Beta testers & new owners... factory presets?

[CenturyBreak]

We know the III has 512 preset slots, but how many factory presets are included, at launch anyway?

384

I need to fire up one of those Arduino kits and create an Alexa controllable device that let's me say "Alexa, next preset" or "Alexa, go to preset 381". Because reaching over and turning a knob is just too much work.

I would get an Alexa but I hear it's just one more thing that would laugh at me.

Many bands have either a 2nd set of mics or a routing switch to communicate w/ each other and/or the board but not go out thru the speakers... you could have the same thing to connect to the Axe... "Alexa, I need more boost. Melt Faces!"

I'm just imagining some vindictive singer belting out "Alexa Mute" just before the guitar solo.

I hope Cooper Carters MarkIV that he did the demo with is in there , that rocked unless it was just a preset

it would also be really cool also IMO if they had some artist presets like Holcomb HBE that had the scenes like in his gain staging video with scene 1 being the most open for big chords then scene 2 more gated and so on , the sounds he was getting in his vid was great as well

Cooper Carter made an 8 scene “Petrucci Rig”
Preset that is awesome Factory Preset. Many factory presets have multiple scenes.

How about an Alex Lifeson rig preset?
