In my opinion is one of the best amps for a new guitar player out there. The range of tones and effects and jam tracks and the ability to record is a awsome package. It's 400.00 giving you 100 to put into a better guiter if you wish. It also allows 2 instruments to be plugged into it at the same time. So a friend can come by with just a guitar and a chord, you can both jplay through it. If you don't have a friend coming by, you can plug a mic in and sing as you play through it.
Check out some youtube vid's on the jam, it runs 75 watts through a 12" speaker. So it gets loud enough to jam with friends and drummers and still be heard.
About a year ago I did some reasearch and playing through different amps. The Jam is what I bought and for what want it/use it for I'm still very happy with it.
