So got everything working!
Really appreciate the guidance.
I just wish I could alter the parameters/factory settings on the effects when they are called up. Kinda a bummer - for example, the Phasor only has a 22% mix on one of the factory settings - I would like to dial it up to 50% (which yes, I can do via MIDI, so probably a bad example - a better example would be Tremolo speed). Like the I did find the settings for each factory effect also vary by the type of amp you're using.
Anyone, its better than nothing!
