You average level should be around the red arrow. Your peaks can be further up. Just so long as there's plenty of headroom.

Boss GT 1000Core

I put octave, chorus, an eq change, and compressor. I also have a long press option to turn on/ off the tuner. It’s been helpful for extending controls for both bass and guitar.
As far as patch building and parameter settings, i work off a one or two channel template. This template can be used for live or recording. The effects order is based on discussions I've seen and taken part in on the effects forum. So it's basically my interpretation of how i want my effects to be organised. The blocks that are part of the template are organised to the left, and all the unused blocks are organised to the right. The patch with the template has been initialised, so all the parameters in the blocks are in their default settings. The final patch could be as simple as a couple of effects, or as complicated as multiple amps and effects, multiple channels, send/return blocks, or any other assigns and MIDI commands. The GT has plenty of power to handle it. And finally. To my mind, the more organised, clean, and efficient and patch is, the better sounding it's gonna be. That's been my experience with the GT. But you could say that for any pedalboard or MFX unit.

That looks great, always been intrigued by the SLO.
?The first two assigns have the same value for min and max..nothing would happen. Sorry still not understanding, don't give up haha

Edit: or is it you want to change an assign globally? This cannot be done. 'Control functions' can be set per patch or global/system, but assigns can not.

It’s really good. I like that I can adjust the role of the tube to get it fatter or cleaner. I would love to have a parametric eq on the mids, but I add those through a separate eq on the core if I want. I usually have my preamp switchable between the core and one of the parametric eqs. SLO for fat p bass and clean eq for the MTD.
Exactly, I want preamp always off so I can use the tube pre in my GK, the other should be S/R always on, not FXThe first two assigns have the same value for min and max..nothing would happen. Sorry still not understanding, don't give up haha
Are you looking for a trick to globally disengage the amp-blocks in all your presets?
Not an answer to your question but related: the Boss 'stompbox' feature (where a fx block becomes a global-block) is great, but the on/off status of such a global fx-block is STILL determined by the preset.
In practice if you had a 'stompbox' chorus in every preset you could 'disengage' that chorus-block by setting the effect level to zero. With an amp block there would be no such trick.

If you design your patches to switch between amp/no amp globally you could use a 'global' splitter (amp on path A, no amp on path B) but that is a rough work around, made possible because of the amount of fx-blocks/paths one can use

What steps do you take to save the Assign Matrix settings? You have to save it manually per patch, there is no autosave.
Yeah you can achieve this with stompboxes.
Create a divider with your amp in A and leave B clear. Save the divider as a Stompbox and assign that to all your patches where you want a globally toggled amp.
No need for assigns as the div channel can be set to a foot switch normally.
If you wanted to control other features globally which can’t be set to footswitches directly like A/B balance to have a clean blend with your amp for example assigns could be used.
