Line6 Spider Jam v. JM4 Looper – which for what?
Review by: Joe Gillespie – Joe runs a web site, www.joesjamblog.com, dedicated to these great devices that offers information and tips to get the best out of them.
Line6’s Spider III Jam and JM4 Looper are basically the same product in different packages. Although I could start by rhyming off a whole list of features, I will instead explain what these products are all about;
They are to help you improve your playing. They will! Not many other products can make that claim.
Looping – in the guitar sense!
Guitar Looping is an interesting concept. Lay down a rhythm, add some lead, pile on some depth – VIOLA! Sounds easy right? Personally, I own a Line6 Spider Jam and I love it’s looping. I’ve added the FBV Express and (with some pre-setting) you can control the SJ sound-on-sound looper and lay down some tunes over the backing tracks.
I know there’s a lot of loopers out there…Like the Boss RC-2, RC-20XL, and the venerable RC-50…Then there’s the DigiTech JamMan, and Line6 has the stand-alone JM4.
So I’m curios…What, if any, looper do you use?
