The most important thing to me if I were looking at a multi-effects thingy is this:
WILL IT WORK IN A LIVE GIGGING SITUATION.
And that means night after night from club to club, bar to bar, where room acoustics change drastically from one venue to another and even in the same venue from early in the gig to later as the place fills up with people.
That means literally everything must be quickly and easily adjustable ... and I mean like between one sentence and anther while paying and singing ... in a half second or so. For me if it can't do that it simply isn't viable.
Unfortunately that means presets are essentially useless. Think about it ... soon as you call one up, you have to tweak everything in it ... and save it, which essentially wipes it out ... and if you don't save your tweaks you will have to do it all over again next time you call it up in the gig. And if that involves scrolling through menus and pages, it is not quickly / easily done.
