While you and those who posted followups to your post have piled about 50 
pounds of snark on the idea, presets are indeed extremely important.  
Having most of your available effects produce something unusable by 
default, or worse yet, no noise at all, only helps engineers and John Cage 
wannabes with too much time on their hands whose music is made only for 
other engineers and John Cage wannabes with too much time on their hands.  
The software becomes less a tool and more an impediment to creativity.
