Yesterday, I was trying to learn Cumberland Blues off of EU '72, and I've been stuck on some of the technique--the fast note rolls that are so impossibly fleeting, I just couldn't finish the phrases to get them to work. Then I remembered that I still hadn't assessed the 1/8" x 1/8" mini cable that I have, whether it would work with the headphones output on my stereo with the back of the Jamman.
So I got everything out again, got the Jamman manual in front of me, and started hooking the stuff up. Very nervous about all this since I had never tried this stuff and was afraid of blowing the amp with a loud pop or something.
Anyway, it works beautifully. I am blown away by all this. I connected everything together, following the instructions, and with volumes at zero began to work up to a comfortable volume. Then I tried the 4 diffirent combinations associated with the Aux Input and found that using just the Aux Input with the Center Cancel brings Jerry right into focus perfectly. It's incredible how clear he comes in and the rest of the band is just a low rumble and muffle.
But it gets better. I tried the Tempo button, and as was hoped from when I bought this stuff, was able to slow the tempo down but maintain original pitch, and now those Cumberland Blues note rolls are stretching out as though Jerry is right in front of me saying, "Look, it's so easy, let me play it slow for you like this. See how they roll off?"
I am smiling ear to ear right now!!
