Ready to rock -- Status and level indication

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.

Jam status and level meters

Blue - Jam is connected but not ready, Green - Jam is read more connected, ready and working with your software, Red - your level is too high.

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.

"Get this"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Was using an iRig (which is a neat sub-$40 gizmo) but the sound was very noisy. Plus, it didn't plug into my mac. Decided to take a chance on this unit...OMG...the sound is crystal clean..no matter what volume. None of the garbage noise you get from units that plug into an iPad's or iPhone's headphone jack. With garageband (on Mac or iPad) this thing is awesome!
