I'm a touring bloke. Most of my time is spent at airports, in hotels and waiting around for a soundcheck which can be short if there's a number of acts on. Often after a show I may think something along the lines of, "That Bassman preset was lacking in the mids. I'm going to try a Triptik tomorrow night..." But I have to wait for the 20 minute soundcheck to jack a laptop into the Axe and reconfigure. That might not suit the rest of the band who aren't fussed about my technology and just want to get on with it as the clock is ticking. So I'm under pressure and the improvement may not happen at all.
But..
If I could sketch out the preset into Axe-Edit on my laptop beforehand it would be an enormous timesaver. I know what amps and cabs will put me in the ballpark, and which template, etc. Hell, most of the time I just need to change an amp or a cab in a working preset and that's it. But other times I may want to add a block here or there. Are you with me? All Axe-Edit would need is some sort of 'dummy' hardware, I guess, so I could make that sketch in the airport lounge or the bus or the hotel room or... And then load it up at the gig/soundcheck and tweak to taste.
Sketching with the ability to save. That's what I'd like.
Of course, if this facility is already onboard and I've missed it, then I'm an idiot and I apologise. If not, I'll bet it would be welcome.
