I guess maybe I don't understand the issue, since I'm not familiar
with the Jamman.  If the problem is that you want to play over the
echo without adding to the echo, why not add a footswitch to bypass
around the box?  Better yet, a 1-into-2 fader, where one output goes
directly to your mixer, and one goes through the jamman to the mixer?
That way you could have very quiet "echos" of your solos loop along as
you continued "non-loop playing".

Ugh, they don't allow this?  Not even the Echoplex?

They could supply the effects in/out as digital s/pdif, which wouldn't
add much to the base cost.  You could go right through an effects unit
with digital in/out, and they could sell an add-on A/D D/A box for
people with analogue effects that want to use this technique.
