2. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing Ditto X2 Jam, the world’s rst listening looper stompbox. Its BeatSense feature constantly adjusts your loop’s playback tempo to play in time with your drummer or percussionist instead of the other way around. This makes it possible for bands to nally use a looper in live performance without the need for nely-tuned monitoring systems and the possibility of losing sync with the loop.
You can think of Ditto X2 Jam as an ex tra player who can ll out a band’s sound, play chords under guitar solos, allow the building of audio layers in time with the band, and many more uses yet to be determined as this technology has never been seen or used before.
Of course it can also be set to “Classic” mode as a fully capable traditional non­BeatSensing looper, or to “Practice” mode that allows you to speed up or slow down loop playback and prac tice those challenging runs at dierent speeds.

2.1 Unpacking

Your TC Electronic eect pedal box should contain the following items:

2.2 Setting Up

Connect a 9 V power supply with the following symbol to the DC input socket of your TC Electronic eect pedal.
+
This product does not come with a power supply. We recommend using TC Electronic’s PowerPlug 9 (sold separately).
• If no power supply is available, you can run this product using one or
two 9 V batteries.
• For more information on changing batteries, see
“6.2 Changing the Batteries”.
• Plug the power supply into a power outlet.
• Connect your instrument to the Input jack on the rear side of the pedal using
a ¼" jack cable.
• Connect the Output jack on the rear side of the pedal to your amplier using
a ¼" jack cable. See chapter 4 “Hookup Scenarios” for more information on connections.
Then get the Ditto X2 Jam ready to listen to the tempo…
• Connect the external microphone to the Ext Mic input on the rear side
of the pedal. Clamp the mic onto the snare drum, cajón, djembe, etc. to allow the BeatSense to “listen” to the rhythm clearly. If necessar y, use a ⁄" TRS headphone extension cable to allow the mic to reach the drummer. These can be purchased cheaply and easily online or at any electronics or music store.
• If you plan to use the onboard BeatSense mics, the Ditto X2 Jam will have
the best chance of detecting the rhythm accurately if it is placed closer to the drums than any other instrument.
• Avoid aiming ampliers directly at the onboard or external BeatSense mics.
• When used without an external rhythm source, BeatSense will cause erratic
loop timing. See “Selec ting Modes” to change to Classic or Practice mode.

• Your TC Electronic eect pedal
• Rubber feet for “non-Velcro” use
• External microphone
• Quick Start Guide sheet
• TC Electronic sticker
Inspect all items for signs of transit damage. In the unlikely event of transit damage, inform the carrier and supplier. If damage has occurred, keep all packaging, as it can be used as evidence of excessive handling force.
