Boss Loop Station, Digitech JamMan or Gibson Echoplex

[Californiaman]

Please feel free to leave your comments if you're familiar with any of these.

I do want to get something that I can use both at home and on stage.

Thanks for you help.

I figured out how to use the digitech jam-man with little difficulty. If I can do, anyone can. It is virtually unlimited with its expandable memory and footswitch. And built solid.

BOSS loop station... I've owned both the twin pedal version and the single pedal version and they are great, I can only imagine how great the pedalboard version is... (but it is too expensive for a loop station).

 

I liked the single pedal version over the twin, less room in the pedalboard, but both work perfectly.

 

 

EDIT: I just noticed I have writen "vox loop station" instead of BOSS... fixed.

Have you considered the Line 6 JM4 Looper?

I didn't know that they made one.

How is it?

I don't mean to hi-jack this thread, but I am also in the market for a loop station so I am interested in how it turns out.

I would be using it strictly at home and as a song writing tool as apposed to live usage if that influences anything.

 

Again, sorry to Californiaman, I don't mean to hi-jack your thread.

Well considering I don't own one...yet...I was looking at the ones you listed, but I think when I finally get one it'll be the Line 6. Check out their web site.

I use the Boss 2 pedal version and no complaints at all works exactly as advertised. the single pedal is a great size but was a little more limited than I wanted.

That's all right. You didn't hijack my thread. I think we both realize the need for such a creative tool.

I don't know enough about them to vote or voice an opinion other than what I've heard.

 

I met a guy who did a show with one about two weeks ago - fabulous the way he used his Boss.

 

However, before our conversation I was considering the Jam man since that is what Chet Atkins used in a particular song I like of his.

Awesome!

 

Does anyone else have any experience with loop stations?

[Californiaman]

Echoing TinFish's question, "Does anyone else have any experience with loop stations?"

[Thundergod]

What exactly do you wanna know about them? I have some experience with them, but not much: plug, record, play it over and over and over... :-

[TinFish]

I guess I'd just like to know about some of the different features(anything in addition to what is on their websites).

Maybe any problems people have had with either pedal or if they are constructed poorly. Did either of them stand out to people a a clearly better loop station etc.

[Thundergod]

I have only used 2 of the BOSS models, and they were built like all boss pedals, to withstand a nuclear blast at ground zero... really, my single sized fell off a balcony (not my doing) and got some scratches but no dents and still works as new.

[Californiaman]

So no one has experience with the Echoplex from Gibson?

I would think there was someone on this forum who can tell us a little about it.

[Thundergod]

I was going to ask the same... strange, isnt it? after all, this is the gibson forum...
