Apogee Electronics, a leader in digital audio recording since 1985, today announced the latest in its jam series of guitar interfaces: jamx. Building on the original jam interface from 2010, jamx provides the easiest way to connect your guitar to a computer or iOS device for studio-quality sound.
However, jamx adds a new feature unmatched by competitors: an analog compressor built right in. Apogee’s new jamx interface allows guitarists to plug in and get creating immediately with studio-grade sound and tone-shaping compression. Guitar enthusiasts will experience their instrument in a whole new way through jamx.
Built-in Analog Compressor
jamx's built-in analog compressor introduces an all-new feature to the jam family. Choose from 3 presets that respond to how much you drive the input gain. By applying compression before your virtual amp sim, you'll find new life in your guitar tone. With jamx, you'll have endless inspiration developing your own tone.
jamx's compressor lets you shape your clean tone. Responsive and musical, it adds sustain and balances your dynamics. Use it to fatten up single-coil pickups or tame humbuckers. With 3 modes—Smooth Leveler, Purple Squeeze, and Vintage Blue Stomp—you can go from subtle to extreme. However you use it, jamx's analog compressor will become essential to your tone.
Never Miss A Beat
Stay in the rhythmic pocket with Blend mode, allowing you to record with absolutely no vibe-killing latency (delay). To listen exclusively through your virtual amp software, turn off Blend with a click of a button.
Crank It Up
Whether recording your latest track or streaming music, jamx dramatically improves audio playback. With high-resolution sample rates up to 96 kHz and ample headroom, jamx delivers incredible clarity and volume to your headphones or powered speakers.
