Jim Campilongo is a guitar player on the artist roster of JAM Pedals. The maker carries him among the guitar players named on its product pages, and those pages credit him with an unusually wide slice of the company's line: the Chill, the Red Muck mk.2, the Wahcko, the Harmonious Monk mk.2, the Dyna-ssoR, and the Delay Llama, each in several finishes123456.
Alongside those credits, JAM Pedals carries two quoted comments from him. One is a general endorsement of the brand; the other is a specific account of setting a Rockabilly slap back echo on the Delay Llama, which he compares to the tape echo he used before78.
Jim Campilongo and JAM Pedals
JAM Pedals lists Campilongo on its artist pages, and his name appears on the product pages of a large share of the company's catalog. The credits run across the maker's main pedal lines rather than a single model: he is named on the Delay Llama, and on the Chill, Red Muck, Wahcko, Harmonious Monk and Dyna-ssoR families in many of their painted finishes9101112131415161718.
The full set of pedals JAM Pedals credits to him:
| Pedal | Finish or version | Credit |
|---|---|---|
| Chill | standard, "Tetris", "Steampunk", "Achenbach", "Summer Afternoon", "Amethyst", "Hand in Hand", "Bliss!", "Relic" | 21011121419151718 |
| Red Muck mk.2 | standard, "White Mountaintops", "Lunar Muck", "Feline" | 931316 |
| Red Muck | "Relic", "Achenbach" | 2021 |
| Wahcko | "Metal", "Loading Dock", "Silver Sky" | 42223 |
| Harmonious Monk mk.2 | standard | 5 |
| Dyna-ssoR | "Lunar Trails" | 6 |
| Delay Llama | Delay Llama, "Achenbach" Delay Llama mk.3 | 18 |
These credits come from JAM Pedals' own product pages, each of which names him among that pedal's guitar players and links to his artist page. The maker does not describe his full rig, signal chain, amps or guitars on those pages.
In his own words
The comment JAM Pedals carries across his artist credits is short and general:
"I love JAM pedals and they remain among my favorites -ever."
His longer quoted comment is about the Delay Llama, and it is the one place where he describes actually dialing in a sound. He says he set a Rockabilly slap back quickly, that it sounded organic and close to his old tape Echoplex without the tape noise, and that the three-knob layout made the setting easy to find:
"I quickly dialed up a Rockabilly slap back that sounded very organic, very similar like my old tape Echoplex (without the squeaking analog tape!)."
That quote also names two other pieces of his setup in passing: a tape Echoplex he used before the Delay Llama, and a Line 6 unit he found harder to set a slap back on8. Those are his own comparisons, made in the maker's artist-page text, and they are the only references to non-JAM gear tied to him in his JAM Pedals credits.
A broad association
The breadth of the credits is itself notable. A player named on the standard Chill and Red Muck mk.2 as well as on eight painted Chill finishes, three painted Red Muck mk.2 finishes, two Red Muck finishes, three Wahcko finishes, the Harmonious Monk mk.2, the "Lunar Trails" Dyna-ssoR and the Delay Llama is shown by the maker as one of its most broadly associated artists923456. Whether that reflects a large rotating pedalboard or a long relationship with the company across many years is not something the product pages say.
