The 'Preset per song' trap. Yuck.

[Baba]

I can make on the fly decisions, in the heat of the moment. I can quickly bend down and just change a thing. When I'm writing I can more easily explore sounds and combinations of pedals and amp tones, and get inspired.

It helps me remove a load of nonsense real-life pragmatic/workflow issues that otherwise would prevent me from just making progress.

That's awesome! We do "Feel LIke A Woman" and "Any Man Of Mine". I petitioned for "Don't Impress Me Much" but it got veto'd

The beginning of "Feel Like A Woman", my guitar with a gain sound, period.

my point is more that MOST real acoustics, in a live setting, don’t sound any more “real” and often less real than the various ways to fake it with a solid body.

Agreed

Removed all the filler words for you.

Thing is; I like making trumpet noises with my guitar If it's just all guitar stuff; I'll go start an original death metal band

Yeah, and I was agreeing with you

@ op: It depends on what kind of music you write or play. In my case, I prefer that each of my songs are different. I can share some common fx here and there, but to me it's much more fun, creatively showing, when each song has a different sound landscape.

If you don't enjoy designing presets per song, just don't do it. It doesn't have to be a PITA, it's meant to be fun.

I like to keep it grumpy!

I’m dealing with this right now. Once I started using IRs the X-Bridge on my strat sounded as good as the pickup on my low end acoustic, so I’ve just been sticking with the comfort of my electric. The setup even fooled my friend who is blind.
