Question for Jamman users

FailedViolinist

Hi

I was looking at buying the jamman. However in the manual it says to place any distortion pedals in between the guitar and the jammans input and to then connect the output to your amps input. The problem is I have a perfectly decent lead sound that I get out of my amp and I don't want to use a stompbox instead. I was wondering if the jamman can be used in an amps FX loop? I think it should work but I just wanted to make sure before I brought one.

Thanks

You don't need to use a distortion/OD stompbox if you don't want to. And you don't need to use your amp's FX loop either; just go git'r>JamMan>amp and you'll be gruvy.
UNLESS you want to JamMan to loop the signal as it comes out of your amp; in which case you'd use the FX loop, in order to take the JamMan's signal from the front end (preamp) of your amp. But you'll still be missing whatever part of the distortion comes from the amp stage of your rig...
