Perfect for Midnight Practice Sessions

The jam+ is worth its weight in gold.

I play electric guitar at church and don't usually have time to rehearse music until late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, so I'll hook my guitar up to the jam+ and link both into my iPhone so I get a realistic tone to practice with while avoiding waking up the rest of the house.

I usually run the jam+ through BIAS FX 2. The default clean tone in BIAS FX 2 is great, and I can click the knob on on the jam+ to switch between clean and overdrive sounds.

I've also gotten some really cool tones running the jam+ through Apple's garage band software.

I've owned my jam+ since last year, but I wish I would've gotten it sooner.

This Interface Is Exactly What I Was Looking For

I'm a bassist and was looking for something simple to get my bass sound into my iPhone for GarageBand (through the Audio Recorder function) and Acapella collaborations with my band mates, and this does a great job. I go from my bass through a Darkglass Hyper Luminal compression pedal and then the Aguilar Tone Hammer pre-amp straight into the Apogee Jam+, and then out to the iPhone. Very simple to use. I'm no audio engineer (nor do I want to be), but I think the sound is great. In addition to acting as an interface, you can use it for practice while wearing headphones, and you can also use it to capture ideas for basslines in GarageBand. I also connected my BeatBuddy Mini pedal to the Apogee Jam+ and into the iPhone to lay down a drum track. Finally, I really appreciate that this device powers off of the iPhone - I owned another interface that required me to buy a separate USB power hub and the iPhone camera kit device to get the sound into the iPhone or iPad - just too many wires. I did not find the Apogee Jam+ to be especially draining on the iPhone battery. I think this product is designed especially to be used with an iPhone or iPad, it is pretty seamless to connect up and start using. I hope my experience helps you figure out if this is the right interface for you!

Cool gadget

I have a loaded pedal board and lots of effects on my amp but wanted an interface so I could use Tonebridge with the Ultimate Guitar app to get authentic sound without hours of trial and error. I practice alone and don't know too many songs but when using the Apogee Jam + I felt like I was playing with the original artists and every time I screwed up I could imagine them giving me what for. Peer pressure is a powerful motivator . I use it with my iPhone 11 and headphones or plugged into the auxiliary jack on my amp. Thanks to my sales engineer Cody for recommending this model. It's sturdy, compact and lightweight. I only wish I bought it before I spent a fortune on my rig.

Works pretty seamlessly

Got this Apogee Jam+ to use guitar training apps with my electric guitar, iphone and headphones so as not to antagonize others in the house with my noise. It does the job. So far I've only used it with the iOS Uberchord app and Garageband, so I won't speak to the more sophisticated merits. It is very solid-feeling. I selected it partially because it's small. Though in retrospect, the small size doesn't seem to matter much for me, because in use, it's got 3 cables coming out of it connecting it to three other objects which dominate the space consumed. The small size would make it easy to stick in guitar case for travel. I use it while sitting down, but I guess if I were using it standing up, I'd want to find some way to secure it so that it doesn't inadvertently yanked off the desktop by a tug on the instrument cable. Or maybe I'd leave it on the carpet. Controls are simple... a gain knob that is also a push-button to activate/de-activate distortion and a separate button that activates the monitor port so that you can listen through headphones. Simple to use. Connect to iphone. Start the app and it should recognize the external device within a few seconds and ask if you want to use the device with the app. I'd buy it again.
