6 of 9 presets carry at least one objective fault.
Objectively wrong — physics or dead logic. These are not matters of taste; each one is silently working against you every time you play.
ir0
The filter removes the fundamental of the lowest string — the note itself, not the mud. This is heard as hollow, weightless low notes and no EQ or drive setting can bring it back.
FixLower the cab's low cut to ~66 Hz or below.
ir0
This IR is unfiltered on that side: it passes everything down to 19.9 Hz — sub-bass flub a real cab cannot produce, eating headroom; it passes everything up to 20100 Hz — digital fizz territory no speaker reproduces (real cabs roll off by ~5–7 kHz).
FixSet low cut ~65–90 (below your lowest tuning) and high cut ~7000–8000.

FixLower the cab's low cut to ~66 Hz or below.

This IR is unfiltered on that side: it passes everything up to 15100 Hz — digital fizz territory no speaker reproduces (real cabs roll off by ~5–7 kHz).
FixSet high cut ~7000–8000.

snapshots
These snapshots are byte-for-byte identical — switching between them changes nothing. If you have ever stepped on one expecting a different sound, it has never worked.
FixRepurpose the duplicates (lead boost, split-coil variant) or ignore them knowingly.

Almost certainly hurting the tone, based on limits validated by ear on real rigs. Worth fixing; trust your ears on the final value.
reverb1
The wet path is high-cut below the dry path, so the tail of every sustained note is duller than the note itself — heard as high notes 'not ringing right' as they decay.
FixRaise the reverb HighCut to at least 15100, or accept knowingly for deliberately dark ambience.
reverb2

FixRaise the reverb HighCut to at least 15100, or accept knowingly for deliberately dark ambience.
amp1.Bass
Same amp model, wildly different setting. Often a forgotten tweak; on low-end controls (Depth, Resonance) it silently guts the body of this one preset while its siblings sound full.
FixTry 0.50 to match the rest of your library.
ir1/ir2
Two IRs summing in parallel must agree on level and band-limiting or one path dominates and the blend smears instead of tightening. Different IR models and moderate high-cut differences are fine — level and low-cut are not.
FixMatch cab Level and low cut across the pair; keep the different cab models.
dist1
Bit-reduction generates aliasing hash across the whole spectrum; with no high-cut it all passes and reads as harsh digital noise rather than lo-fi character.
FixCap the block's HighCut around 5000–7000.
amp1
Boosted lows against cut mids is boom without definition — it reads as hollow/muddy, not as low end. On a pitch-shifted 'bass' this is amplified because the source is already thinner than a real bass.
FixRaise Mid toward ~0.5 and pull Bass back toward ~0.7.
cab0/cab1

amp0.Master
Same amp model, wildly different setting. Often a forgotten tweak; on low-end controls (Depth, Resonance) it silently guts the body of this one preset while its siblings sound full.
FixTry 1.00 to match the rest of your library.
amp0.Mid

FixTry 0.31 to match the rest of your library.
Unusual settings that may be intentional. Each one is explained, not condemned — check it knowingly and keep it if it is doing a job.
snapshots
All duplicated snapshots carry default names and identical state — this preset simply doesn't use snapshots. Fine if intentional; a missed live-switching feature if not.
pitch0
Mix below 100% lets the un-shifted note through alongside the shifted one — you hear both pitches at once. On an octave-down 'bass' path this is mud; as a deliberate doubling effect it may be intentional.
FixSet Mix to 1.0 unless the doubling is on purpose.
join
This preset leaves its mixer stage hotter than the rest of your set. Sometimes a stray tweak — but it can be legitimate makeup gain for a quiet preset, so check by ear at matched volume before 'fixing' it.
FixA/B against your other presets at one volume setting.
snapshots

blocks
These blocks are loaded (costing DSP) but no snapshot ever turns them on. Either free ammunition — a ready-made lead boost or split-coil compensator — or dead weight.
FixAssign to a footswitch/snapshot, or delete to free DSP.

Not problems — things worth knowing about how these presets are wired.
routing
This preset carries its own bass amp, so the guitar path is deliberately high-passed to leave the bass the low end. Low-cut-vs-fundamental checks are skipped here.
