Thanks for the kind words Andrew.
I CAN'T WAIT EITHER!!!!!
My problem with the OFF or Standby mode is that if it were put on the MODE selector, I'd have to jump through several positions to get to it. It was always something I never liked on my current Series II, because it's on the same switch as the pickup selector. Any OFF/Standby would have to be a separate two way switch that wouldn't change any control settings along the way. For this one, I don't think that amidst all the beautiful ebony knobs that a switch would fit in with the look. So I'll just leave it for the power supply.
By the way, I'm a HUGE Audioslave fan. I love everything that Chris Cornell ever did, from his days with Soundgarden, his solo stuff, and with Audioslave. He's a true genius.
