Being relatively new to the Axe, I'm not sure if this has been discussed before.
I'm going to use the Reverb as an example...
The Reverb block has 18 Basic "quick picks" in the Effect Type that basically change the settings of the reverb controls; this feature is really, Really nice so the user can get close or close enough to the actual effect they are looking for rapidly. Is it possible to add more of those basic "quick pick" Effect Types for other effects blocks too, especially for the very commonly used blocks like Delay, Chorus, Compressor, etc. For example: the delay might have something like short, medium and long delay presets for each of the existing types that are already there, Compressor could have a deep, medium and light for each of the current types. What each of these types are called is not relevant, having additional quick pick choices is, I'm sure you get the idea.
"What I am talking about is in addition to what is already there and not taking any of the existing parameter adjustments away, thus not forcing everyone to use it."
Added after conversations within this thread.
Maybe a list of presets for a Clean, Blues, Crunch, Sustain for each amp sim?
That's a tall order but certainly would be nice!
End of add.
I know that there are lots of different presets that come with the Axe that show the versatility of the unit, but it truly is a daunting task for new users to wade through them all to find an effect that is close and then dissect the effect so they can use it elsewhere. There are also a lot of different ideas of what these additional quick picks should be, the key is getting a variety that will get the user closer to what they might want and let them adjust parameters from there. This would certainly add a new level of user-friendliness to the Axe.
It's kinda like having a list of effect specific presets within an effect..
This could be a very sell-able and useful feature. I'm sure the more of this kind of feature that is added to the Axe will help draw in more of those people that are "easily" scared away by all of the ways to deeply adjust the Axe.
Thanks for listening.
