Apogee has announced the Jam+, a portable USB instrument input and output audio interface. Jam+ connects your electric guitar, bass, keyboard or any acoustic instrument with a pickup, directly to your iOS device, Mac, or Windows PC. You can also connect a dynamic microphone with an adapter (sold separately).
Connect any instrument-level input you can imagine to your computer or iOS device using Jam+. Synth and keyboard, electric guitar and bass, dynamic microphone and acoustic instrument with a pickup – it all works with Jam+. Drive Mode gives you that responsive amp and pedal feel from subtle to snarling distortion and makes virtual amps and fx sound more like the real thing. Transform your pristine direct signal into a rich, warm overdrive that can provide everything from a clean boost to a thick distortion in the tradition of the most coveted vintage amps and stompboxes. Dialing up Drive Mode also makes your favorite virtual amps and effects sound much more realistic. Drive Mode gives you great tone for direct, zero-latency recording.
