FOR: Great-sounding guitar-driven loops and delays. The JamMan Delay makes it easy to create, overdub, store and archive loops via USB, and has become the pedal of choice for numerous loopheads. In the ’70s King Crimson’s Robert Fripp tethered two tape machines together to create endless guitar loops—could he have imagined that someday 35 minutes of loop memory, nine rhythmic backing tracks and beat-synched delays up to 16 seconds long would come in this little box? You can assign any of the JamMan Delay’s 11 delay types to three foot-switchable presets per memory location, which, in combination with the expression pedal jack, make this a great standalone delay pedal.

NOT FOR: Tape geeks.
