Ready to rock – Status and level indication
Crank it up and dial it in with easy level control
JAM features an input gain control knob. This rotary style wheel is conveniently located on the side of JAM for easy thumb access and allows you to dial in the level of your guitar without accessing software.
It’s easy to tell if JAM is connected properly by the status LED on the top panel. If it’s green, you are ready to rock and the light becomes your input level indicator. If it turns red, you are rocking too hard and you need to turn your gain down with the control knob.
- Blue - JAM is connected but not ready
- Green - JAM is connected, ready and working with your software
- Red - your level is too high.
Easily connect JAM to your iPad, iPhone or Mac

Customer Reviews
Pro Gear for cheap"With Lion and iLife 11, GarageBand and Apogee JAM marry perfectly. Latency is non existent. Gain is adjustable on the hardware. GarageBand covers all other functions. It has a small hardware footprint and a small software print also, there is none. Use it with Logic, GarageBand, any software. Try it!!!"
Robert from Guitar Center |
Great Practice Interface"I couldn't be happier with the money I spent on this interface. It's very mobile and when I travel it's great for practice and getting down ideas. It works very good with Ampkit which was developed by Peavy but the add-ons can get pricy. For what the jam is intended for, it won't let you down."
Madseason from Musicians Friend |
Fantastic Product!"Worked without a flaw on a iphone 4s. Used with Garageband and Daw Multitrack. It's great that it sets itself up and that you can control the input level. Very clean and no latency issues whatsoever. You will be happy with this product. Price seems reasonable too."
Frank from Sweetwater |
Great fidelity for recording heart sounds too!"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."
TB from Mountain Top |
Amazing writing/jamming device"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."
SR from North Hollywood |
Absolutely LOVE it!"The title says it all. I love my Apogee JAM. I am also a huge proponent of Agile Partner/Peavey's AmpKit, which this works perfectly with. However, if you plug it in while using AmpKit, you'll have to close and open the app. No big deal, though. Also, compared to the Amplitube iRig I used to have, the sound quality difference is phenomenally better..."
MS from CHURCH HILL |
Skip the iRig & AmpKit...get the JAM!"Out of the box simple! Plug one end into the iPad dock port and your guitar in the JAM input and off you go. Has a handy input level control with colored LED's to let you know if output signal gets too hot.Plugged in my Tele and was recording a song in GarageBand in minutes. Sound quality was excellent... "
Brian from New Orleans |
Small size, Big sound"I surprised how easy this was to plug into my iPad2 and record into garageband. The should quality of the amps in G'band with the Jam rivaled any pedal effects pluggin I've used to date. Great investment for another way of getting your guitar into the digital realm."
