When you run any sound through Jam-
Man, you will hear a very quick echo. (This is
JamMan’s default echo rate of 80ms.)
The display indicates feedback level.
When you select Echo mode, this control will
default to 1 (no feedback). Turning the front
panel SELECT
knob clockwise will increase
the number of echo repetitions you hear. The
highest setting (16) provides infinite feed-
back. Be careful! This can cause signal
overload as echoes continually accumulate.
Change the echo rate
To change the echo rate, simply TAP two
beats — JamMan will adjust the echo rate to
whatever rhythm you tap — so the results
will always be musical.
For example, TAP two beats in any tempo
you want. Now, anything played through
JamMan will have a one-beat echo repeat at
whatever tempo you tapped. The
TEMPO
LED will flash in time.
3. Press FUNCTION again to hear your
original echo rate change to eighth-note
triplets. The middle display LED should
light.
4. Press FUNCTION again to hear your
original echo rate in sixteenth-notes. The
bottom display LED should light.
5. Press FUNCTION again to return to your
original echo rate. None of the display
LEDs should be lit.
Note that you can set any of these rhyth-
mic variations before you tap in a tempo —
allowing you, for example, to tap in quarter-
notes and get a sixteenth-note echo rate.

To select a new echo rate at any time, just
TAP twice. RESET/BYPASS allows you to
mute the current rhythm while tapping in a
new one.
Vary the rhythm
FUNCTION allows you to select among
four echo rates on the fly: the rhythm you
TAP in, and three variations on your original
rhythm.
To hear how this works:
1. Play audio through JamMan, and TAP in
two quarter-notes in time with your audio
source.
2. Press FUNCTION. The first push will
divide the echo rate in half. You should
now be hearing eighth-note repetitions.
— Note that the uppermost display LED
is lit to indicate division of the original
echo rate by 2.
