Outstanding, Chris! Looking forward to using these presets and seeing more of your vids. Much oblige to you. And yes, really digging your playing, m8!!
Happy to say that mine is coming Monday from GC. I preordered it online just last Wednesday, June 1. Tried Sweetwater but my sales rep said it was going to be available by the end of this month since they have quite a bit of a waiting list.
