I would realy like to see a MIDI device, with one MIDI in and MANY MIDI outs (16?). The device should send out different program change messages to the different outputs.
This way, when I am running my guitar setup, I can have:
preset 1
Dirt prog 1
Echo prog 1
Carolina prog 1
preset 2
Dirt prog 1
Echo prog 67
Carolina prog 8
preset 3
Dirt prog 7
Echo prog 1
Carolina prog 3

It will make a HUGE difference in the ease of making guitar set-ups. Not having to copy the same programs over and over with new numbers - and the ever-so-anoying old-preset-list-in-SFP-bug. I would pay for this. I actually took the full step today and made a Patch in Modular with a lot of switches and parallel-loaded inserts (27 distortions, 6 phazers, 6 flangers, 6 chorusses). But it ate 18 of my 19 DSPs, so it is realy not an option, and I didn't even get to the echos and reverbs. So this is not an option.

Preset selection isn't time critical, so can be done on the CPU. For example with http://www.bome.com 's Midi Translator you could do that with notes from a MIDI keyboard...
