Jam Head is a portable headphone amplifier, and mixer, for electric stringed instruments, and many others with a single preamplifier, pickup or output.

  

Jam Head has a range of uses besides, but the aim is that a musician can listen to a mixture of an instrument and a practice recording, on headphones without need of external power.

     

Jam Head is a quality product designed and manufactured in Great Britain.

Jam Head is designed to meet the needs of amateurs and professionals alike.

Jam Head;

  • Produces a high quality riot in your head, but not outside your hotel room.
  • Is lightweight and small. It fits inside your case like a combo amplifier won't.
  • Has internal power;

    • Runs on four AAA NiMH rechargable batteries, twice the life of an equivalent displacement 9V battery.
    • Until you need to charge the batteries, there is no need for a world power adaptor.
    • On a sunny day you can easily (and safely) use it in the garden.
    • Can operate from a 9v DC regulated external supply - the same as your effects pedals.


  • Is exceptionally rugged. If needs be, it can hang out with your effects pedals, on the floor.
  • Doesn't have to be used with a practice recording. You can just use it with an instrument.
  • Can have all your existing effects plugged into it.
  • Drives any normal 30Ω headphones.
  • Has a buffered instrument output.
  • Is fully analogue, with rich and full low frequency response.


The instument output, is a simple concept but gives significant flexibility.

  • The buffer can drive a long cable to a large amplifier better than passive pickups could directly.
  • It can be used to drive a string tuner, when headphones are in use.
  • In a studio or stage situation;

    • Line in can be driven from the "desk mix".
    • The instrument output can still drive the mixing desk.
    • Jam Head can be used as a "more me" for either an instrument, or for a simple ¼" TS microphone.
