Re: GNX3 with JamMan and recorder?

[Kevin Cheli-Colando <kevin@minds-eye.org>]

I downloaded the manual from Digitech and took a look at the thing.  I 
don't
honestly think that the Jamman (trademark) feature has much to do its 
Lexicon
predecessor.  As far as I can tell, they have an eight track digital 
recorder
set up so you can create a loop on one track and then overdub (and remove) 
stuff
on the other seven tracks.  I think that's about the extent of it.  I'm 
sure its
got the backwards features and the like but as far as being a looper I 
think its
very limited in its idea of what you can do with a loop; play something, 
loop
it, play some stuff on top of it, remove some of that stuff.

Its probably great if you want to have one portable unit that does 
everything,
effects processing (pretty extensive), recording and then some rudimentary
looping.  However, if you want to get really creative with the loops, I 
think
you might burn this out pretty quickly.  It does have a lot of time 
available
for loops though.

That's just my impression from a quick read through of the manual though, I
haven't played one or anything like that.
