Recording Overdubs - DigiTech JAMMAN Manual

Recording Overdubs

Once a loop phrase is recorded, you can add overdubs over the top of it.
Overdubs can only be recorded to Loop phrases and not to Single phrases.
If a phrase has had the tempo changed, it must first be stored to memory
before overdub recording can proceed.
1. Select a previously recorded Loop phrase, or use a newly recorded phrase
that has not yet been stored. The LOOP LED must be lit if a previously
recorded phrase is selected.
2. Select the inputs you want to record using the RECORD MODE button.
3. Play or sing and adjust the INST LEVEL and MIC LEVEL knobs so that the
PEak LED lights only occasionally if using the INSTRUMENT or MIC inputs.
If using the aUx inputs, adjust the output level of the audio source so that
the PEak LED lights only occasionally.
4. Press the REC/PLaY/OVERDUb footswitch. The PLaY LED will light and the
phrase will begin playing.
5. Press and release the REC/PLaY/OVERDUb footswitch again to begin overdub
recording. The OVERDUb LED will now light and any performance or
audio introduced on the selected input will now be recorded along with
the playback.
6. When you have an overdub you are happy with, press the REC/PLaY/
OVERDUb footswitch to end the overdub session and continue playback,
or press the STOP/TEMPO footswitch. If you want to undo the last overdub,
press and hold the REC/PLaY/OVERDUb footswitch for two seconds. This will
remove the last overdub take that was recorded. Pressing and holding the
footswitch again will redo the last overdub.
Note:
The Undo feature only works on the last overdub. (For more
information on Undo and Redo, see page 21.)
7. You can continue adding overdubs by continuing to press the REC/PLaY/
OVERDUb footswitch. Each time an overdub is added, the last overdub is
merged with the original loop and it can no longer be undone using the
Undo feature.
8. Once you are finished, press the STOP/TEMPO footswitch to stop playback/
overdubbing.
Note:
The minimum loop length is 3.5 seconds.
