There could be some neat stuff here in the end, but as someone that has several amps, a dozen guitars and 50 pedals... I find this somewhat useless, at least on just the basis of just sharing settings. The specific settings on most of my stuff is very dependent on the room, guitar and how loud I'm playing. My main amp these days is a '65 Fender Bandmaster. About the only relevant thing to tell someone about the settings is that I use the vibrato channel exclusively. Volume is just based on the room/volume, and the tone controls are normally somewhere mid-way and I mess with them while I play to make it sound good by ear. Now, if it was sharing Sysex for keyboards, that could potentially be useful.

It also allows you to share rig setup(I will add to the page), so you could share your pedal board setup. Everything that goes into creating your sound with a guitar or bass you can share. As room consideration I'm thinking this mostly for recording applications and think most people don't record too loud. But that's an interesting thought.

  Even without recording too loud, room can have a HUGE impact on recording. As can mic, pre-amp, mic placement, speaker cabinet, pickup selection, pick choice, string choice, playing style. I'd try to minimize or at least make transparent those choices. Either: * Suggest an ideal circumstance (SM57 close mic'd as a reference or something), and note how this recording differs from the ideal * Make people list all of the components that went into the recording It's still going to be hard, because individual playing style can have a really big effect on sound (ie, Jaco is always going to sound like Jaco, even if you give him someone else's bass). That being said, I think it's really useful to hear lots of examples. Just be careful about misleading people with regards to why things sound the way they do.

    You are 100% about all those things. The shape of the walls in the room, the room ambience - recording in a cave will sound different from recording in your bedroom. Also the type of guitar the body material, neck material. I will consider these things in my design. I will write about what I was thinking on my blog, but as previously noted I didn't know if people would care for me to even bother.
