Damn, Inverseroom was kind enough to toss me a link to his track with all JFET, it was AMAZZZZZING!!! (Maybe he'll chime in and post it?) Soooo very incredibl...

Hamptone ~ JFET vs. Tube - STILL CAN'T DECIDE!

After tons of research I STILL can't decide which one to get. I know that I want something slightly colored yet stackable, it will be paired with a really nice clean pre and used primarily for vocals, guitars, re-amping various samples, elements that would occupy a similar range as a snare drum, (li...

17 minutes of memory for the original JamMan.I totally miss mine btw.
Thanks for the link! They're asking $300, but that apparently includes some mods to some of the midi options as well. Isn't this just an option of upgrading some parts? How hard would something like this be?

Upgrading Memory on a Lexicon JamMan

Lexicon wants $500 to toss a few chips or whatever in a JamMan rack unit to increase the amount of loop time, anyway around that? What should I be looking for? Can this be done by a newbie? Thanks guys!
