| The JamPod looks cool too for mixing your guitar with tunes on the iPod. |

How does it sound directly out of a lap steel? I have found that a lot of the little amps can't handle the signal and are too overdriven (bad experience with the Ampuplugandplay model.)
I have also asked at various guitar stores and they always caution that little amps won't work for lap steels. |

Maybe I just 'lucked' out on the one I bought 2 years ago, but it was nothing but squealing distortion (and not the good kind...), except at unusably/tone sucking low vol.
I'd thot it would have been pretty cool otherwise.
I'll be interested in the verdict as well, per the steel/user review. |

| Well, I used the JamPlugFM with a Rickenbacher horseshoe p/u, and listen to the signal through a Sony Walkman radio and also my home receiver. The sound was very clean--not incredibly loud in this case (the amp is in the radio). I haven't tried the JamPlug yet, but I eagerly await it. |

I have a jampod and its biggest problem is that the pickups on my steels need some serious attenuation to get a clean sound. It does come in handy though.

| Yes, the JamPlug is very difficult to harness, and like Bob said, you've got to cut the volume down, way down. The JamPlug FM is cool, though. I'll keep both. |
