzz tones), Boss DD-7, HBE Power Screamer, and Electro-Harmonix Graphic Fuzz. To the left of that, his second board has a DigiTech Whammy, another DigiTech Jam Man, a Line 6 DL4, Electro-Harmonix POG, and TC Electronic Flashback Delay. His third board contains a second Line 6 DL4, and three Eventide pedals: TimeFactor, PitchFactor, and Space. Finally, by his amps, is a fourth board with two more sample-loaded DigiTech JamMan pedals. Before his signal goes into his amps, it hits a TC Electronic Classic Booster + Distortion.
Takeshi Ohtani is seen using the DigiTech JamMan looper pedal during a rehearsal session, as shared on Instagram by borisdronevil. The post mentions incorporating the JamMan experimentally to match the desired sound image while aiming for downsizing and weight reduction.
