Implemented Quick Access to Amp Block Tone Parameters

The one thing that I have found in the AxeIII interface that could use improvement is quick access to the amp block's basic parameters. I'm actually shocked that it went through beta testing without this being identified as a needed function (maybe it was identified and is already slated to be addressed in a future update).

Current state:
To access the Amp Block's Tone page takes the following steps from the Home page:
1. Press the C-button (Layout)
2. Navigate to the Amp block (Potentially several clicks of the Nav buttons)
3. Press the Edit button to access the Amp Type page
4. Press the Page right button to access the Amp Tone page

This process took 10 keystrokes using the factory Deluxe Tweed preset. Depending on the location of the Amp block on the grid, and the last position of the "active" block, it could take more, or fewer clicks of the Nav buttons.

Desired State:
There is not a function assigned for pushing the A-button on the Home page. I suggest programming the A-button press to be a direct shortcut to the amp block "Tone" page.

I understand that some presets may have two amp blocks. Is it possible to define a double-click function for pressing the buttons? A double click of the A-button could take us to the tone page of the Amp2 block.

Thanks for considering this request.

This a good one . I know Fas mentioned having those 5 encoders globally programmable ,so perhaps your idea of pressing the A
could enter that mode where you have 5 knobs with both turn and then push to access a second set of parameters
then you could have things like Gain Bass, Mid, Treble ,Presence , Depth ,Master Level, ReverbMix, DLYmix ,Fxmix available across all presets Fast

Maybe make the global labels/ names above the knobs color green so you know you are in that mode
 
I have my II set up so the X/Y quick control buttons take me straight to the Amp block. Glad this is on the to-do list!

In the meantime, if it works like in the axe II and ax8, just pressing edit from the main screen takes you to the first block in the chain, press it again and you'll go to the second block, press it again and you'll be on the third.. and so on.

It does work that way on the Axe III. Pressing EDIT from the Home screen will take you directly to the block position that you last edited.
