I think its a way to share each others creativity.

That's an interesting perspective because in my experience presets have done little more than killed creativity.

and not everyone has got access to expensive guitar amps and mics, so i think it would be nice to help some one with less experience and less equipment out with cool guitar presets for revaler MKIII, guitar rig 2 and 3, amplitude, waves gtr3 ect.

I don't entirely disagree, but how a person sets their guitar is a personal thing. Zakk Wylde is always immediately identifiable. So is Slash, Eddie Van Halen, etc. I do have worries that we lose some of that individuality.
More importantly, why would you want my presets? Revalver MK3 is the first really good emulator I've heard. This takes 90% of the engineering skill out of the picture. Now it's just an issue of tweaking the amp to sound like what you like. A fear of lack of fidelity is tossed right out the window because that thing just sounds good.
There is a scary undertone to this thinking that there is a "best" guitar sound. It scares the shit out of me to be honest, because it's extremely destructive. Just like on Heinrich's "guitar sound" thread in Recording Reviews I have a feeling there will be all sorts of people getting way to anal about things that are supposed to be part of a musicians individuality. There is always a line we have to cross with audio engineering. I think there are some things that fairly objective. Any instrument that hurts should be dealt with. I always say that if the recording hurts, it gets an automatic F. However, I think we are gonna run into problems where a guy uses a Marshall style sound and a Boogie fan tells him it sucks because it's not a Boogie.
I also see limitations to presets because of different guitars being used, different arrangements, and different tracks underneath those guitars. (That's why there is still 10% engineering left).
With that said, once again, if there is enough interest I'll figure out a place to put it. I just can't think of a reason why I would want to download someone else's presets. It's not about skill, knowledge, or anything like that. I just prefer to salt my meat and potatoes myself.
