For most of their history, looper pedals have been largely aimed at guitarists. The appeal of looping for a guitarist is easy to understand. Having a tireless jamming companion and being able to turn yourself into a one-man band opens up a wealth of possibilities. But if you sing or play an acoustic instrument, many of the available looper pedals don’t have much to offer. However, the Digitech JamMan Vocal XT is one of the few options – also including the Boss RC-202 and the TC Electronic Ditto Mic Looper – created with vocalists in mind. The question is: does the looper offer enough to make it worth the investment?Check Amazon Price

Digitech Jamman Express XT Review
DigiTech’s famous JamMan series of loopers has a new addition. The Express XT is a stripped-down looper, a simplistic model more easily comparable to the TC Ditto than to any previous stompbox-size JamMan models. For devout DigiTech supporters, the ability to connect multiple Express XTs together for multi-track looping may be a big selling point. Although the feature was also included on the Solo XT, the Express is cheaper, so it has the potential to be the first real taste of this feature for many loopers. Check Amazon Price
Digitech Jamman Solo XT Looper Review
Digitech’s JamMan range is legendary in the world of loopers. The gargantuan, though now somewhat dated Jamman Delay Looper being one of the most feature-heavy options on the market. The Jamman Solo XT builds on the Jamman Solo, offering the features and functionality you expect from the JamMan series in a small, stompbox-sized package. However, any update like this automatically raises suspicions. If you already have the Jamman Solo, for example, is the updated XT version really worth the upgrade? How much has actually changed?Check Amazon Price
Digitech JamMan Delay Looper Review
DigiTech has combined the best of both worlds in the new JamMan Delay Looper. The JamMan Delay Looper features both true stereo looping and a fully programmable stereo delay with powerful control over both effects. The Looper in the JamMan Delay Looper ffers true stereo looping with 35 minutes of built-in memory, 99 internal loop memories, and an SD card expansion slot for an additional 99 loops and over 16 hours of stereo loop storage.

Digitech JamMan Stereo Review
After amazing success with the original JamMan, Digitech improved upon it and unleashed three brand new loopers: the Jamman Solo, the Jamman Stereo (reviewed here), and the Jamman Delay. The JamMan Stereo is the mid-sized version, the one Goldilocks would have chosen. The question is whether being in the middle really does make it ‘juuust right.’ Users of the original JamMan will be right at home with the layout of the Jamman Stereo. There are a couple of extra footswitches, but apart from that, there won’t be any teething problems.Check Amazon Price
Digitech JamMan Solo Review
The JamMan Solo seems to be Digitech’s challenge to the Boss RC-3 Loop Station, the smallest of Boss’s line of looper pedals. The JamMan Solo is the compact, inexpensive sibling of DigiTech’s larger JamMan Stereo and JamMan Delay Looper pedals, and is now somewhat eclipsed by Digitech’s newer Jamman Solo XT, which offers a few small improvements over the Jamman Solo. The challenge faced by manufacturers producing compact pedals like the Jamman Solo or the similar Jamman Solo XT is maintaining the same level of functionality offered by the larger models.Check Amazon Price
Digitech JamMan Review
Right off the bat, you may have noticed the similarity in look between the JamMan and Boss’s RC-20XL. You are certainly not alone. The RC-20XL came out in August 2004, and the JamMan a year later, to the month. This leads to a lot of competition between the two pedals, and they are in many ways easily comparable. DigiTech has since released a couple of new pedals, the JamMan Solo and the JamMan Stereo, but then again, so has Boss. Check Amazon Price
