I seriously don't mean any offense, but how could a preset on a channel strip be useful? I've tracked and mixed dozens of records over the last four decades. I've never once used a preset on a channel strip. Every source audio needs whatever it needs. There is no setting that will work on all sources, even in the same type. ie. Not every kick drum will need a cut at 300 and a boost at 60. Some of the ones I mixed need cuts at different frequencies. I'm not trying to toss you under the buss. I just can't see how presets would ever be used in an EQ or channel strip.
I know early on, I wished for presets, because I didn't understand what all the controls did. Just spend time and play with the extremes of each EQ band and the compressor and you will then have a better idea of what it really needs and you won't have to guess. I've been there.
