Critic Reviews

DigiTech JamMan Express XT review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The DigiTech JamMan Express XT is a no-brainer for anyone's pedalboard, offering an intuitive, feature-rich looper at a killer price. With essential functions like record, overdub, undo/redo, and stop/start, plus stereo inputs and outputs, it's great for both beginners and seasoned loopers. The standout feature is the Silent Clear, which smartly handles loop clearing without unwanted playback. While it's a solid choice for looping enthusiasts, the review doesn't highlight significant downsides, making it an overall positive pick for its value and clever design.

After 3 different pedals, this one got me!

Having 3 separated lights for each function (Rec/Dub/Play) is great, and the knob is big enough so I can adjust the volume with my foot in case I need to make it louder (which was my problem with TC Ditto and Boss RC-1). The footswitch works the same as Ditto and RC-1 (one step to rec, 1 to play, one to overdub, 2 to stop, hold to erase the track), but this pedal has what they call "silent clear", so there is no noise or issues when you delete the overdub or the track! This pedal was cheaper and it sounds the same as the other 2 pedals, while being easier to control. I think some people will prefer the RC-1 for being able to add the extra footswitch, but to me this is good enough and for the price/quality it's hard to beat.

Fantastic little looper with features that make it far superior to other brands.

The Digitech JamMan Express XT is a handy way to loop and do overdubs, layering loop on top of loop.

Silent Clear enables you to stop or remove a loop pattern, without having to turn your amp volume down as you do it. DigiTech thinks of everything and is one of the best brands for effects devices, although I love some of them a lot more than others.

It takes batteries or a power adapter, is cheaper than the Ditto, has 5 more minutes of looping memory (total of 10 minutes). It can be daisy chained to other Digitech JamMan loopers for multi-tracking and they synch, it has LED lights so you know where you are (Record, Play, Overdub), and it has stereo in/out.

Simple Looper, Great Price

For the price this is a fantastic looper, really easy to use with straight-forward controls and a simple interface. The Jamsync function is a really neat addition for people who like to create massive loop soundscapes. The Silent Clear is really useful, as i mainly use it for creating a backing track mid-song to solo over, and often need to change riffs later in the song. Only downfall is that it's maybe a little too simple, double tapping to switch the loop off can get tedious.

"I had the Boss RC-20, but I just replaced it with the DigiTech JamMan XT Express, which is incredibly compact and super-affordable. It’s stereo, it’s true bypass, it has a very small footprint, and it’s all I need—on and off."
