5.0 out of 5 stars You're Gonna Love This Thing!, November 30, 2009

Not a lot of products excite me like this one did. I'm not sure what to say that hasn't already been said on the JamHub website or by others who've reviewed the JamHub. Practicing with others through the JamHub is the same quality as listening to and practicing to an MP3 or CD. Plus there won't be any more volume wars and no chance of making your family or neighbors crazy with your music...or chaotic noise (as you learn a new song). Even better was getting very quick email responses from the nice folks at JamHub. That alone sold me on this product and this company. You can't say that about all the big companies who make music. Some can't be bothered to return calls or answer email. Buy a JamHub and you won't be disappointed. A great investment for practice or jamming with others!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for quiet practice, not for touring..., November 3, 2011

I just had my first band practice with my JamHub GreenRoom, and these are my initial impressions.

Pro(s):

1. It was simple to use, requiring no/minimal use of the "quick start" guide.
2. Practice went later than normal because we didn't worry about the neighbors calling the cops.
3. Once I got the hang of using the levels, then adjusting overall volume, it made for an EXCELLENT mix.
4. The effects were plenty good for practice, and good enough for recording scratch tracks.

Con(s):

1. There is no power button. I'm not sure why this bothers me, but it does.
2. The power cable connector is flimsy and the cable doesn't "seat" well. It comes out far too easily and doesn't really feel like it's in, even when it is.
3. No independent adjustment of effect level per singer. It's not a deal breaker, but I thought I should mention it (see workaround from (4) for why this came up).
4. The stereo inputs require purchasing of at least 2 mono-to-stereo adapters in my case. They're only $3 each, but out of the box, you're not ready to go (you can get around this by mic'ing an amp at low volume and using an XLR input but this defeats the silent practice promise).
5. No ability to modify volume of the singer on channel 1 independent of his guitar. Workaround would be to use an extra input for vocals, but there aren't that many inputs. The dual-knobs would have been nice here.

Verdict:

Buy one. The build quality isn't up to snuff for a $500 item so you may have to treat it with a little extra TLC. I'm just not sure that it will last due to the cheap feeling knobs and flimsy power connector. But... even with the gripes I have, I can still wholeheartedly recommend it. Our practice went smoothly, everybody got their mix, my singer LOVED that he didn't have to yell to hear himself, and I could finally hear the bass without shaking my neighbors windows.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific - just what was needed for rehearsals in my home studio, October 28, 2011

Rehearsals are so much better when the musicians can set their own mix, and that's what the JamHub is built to do. For my band, the combination of the JamHub with isolation headphones makes rehearsing with a live acoustic drum kit in a small room bearable and productive. The Green Room has worked for me without a hitch. Even recording directly to a computer via the USB output works great (although the connector on the Green Room isn't the same as most standard USB cables, such cables are readily available). Check out the user forums on the JamHub website, where questions are answered, ideas are shared etc.

My criticisms are that the cords for the remotes should be a few feet longer. The available third-party extension cables for these appear either unreliable (from the customer reviews) and/or expensive. Also, the system could have a louder output to the headphones, but that's probably a characteristic that could save my bandmates' hearing in the long run.
