Re: newbie ? Jamman echo function

[rich <rich@nuvisionsca.com>]

David,

try tapping in shorter echo times for practice, and do this BEFORE 
you play any audio into the jamman.

as soon as you hit the 'tap', the green led should light, and it will 
turn off when you tap the second time.  sometimes, when doing 
multiple taps to get the general tempo of a song, you can mistakenly 
leave the 'tap' ON, so to speak...

just make sure your last tap turns the green led OFF.  then you will 
see the green led pulsing with the tempo.  that's the way you want 
it...

and the P means that the echo mode is in bypass.  hit the bypass 
switch and you should see a number on the screen, 1-16.

1 is the lowest feedback, essentially one repeat.  16 is 100% 
feedback.  all the numbers inbetween are various levels of feedback. 
you can adjust that by the pot on the front panel (i've forgotten 
what it's labelled as)

hope this helps...

ps. i'm doing hard disc recording, and my influences of droney, 
spacey guitar laden bands are similar to your references.  shoegazers 
unite!
