They may as well have called it a Loopopadopolar rather than a "JamMan." for all it resembles the original design and intent of the JamMan. No feedback control takes a looper off my list of things to get and as a big fan of the original JamMan, I consider it false advertising to name something as different as this new box is to the classic looper. Doesn't matter that color it is, but if it won't sync to a MIDI clock or give me some sort of feedback control, it isn't a JamMan.
