If it doesn't, you can manually select it by going to GarageBand \> Preferences \> Audio, and setting it as your input/output: ![Garageband Jam +](https://knowledge.apogeedigital.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Asserts/Jam+/Garageband%20Jam%20+.png?width=688&height=409&name=Garageband%20Jam%20+.png) After that, you can make a new Audio track, and select the Guitar/Bass option: From this window, you can also enable Input Monitoring, by checking the "I want to hear my instrument as I play and record" box. This will let you listen back to your instrument through the GarageBand Amplifier in real-time, letting you record or practice with these amp sims.
