Reviews for Apogee JAM Guitar Input

Thanks to the combination of the Apogee Jam and GarageBand for iPad.
I've been writing a lot more music. It's incredible how good the guitar signal and the amps sound with this set up. Thank you Apogee and Apple.

I first bought the Peavey Ampkit Link and I was not impressed because it is very noisy. I have just received the Jam and it is way superior. I use it with the Amkit App for iPad (which I recommend). With the Jam, the sound is so clean; no need for a Noise Gate. It does not require batteries. The light that tells you whether your input is too high makes setting it up very easy. It feels more sturdy too. It is more expensive but you get what you pay for. No doubt why Apple sells it and recommends it.

Originally I purchased an iRig with my new guitar and my New iPad. Problems matched those discussed in the Apple Support Community. I was able return the iRig and got the Jam. Excellent choice. Worth the difference in price.

Once I got it, I could not imagine any musician not having one!!!! A MUST HAVE!

Got Apogee JAM for Christmas and I LOVE it!! Had trouble connecting at first but I called Apogee and they walked me through updating the firmware. It was a pretty painless process!! Working great now and the sound quality is unreal! I can't believe I'm getting these tones on my iPhone!!!! Hahaha..... don't know how I'm gonna get any work done now! Tried connecting one of my keyboards last night and it worked too!! Now I'm on a mission to try connecting all of my different gear! Best Christmas present I've gotten in years!

For medical education, I've been missing a way to digitally record heart sounds from my thinklabs stethoscope. as the iPhone audio input cuts off low frequencies, which are part of those sounds. The JAM has an excellent low frequency response, and combined easily with the peavey ampkit for recording.

I say it is a little exspensive but it is completely worth it. I took it out of the box plugged it into my guitar then into my iPad and it was crazy good. If u are using garage band like me, if you explore the app itself, you can make it sound perfect. With sooooo many options.

I have used this interface for both Guitars and Bass Guitars. It's got fantastic sound far superior than interfaces I've used in the past. On the negative side, it does not have direct hardware play through. However, performance with a modern Mac should make this less of an issue and a nonissue for most...

I just received my JAM today, plugged it into my MAC and played. Simple to use and it sounds great. Functions like a direct box for your computer. Outstanding product.

I just plugged the JAM in and couldn't believe how easy it was! Wow! It works perfectly with my iPad, iPhone and my Macbook Pro as well. I was getting sick of trying to play on little keys or strings! Keep up the great work!
