question for cliff or the team at FAS

question about amp default settings when changing amps in preset

it appears to me that when i change an amp in a particular preset, that the 'new' amp retains the settings from the replaced amp of the existing preset. is this accurate, and how do i get the factory preferred settings to pop up when the amp is changed? thanks
