Which amp do  you have?  You don't use Spider Edit to save presets from the amp's artist/song presets to the user banks.  Call up the preset you want, adjust it as you want, then save it to the user bank using the amp controls.

For a 75, you press and hold 1 of the 4 channel buttons, which switches it into save mode, then use the dial selector to change the preset name (if you want to) and select the user bank #.  Then, finally, press the channel button that you want to save the patch into for that selected bank.

Michael,

Dont' know if you figured out how to get different presets onto your amp to use with your

footboard yet.

I can tell you how to get the 'songs and artists' presets into the A,B,C,D banks for your footboard

if that's what you're interested in.

As far as 'importing' sounds and saving sounds, you do that through the Spider IV Edit softward.

It reads your amp and will allow you to upload new sounds and also save the presets you have

in case you somehow lose data.

I'm a noob too, but I"ve gone through a bit of a learning curve to figure some of this out.
