Try Bananas at Large in San Rafael.  Not exactly downtown SF though...

Personally, I think the EDP has better sound quality than the Jam Man. I
notice a slight high-freq rolloff on the Jam man, but can not tell a
difference on the EDP from the direct signal, if I have my levels set 
right.

I thought of selling my Jam man recently too.  I use the EDP for looping
and am just using the Jam Man as a delay.  I decided not to though, cause I
like the ease of tapping the tempo, adjusting feedback, and that it can
sync to MIDI clock.  I imagine its just a matter of time before someone
makes a unit with the same capabilities, better sound quality, more loop
time, smaller, and with a $100 price tag...
