I bought one of these a couple of months ago and use it for home recording.
It's a very impressive little unit and does have some very nice clean tones,
but think along the lines of Stevie Ray Vaughan or Andy Summers from the
Police days rather than Jimmy Bruno or Kenny Burrell. I've found you have to
dial in some effect such as reverb/delay/chorus before the thing starts to
sound good - and this may not be what you're after. Also, the J-Station is
very versatile with lots of heavily distorted rock and roll sounds, acoustic
sounds, and even some bass amp models to choose from. If you're after just
one sound it seems a shame not to spend all your money on just that sound
(then again I'm not aware of anything similar on the market targeted to the
jazz sound). I did manage to get what I thought was a reasonable jazz sound
out of it once, but it took quite a bit of experimenting and tweaking,
whereas good rock and blues sounds are easy to get right out of the box.

I can't compare it to the POD as I haven't tried one, but I noticed that Ted
Vieira, who regularly contributes to this list mentions the POD on the
equipment list on his web site - maybe he'll have some comments?

Anyway - I don't think it's the ideal unit for direct recording a good jazz
sound, but it's not too shabby and you may well find it's about the best
you'll get in this sort of thing anyway. Hope this helps.
