Apogee Electronics JAM X ANALOG AMP Reviews

Great sound & build

By Leonardo
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-12-06

This little device is easy to use and has great clean sound. Plugged it into tone bridge to practice and was set to go! Built on a metal case it’s study. Not too happy about the middle button as it’s rubbery and doesn’t provide good feedback but not a big deal. Wish it had a USB-C instead of micro USB and could have used another amp output rather than just a headphone jack.
