Tutorial: Save and Share Your First Preset

Goal: turn a sound you’ve dialed in into a saved, shareable preset — and grab a great one from the community on the way.

You’ll need: a connected pedal and a free account.

  1. Dial something in

    Get your pedal sounding good — by hand, or with the Tone Terminal. If you’re just following along, click Randomize in the action toolbar until something interesting happens.

  2. Click Save in the pedal header

  3. Describe it well

    • Name it something you’ll recognize on a gig: “Sunday morning swell”, not “preset 3”.
    • Description: one or two lines on what it’s for. Future-you will thank you.
    • Tags: comma-separated genres or moods (“ambient, tape, lo-fi”) — these power the Library’s tag filters.
    • Leave Private off to share it with the community, or flip it on to keep it yours.
  4. Save

    It’s now in Library → My Presets, synced to your account on any computer.

  1. Browse the Library

    Click Library in the sidebar. Filter to your pedal with the All Pedals dropdown — no point falling in love with a preset for hardware you don’t own.

  2. Open a preset

    Cards with a Terminal badge were AI-generated and include the original prompt — a nice window into what to ask for.

  3. Load into Pedal

    One click applies every parameter and sends it to your hardware. Play through it before you judge — descriptions lie, ears don’t.

  4. Make it yours
