A quick way to bypass FX blocks, while tracking problems?

I have been using the PEQ block to eliminate overloads in some presets after
changing Warmth and Thump levels (a result of updating to v 9.00). I am
doing OK with it but some presets are problems and require bypassing all
blocks but the basics. Other than reducing the level of all FX's or assigning
IA Bypass to each, does anyone know another way a quick way to take
them in and out of your chain while testing for the problem overload area??

Just turn down the main mix level or the amp block level. Individual effects don't clip, it clips at the D/A converters.
 
I am not sure why this happened, but on two of my presets (Alberts Blues and
Compressed Rhythm) I was getting an overload on some bass notes. Now they are not the loudest of presets. I did use PEQ, GEQ, Amp lo cut, reducing Amp level and
final mix level (both way down). Levels were so low as to be way out of line with my
other high gain amp presets (which were not overloading).

Well go figure... :? This week I loaded Red Wirez for the first time and changed
cabs on the two offending presets, and now, no ovewrload. I even brought the
levels in the amps back up to! I did not have anything way out of regular cab
settings so why the improvement with a change of cabs???
