Thanks very much. My plan was to build a preset on a song by song basis. Build the preset with adequate scenes to work through a song.Read the section on Spillover in the manual. That covers spillover between presets, and that's needed to accomplish that.
While preset switching is fast on the III, changing sounds through scenes (within a single preset) is often faster. And spillover is largely automatic. The section in the manual about preset spillover and the global Spillover parameter do not apply to scenes. As Rex writes, the Bypass Mode parameter is most important here.
Regarding switching channels: almost everything happens almost instantly, except amp channel switching. That requires a bit of time, no way around that, due to the way things are modeled. Just time things well or let reverb or delay ring out ...
Most of the tracks have clean sections then have to jump into an overdriven sound. If the clean delays from the verse for example allow the amp channel change seem smoother with an ambient spillover then that’s all good.
Some of the delay parts are integral to the part and letting them naturally decay into the next part which would be a straight up crunch tone is pretty important to me.
I realise there are controllers and modifiers which could raise and lower an amp gain to achieve a cleanish tone right through to a high gain tone. I want the ability to use two specific amps though where required. Ideally a fender clean and an orange crunch for example. Or a Vox clean and a Bogner crunch. You get the idea.
I think I need to ideally find some sound examples on YouTube or ideally try the setup for myself. I’m currently on the Uk waiting list.
