Yeah - I don't think the presets are that bad, either. :)
I *used* to think so, until I noticed it was a problem of transposing on my 
CS-50: The presets obviously have been created for the NORMAL setting, and I 
mostly play 1 OCT DOWN.
Changed a lot of resistors on the preset boards before I noticed that.

Modification isn't that difficult in *theory* - each parameter value is just 
one resistor value.
In *practice*, the board layout is very un-intuitive for finding the right 
resistor, and some presets don't have all parameres set anyway, which makes 
it a major pain in th e a** to set a pulse width setting when the original 
preset has only used the saw waveform ...

Presets are made for treatment with an FX chain - a guitar doesn't sound too 
exciting without amp and FX either.
