Hi guys !
I am looking for a device with which I'll be able to :
- play on some mp3 playbacks
- save the parts I play with the playbacks
- make some loops (just a few one – not looking for a one hundred loop score)
BUT :
- still play on my marshall DSL401 – JCM2000
- save the exact sound from the amplifier (+maybe some light effect I use with my pedals) in order to listen to « my valve sound »
THAT MEANS :
- avoiding plugging the guitar on the computer (want to keep the simplicity)
- avoiding playing with modelisation (Tonelab, POD, TonePort, etc) that, imo, takes A LOT from the natural sound and vibe of the guitar (and the pickups !) + it is not the sound of your amplifier...
I was thinking using a Digitech Jamman could be the perfect solution (it has a memory card slot that allow you to put all the mp3 playback you have in a simple guitar-amp scheme. :idea:
BUT I was told that the frequencies of the playbacks (drum – bass) can deteriorate the amp, especially the Hps. :cry:
So I was wondering what other solutions might you guys suggest : All replies are very welcome ! :D

Oh and btw can someone confirm that playing some playback (drum-bass) in a amp like mine (JCM 2000) that doesn't have an mp3 input could really damage the HPs ?
And if you think the option of a Jamman would not be suitable, just tell me guys how you proceed to do so, in a simple AND economic way ?

Interesting question. I don't see how you could play the backing tracks through your amp without it sounding bad.
Maybe a stand alone recorder (something that has a drum machine like the ones BOSS makes) and a pair of powered speakers?
