Mike, it sounds like the way you create your song-specific patches is a lot the way I do as well, but it isn't clear to me how you avoid the audio gap when switching between song-specific presets; using the 2nd signal path I understand, but can the tempo be adjusted automatically when switching to the second signal path? And if this is possible, what do you do for the rest of your songs?
To be clear, I build a preset for song 1 (at 130 BPM), and then a second preset for song 2 (at 110 BPM), each preset with different amp and effect settings (and then I do the same for song 3, song 4, etc.). The patches sound great (in my opinion), but the problem arises when we ring out song 1 and our in-ear click counts the band off to start song 2. The gap is short, but it's still a gap and in my opinion kills the transition.
So anyways, Mike I quoted you because you're the only person I saw in this thread that posted ANYTHING about song specific tempo (and it's possible I missed a post), so, again, I was wondering wondering, do you don't find the audio gap between song presets problematic?
And for everyone else, doesn't tempo alone merit the idea that using multiple presets that are song specific in a gig is more useful than being stuck on a single preset? It seems to me a song for a guitarist revolves a lot around their created tone, but a song for any musician revolves around a (normally) pretty specific tempo...
