I play kind of like a surfy Ty Segall/The Drums thing so huge gaze tones aren't really needed I need snap and stuff. I start off with the AD4096 which splits into two lines, one goes to the Jamman and then straight out to the RRR. That's like a clean line and I can adjust volume on the Jamman so it doesn't clip and then boost it with the RRR so it sounds right with the other line. The other side of the AD4096 goes through demo tape fuzz then super hard on then belle epoch then Spring chicken. I mainly use the plates on the RRR and the spring chicken with the dwell about midway. The AD4096, RRR and Spring Chicken are always on and the reverb on my Fender Twin is about 6 or 7, so it's always pretty wet. I use the demo tape fuzz as my dirt and boost that with the super hard on when I need the volume boost.

So yeah unfortunately with the Jamman, my hands are tied for most things but this way it often sounds like I'm playing a bunch of guitars at once both looped and through stereo lines that are using non synced time based effects, it's pretty cool

Theres a guy on ebay that sells a little button thing you put on and you can hit it with your foot then you can switch up and down between loops and they're saved. Otherwise you'll need a Boomerang, a massive boss rc (like an rc-50) or the Infinity maybe the big ehx one. If you want the loops to be different lengths you can do it with all of these two.
I've tried pretty much every looper and to be honest none of them are very good. What I would like is the ability to save loops, since I like to jump straight from one loop into a chorus loop without having to play it first, an on and an off switch. The Ditto that could save with separate start and stop buttons is my ideal looper. The main reason for this is the analogue dry through, your guitar always stays the same only the loop volume changes. With any of the other loopers you have multiple volume controls (loop and instrument) and they always clip and sound terrible to me. The jamman isn't necessarily bad I found it sounds better when it clips than the boss rc-50. The ditto sucked for me because of that double tap off, when youre playing and you need a quick stop of the loop it just gets tricky. Still waiting for a solid looper for guitarists, the ditto is a great start though
