Jamman Solo XT Looper - What type of SDHC memory expansion card?

[tubeswell]

I got the latest Jamman Solo XT looper a few months back and wondering what other peeps are using in the SDHC slot? The looper takes SDHC cards up to 32Gb, but what I'm specifically pondering is what Class, read/write speed etc.


I get that 'faster = better', but I'm an old fuddy duddy and I don't want to spend more than I have to if it makes no difference in the quality.

Wow, I got a response from Digitech's website tech support within minutes! (FWIW)



"Card class and speed should not make much audible difference. The JamMan actually uses only about 16mB, so a 32gB card will work but leave a lot of open space."

Yeah I was going to say, for audio recording, you can probably use anything on the market.  most audio gear doesn't use latest and greatest hardware for data write, as the bandwidth of raw wav 2 channel audio is super small compared to what the slowest stuff can do nowadays.  OTOH, I've had to up my game with my 4k Video recordings, some of the faster ones don't work worth a crap unless i use U3 class 10 cards :)

I'm a bit late to the conversation, but I just used the cheapest one I could find.  It's been fine.  Although, I use it to store backing tracks.

Never played with one of those tubeswell but it looks like a nice unit. I have a Beat Buddy that uses a flash memory card and it's for storing backing drum tracks which is way cool. You can purchase them already made which makes things was easier over making your own. I can run my Boss looper along with it and things get fun and creative for backing tracks to solo over and practice phrasing, etc. I wish I had things like this available when I was much younger.

I have Jam Man stereo looper and use up to 32gig sd cards.

 I'm not hip enough to know types/classes,  and whatnot,       but no matter which-     2 gig to 32gig   

 I find that if I loop a long song,  layering lots of parts,  if I don't commit,  that is to say if I don't save my `tracks'  periodically,  and keep layering,  the unit invariably  glitches,   losing all previous input. 

Other tracks on other slots aren't harmed,  but it's really frustrating to lose all that work. 

Of course it always happened when it was my best performances as I was happily tooling along.

 Hope this saves you a headache.
