Yup...see my last response with my own clip. I'm way ahead of you, just a 
picky SOB.
Of course, I dislike the Roland JC-120. I used to use one...the tone may 
be 
clean, but
it is sterile and rigid in my opinion. I prefer something like an old 
Fender 
blackface or Deluxe,
1X12 combo, but with a higher wattage speaker (like a JBL or EV), and some 
tubes
more condisive to darker, fuller tone.

Agreed.

No apologies necessary. Again, I've been doing tests like this for some 
time 
now, trying
to get a good jazz tone on my laptop. The sound clip I sent is my best 
shot. 
Adding
the FW400 may just satisfy me, as I'll be giving a cleaner and higher 
quality input to
the Booogex amp sim.
