The only problem is that Fenders often don't sound like Fenders, either.
Really, there are only a couple of distinctly Fender sounds, primarily the accidental out-of-phase positions on the Strat and the distinctly "country" Telecaster twang - and the ability of individual Fender instruments to duplicate these trademark sounds varies widely.
Other than that, I can't tell Fenders from any number of other guitars, and you can't either. The other less distinctive settings sound pretty generic, and I seriously doubt anyone could pass a blindfold test on this.
I have no doubt that any number of guitars sound like a Strat with the middle pickup on, for example, or vice-versa, especially if you are _trying_ to duplicate sounds.

Maybe you should have bought a J-Station.
Honestly, with a bit of tweaking in J-Edit, their Tweed models sound relatively convincing to me, and I've had fairly extensive experience with early Fender amps, starting with my pre-Tweed 1949 Pro which I will restore as soon as I can get some cloth made for it.

Fenders cool, But !!
I new a guy who new a guy.....no names
after spending some time with the band and laughing at the lead singer for playing a "citation" accoustic, he procedded to go on stage between sets and play some amaaaaazing blues slide guitar.
the moral of the story is....If you like it, Play it.

The newest pieces of equipment I own is my instrument cable and strings....other than that, everything is pretty much vintage or old depending on how you look at it.
Everybody needs to remember this: Just becuase it says Fender, Gibson, or C.F. Martin on the headstock does not mean it's a better instrument. If you like it, buy it. And again, there is no way in Hell a brand new Ibanez sounds like my vintage Tele.
