I actually don't have the Scene Ignore set just yet, but yes, many of my presets have different Amp models on different channels. Each one is setup like a pedal platform and I could swap the active amp model and the preset still works but has a little different flavor.
Global blocks?
Yes they are global blocks. Does that not translate over?
No. you should either share your System Data file (with FractalBot), or unlink all Global Blocks before exporting to disk
To your first point. MAN what i would give to be able to assign LED colors to channels. I miss this with the ax8 old X/Y. It was very easy to determine what channel i was on from afar.The main issue with kitchen sink presets is that there is no way to quickly see the list of what is in your blocks.
You have to remember that Channel A is Klon, B is whatever else, etc. Now, if I'd build a kitchen sync preset, I'd like to have two drive blocks and 8 different distortion pedals, but no way in hell I can remember what's in all channels. Now add compressors, delays, reverbs...
A proper "kitchen sync" preset is not possible without the channel content information, but you can't see it as a list even in editor apps, which is something very easy to do! I don't know why this is not implemented. That would be an insanely huge quality of life improvement but still we are not there. Even more so, the device doesn't even show the channel details when you switch to the channel!
So for my kitchen sync preset I am using scenes as descriptions for channel information instead of actually having those scenes used, and switches as channel switches (short press enable/disable, long press channel change). It's a shame really. It works for me but not a proper way at all. Still, I don't have a better advice so far. It kinda works.
You can use scenes for both options really - say, 8 scenes for 8 drives (IF you need it like this), with eight compressors, different kind of delays and reverbs for funk comp, rock chug, blues/rock/metal soloing instead of typical "scene 2 adds more gain", plus a separate switch layouts to control gapeless gain increase or EQ changes using scene controllers etc., and a single preset can be as huge in utility as those John Mayer mega-boards
But I don't have a good advice on how to remember how to actually use it!)
THIS.
even that would be cool. I dont think its 4 individual LED's though. Im also barely an armchair engineer here.
why the parallel flanger/pitch/chorus/Delay?This is how i run ,y presets, I found when i had 6 scans i only ever used 3 so i streamlined it down and went per preset so effects can be easily swapped out for different things. Flow for me personally is much better now.
Couple of shots of my layouts
They are not separated... This has been asked and answered in the past.
I always run parallel after the Amp/Cab, (If I wanted to adjust the mix I would use an EXP pedal), I don't like everything feeding into each other, the delay in series is just for a little sauce on my crunch. The Filter is set for a slight DB boost on the Lead
where can i find these? any in particular youd recommend?
I agree, but I do not think this can be done with space it may have. Otherwise I think he would have done this already. No doubt the Axe Fx IV will have this and a lot more!
For performance, you could use custom labels in FC-6/12 or your midi controller, ie mild, grit, crunch, heavy, etc., or delay channels like slap, echo, spacey, U2…
I’d wonder if you really need 8 different kinds of compression. For a kitchen sink preset to get through a gig, I think it’s probably better to have 3-4 general sounds that cover the bases, without trying to exactly match each song. I have 4 sounds: clean, chime (Brit pop), crunch, and heavy (metal style). I typically end up stuck on the chime sound all night. Just changing your right hand attack can significantly change the actual sound you get, and this is often enough to create variations between songs.The main issue with kitchen sink presets is that there is no way to quickly see the list of what is in your blocks.

The Flange, Pitch, and Chorus are feeding into everything downstream. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not separate as it sounds like you were going for.
