Jam Bumanlag is one of the most sought-after Filipino guitarists today, known for his cutting tone, dynamic phrasing, and powerful modern playing across rock and metal genres. As a founding member of the FX-pedals-based band EVEN, the 2008 Red Horse Muziklaban Grand Champion and Rakista Records artist, Jam continues to raise the bar for tone-driven performance.
His unmatched control over effects pedals—on stage and in gear demo videos—has made him a respected figure among musicians, gearheads, and tone chasers. Jam has also played session guitars for top Philippine acts like Slapshock, Wilabaliw, and P.O.T., bringing his signature sound and precision to every project.
A true tone architect, Jam is the founder and admin of #PedalboardPH, the largest and most informative gear-focused community in the country. His influence extends across platforms as a Boss & Roland Global Artist, JCraft Guitars Signature Artist, DR Strings Artist, and featured IBox Musical Artist.
Jam is the first official Montances Custom Pickup Artist, collaborating closely with Mong Montances to develop the Montances KAG OVERWOUND Bridge Pickup – Jam Bumanlag Signature. Designed for players who demand clarity, power, and versatility, the KAG OVERWOUND features a bold AlNiCo 8 bar magnet, high-output 16.8k winding, and 5-conductor wiring for custom mods—all handcrafted in the Philippines for players around the world.
