When editing sounds, is there a way to compare the current edit with the current saved preset?

I realise this is a workaround rather than the ideal solution, just offering as a suggestion to achieve what you want:

Copy the preset you want to edit into the adjacent preset position (saving that preset first of course if you want to keep it). Eg if you want to edit preset 54, make a copy of it at preset 53 or 55.

Edit one of the two copies.

Flip back and forth between the two presets to compare the sound.

Yes - great idea - I wanted to do exactly that recently

It needs to be a simple one or two click process with guitar in hand - no messing about with two presets Scott!
It's only when you are mid edit you suddenly might want to do this - (e.g. is my edit better than what I had before??)

But anyway on an MII you're stuffed, as you can only save in red or green at same position number (unless my MII is broken?)
I really hate that I can't choose any slot to save into - Yes I know I should have got an MIII.

I usually do something similar to what Scott-uk suggests.
Not for "testing" presets but for a "production" environment :)

I have my 2 switch pedal in the up-down mode.
I have a preset called basic supersonic, and another one (adjacent) called driven supersonic, with several added effects.
I flip back and forth using the pedals even in mid-song (more or less tricky as it takes a split second for the Mustang to do the switch)

You could also temporarily assign the copy as QA1 and the one you're tweaking as QA2 (at least on the MIII) so they don't have to be adjacent presets. :idea:
