The stomp box has gradually become the ally of musicians who want to enrich a set without adding a drummer: one foot tap, and the pulse comes alive. Logjam fits into this "instrument" logic rather than a simple accessory, with a design focused on playing feel and bass drum sound: a present low end, clear attack, and dynamics that follow your nuances.
Primarily adopted by acoustic and electric guitarists to mark beats, create accents, and thicken arrangements, the Logjam stomp box also finds its place with cajon players, percussionists, and multi-instrumentalists. It is ideal for live use (to provide an immediate rhythmic foundation) as well as in the studio (to double a pulse, add an organic "thump," or reinforce a picking passage).
Plug it into an acoustic amplifier or a sound system, then work on the equalization: more bass, less mids and highs, to bring the sound closer to a bass drum. Tip: try different shoes, as sole hardness strongly influences attack and roundness.
The Logjam is designed to be intuitive: place your foot, play. The board extension naturally allows for heel playing, useful for alternating accents, varying intensities, or holding a pulse longer without fatigue. Its rubber non-slip surface secures the foot placement and improves consistency, even when playing energetically.
Its extremely sensitive character is a major asset: depending on where you strike and the force applied, you can go from a round, deep low end to a sharper attack. The result: a stomp box that reacts like a percussion instrument, not just a simple trigger.
The Logjam delivers an organic, woody, and percussive sound, with a clearly bass drum-oriented identity. The sapele provides a warm base, while the passive sensor's dynamics reveal your touch: ghost notes with the foot, marked accents, steady pulse, or more syncopated playing. For optimal sound, favor an amplifier or sound system capable of properly reproducing low frequencies: a system that is too small tends to thin out the "kick" and reduce impact.
