Apogee Jam+

Is anybody using Apogee Jam+ mobile audio interface?

I would appreciate any experience.

During lockdown, our band agreed to work on new songs remotely. I need to be able to record my bass to tracks received from the bandleader. I own PC (Windows 10).

Thank you.

I had one, but it was it was very noisy. Digital-sounding noise. I went back to my Focusrite even though it’s less “mobile.”
 
I use both a Jam+ and an Apogee One for iPad/Mac. I found the Jam+ to be exceptionally quiet and easy to use. The One, surprisingly, was noisier with 3 of my 4 basses. The noise appears more the result of my basses’ RF susceptibility than noise inherent in the interfaces. I contacted Apogee about this and was informed that the One and Jam+ have identical EMI filtering, but different input stages; One is op-amp based and Jam+ is discrete. So they may respond very differently to RF noise. In short, I really like both the One and Jam+ and would purchase them again. The Jam+ seems a good value for a person who needs only an instrument input.
