Just like my Jazzster patch from last night, sometimes I like to sit in a pocket where the synth doesn't overwhelm you, and you may not even notice it. I especially like this for jazzy playing as some distinctive pad sounds (such as high string synths) sound trite to me in jazz, as they have been overdone on too many Smooth Jazz recordings IMHO.

In this case, there is no mistaking the pad background but it has rolling modulations that never allow the synths to quite take front stage. The guitar has the dual low-midrange boosts I like for jazz guitar, backed off somewhat from my Jazzster patch because they were a bit too boxy sounding through a small amp.
