Isn't this a good use case for a Global Performance Control?
Yes... You could add that External Controller Init Value to the Global page... Assuming it's allowed to be added.Isn't this a good use case for a Global Performance Control?
It would be really awesome to have a global guitar input preset function to call up with input level (noise floor), gain/vol, gate and eq.I would like to set up a global EQ that is activated by a footswitch...

I have a bunch of polar opposite guitars so I set up entire presets per guitar, such as a Suhr with fishman fluence pickups, an Anderson tele with mojo quiet coils (bright as hell), Ibanez with Bareknuckles for soloing and so on.
As it is now, if I use the opposite personality guitar on a preset, I build a new scene with all the things I need (usually to tame my teles or lower gain for humbuckers) on separate channels for input, gate, eq, etc. Meaning I'm playing in AxeEdit and not my instrument.
Set up input once per guitar, recall, done.
I’m confused. Why purchase guitars that sound different if your goal is for them to all sound the same? Ironically, this was the main complaint about the original modelers such as the Rocktron Chameleon, no matter what you plugged into them, the end result tone was always the same.
Here's a scenario: I'm playing an Explorer, second song of the set in front of 750 people, and a string breaks. I have to switch to a Les Paul custom. Still two humbuckers, I know. But different. It also happens to be tuned a half-step down.I’m confused. Why purchase guitars that sound different if your goal is for them to all sound the same?

I play a preset per song, so I've got about 22-23 songs still to go, about 4-5 of which use the Explorer and 6-7 use the Les Paul.
Wouldn't it be nice if:
1) I had set up a global EQ block the could adjust the eq/input gain of all the presets at once with the push of a button or two, then back.
2) I had set up a global Virtual Capo block that adjusts everything up a half step, until I get to the songs I normally use the Les Paul or my Strat.
There are very good reasons to be able to have one guitar match another in a live situation. I carry three, maybe four guitars to a show. But I can't afford two of everything.
Altering the inherent tone of a guitar to match another isn't what any of us want, ideally, but it IS a real world application.

Well, that's the beauty of the Fractal universe. Everyone has different needs.I haven’t broken a string in twenty years, to me this so far out the ledge I don’t see it being an issue for the vast majority of users.
More practical, you duplicate the presets one hundred higher and use the tuner hold to hop the hundred in one shot. Then you use another button’s hold to drop a hundred back down.

Let’s say the song is preset 23, now if you are using guitar X, you actually want preset 123.
So you've got one guitar that is always too bright and you're wanting to correct this with a global eq. I'm thinking if the guitar is always too bright, it's the guitar...fix the guitar and bleed some of the highs off with a cap. It'll still sound like itself, just less harsh.
The other guitar, Les Paul, sounds fine through my tube amp, Friedman Small Box
My main guitar is my cover band is Tom Anderson Drop Top with a HSS configuration. It is my most versatile guitar. I prefer not to modify my TA.
Turning the tone to 8 isn’t good enough?
