Apogee’s close working relationship with Apple usually means that the two companies’ hardware and software work together in perfect harmony. Jam is no exception.

On the surface, it’s similar to most other iOS guitar interfaces: hook it up to your iPad or iPhone 4’s dock connector and it offers a 1/4-inch instrument input, adjustable gain and soft limiting to help avoid overloading the input. The hidden bonus is that with a change of cable it’ll plug straight into your Mac’s USB port and function as an audio interface for GarageBand, Logic or any other Core Audio compatible application. It’s a neat added extra which helps to justify the price premium over other devices.
