I have experienced the same thing using a Rolls MIDI Buddy foot controller and a Roland MIDI controller. I believe it is (the dreaded) MIDI latency...not just the controller, or just the JamBoy. Finally I bought two Boss FS-5U unlatching footswitches and all the lags and delays went away. One thing about working with loops is that your perception of time is heightened. In "normal" playing, that kind of latency, while maybe being perceptible, wouldn't have made such a big impact on things....working with loops has given you the power to hear the latency (and thusly the big drawback) to MIDI. Personally, I no longer use MIDI for anything.....as I can hear a perceptible and bothersome delay throughout...and the more MIDI you use, the bigger the delays.
