So I took a good listen, several times in fact, to the audio examples of both Jazz and Blues presets. I was impressed by the Jazz examples; I will probably buy it. I was not impressed at all with the Blues presets for Roots Sticks; they sounded muffled, highly damped. I will stick with strait Roots or any of the EZD Vintage, Classic, Americana and Nashville kits and just dial it in. I love both of my Roots SDXs (my favorite SDXs), but this blues preset is just not to my taste--of course this is a personal preference--just my 2cents.
