Indeed, I'm running my Line 6 Pod XT Pro thru it, all models and combinations sound fantastic. Drummer is running some Roland V Drums, both guitarists are running rack gear, even the vocalist is running thru a processor - it's all good on the JamHub...
Depending on your amp, just don't plug in your speaker cab. That's what we do here @ the space. Both our guitarists use Line 6 heads/cabs, and they plug in through the xlr out on the back, and then go directly into the jam head through an xlr -> TRS adapter, or direct into the XLR input, if we don't have an adapter handy.
This thing is amazingly awesome, and has helped our practices become much more efficient. The ability to send out a recording mix into a recording device (we run into an AVID Mbox into Protools) and record everything you do during the course of practice, at a quality that isn't the same as hanging a mic in the center of the room or similar is awesome.

I know this is an old thread, but we've been using this guy in three different bands for a few months and it is awesome.
My guitar player friend was already struggling with double processing in his sound, since he was going from the Line 6 Pod X3 to his Marshall amp. Now he just goes straight to JamHub for rehearsals, and replaced his Marshall by a Tech 21 Power Engine for live situations when he has to have an amp. Same tone everywhere!
But I got it for my own vocals sake, since I could not hear myself in the middle of the feedback caused by a loud band in a small room. And it was the best musical investment I have made.
Originally I thought it was only good for electronic drums, but no: you can mic your drum kit to a mixer and then send the stereo output to a JamHub input. Sounds great! When you're wearing headphones, very little bleeds in from the acoustic kit.
As for me, the bassist, I have had great success with getting the line out from my Genz Benz Shuttle 9 and Streamliner 900, as well as the Radial Bassbone and the John East STMP-01 preamp. I have used an XLR-TRS cable as well as direct XLR to a mic input. Works fine either way.
Can't say enough about JamHub. "I've seen the future and it works."

We used the JamHub TourBus for the first time at rehearsal last night and I'm in love. Great little product! I did a quick on the fly mix and recorded a few songs on the JamHub's SD card and it came out sounding great. Easily good enough to use as a demo as needed and plenty good enough to capture ideas.
I ran my bass through my GK MB800 and out the DI out into the JamHub. The guitar player had a direct recording XLR out on his amp head as well and ran that into the JamHub. For drums, we put a mic between the hi hat and snare and another one on the kick. Then setup 4 vocal mics and they picked up the rest of the drums along with the vocals. I put a splash of reverb on the vocals. Sounded great in the headphones.
When playing with acoustic drums with the JamHub, good headphones are key it seems. I am using the Vic Firth Sound Isolating headphones and the lead singer is using the Extreme Sound EX-29 isolation headphones. Both of those worked well last night. The drummer and guitar player had some non sound isolating headphones and they struggled a bit getting a good in ear mix. They are both planning on upgrading their headphones at this point.
Another great part is with everyone having vocal mics and vocal mics is that we can talk to each during the song. Call changes, direct solos, call breaks, etc. Also listening to practice like its a CD in headphones, you can catch every missed note, chord, harmony, rhythm, etc. and fix them on the spot. Not to mention everyone can listen back to clear recordings of the rehearsal right after the song ends or the next day to find trouble spots and improve them. Very cool.
