I was messing around a little bit with the Fuse software and I think I saw something that is confusing(one of many things). I think I noticed that when a preset is saved it is given a numerical signature. How do you find out which one is which if it's only a numerical signature? Also I want to search for other presets how do I do this? Is it possible to rename a preset, for example if I wanted to call a preset already named "Clean Twin" say "Clean Twin tweaked" could I? sorry for all the questions but I'm trying to learn . . .Thanks

@ Roger L

1. All presets have real names ... ex: clapton.fuse ... unless you rename them yourself. For Windows users they are in your Documents folder.

2. All presets can be edited and overwritten or saved under new names ... see the manuals for more details.

3. If you edit a preset that came with the amp ... I'd recommend you not overwrite it. Instead use FUSE and save it under a new name so that you can restore the amp back to it's as purchased condition if necessary.

4. You can find and download new presets here ... https://fuse.fender.com/ ... there are over 1600 of them.

5. You can rename any preset.

You can change it's name in your computer's File Manager ... BUT ... FUSE will not detect the new name. FUSE will only detect the new name if you open the .fuse file, edit the "Info_name=" parameter and resave.

If you download lots of presets you will find lots of duplicate names ... so it's handy to know how to rename them so they can be saved and so that FUSE can recognize the new name.

That can't be done as there are "only" 100 slots available on the amp - all of which are already filled.
You can, however, restore amp's factory default settings by turning amp off, holding the 'exit' key on the amp and then turning the power on while holding the 'exit' key. That does the trick.

Also in Fuse - whenever you want to save the preset on your amp you can choose which number (it will override the setup already saved on that number) and the name of the preset - although I suggest you use names that will tell you more about the sound of preset than from what it's tweaked.

For example I named the presets I made myself like this: 'Drive' (use it for like 50% of all songs I play, as the name suggests it's a driven sound, for solos and stuff), 'Acoustic' (use it for all acoustic songs, bob dylan-ish, johnny cash-ish, etc), 'Shine On' (use it for Shine On You Crazy Diamond and basically any other song that involves picking strings and the sound that needs to be clean - Californication, The Zephyr Song, etc), 'Teen Spirit' (Smells Like Teen Spirit-ish overdriven guitar sound), 'Not My Time' (It's Not My Time-ish, It's My Life-ish overdriven guitar with wah-wah), etc. It's much more easier to remember them this way than 'Clean Twin tweaked' - that could mean tweaked to get overdriven sound which isn't actually Clean anymore, it could mean it's cleaner than original, it could mean it's full of effects..
Name the presets so that if you lent your amp to a friend that's also playing a guitar and wants to try it out would, just by looking at the name (if hypothetically you both knew the same songs and how to play the same songs), would already know what that sound is for and how it sounds (ok if it's a song name and song has clean & overdriven guitar then he'll have 50-50 chance to get it right in the first try, but you know what I mean).
That's the easiest way you will remember all the settings yourself as well :) Hope I helped.

Thanks, guys, I thought I was stuck with those numerical signatures, I'll have to get up to speed on the renaming. I do agree on the factory preset names, so I can reload it if need be. If I rename a factory preset I can always note it's original name in the notes for that preset. Also I think what Ben was referring to is we have the ability to build a library in Fuse. There is also a program floating around here called Horse Tamer that allows you to build a library and use differently, I haven't mastered that one either yet. Anyway, what Ben was saying is that you can build the library on Fuse (computer) as large as you want. Using your example of Iding a reset by the name of a song, say Shine on, if you want to remove it because your not using it a gig, you can but it in your library and put another preset in it's place. Then at another time you can put it back in if needed, by going to your library. Hope that makes sense.

Oh yes you are correct - I thought we were talking about saving the preset on the amp itself and naming it somehow, not in the Library in FUSE, my bad :wink:
