Root cause: factory presets for bass (banks 17-20) sat in the root factory dir alongside guitar presets, and install_factory_presets() used rglob() which picked up ALL presets into the GUITAR channel. Changes: - Move bank_17-20 from presets/factory/ → presets/factory/bass/ (matching the existing keys/, vocals/, backing_tracks/ layout) - Fix install_factory_presets() to scan channel-specific subdirectory: GUITAR scans root bank_* dirs, all others scan <channel>/bank_* - Fix main.py to iterate over all 5 channels when installing factory presets (was only installing into GUITAR) - Import Channel enum in main.py Tests: 56/56 preset manager tests pass. Integration verified: - GUITAR: 68 presets (banks 0-16) - BASS: 16 presets (banks 17-20, SansAmp/Darkglass/Ampeg SVT) - KEYS: 12 presets (banks 21-23) - VOCALS: 12 presets (banks 24-26) - BACKING_TRACKS: 12 presets (banks 27-29)

## Part 4: Chain Architecture
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Bass → NAM Model (preamp/amp) → Cab IR (bass-specific) → Output
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- **Pedal captures** (SansAmp, Darkglass B3K, Tone Hammer) need a bass cab IR after them
|
|
- **Amp head captures** (SVT-CL, GK 800) also need a bass cab IR
|
|
- **Full rig captures** already include cab — skip IR
|
|
- **Compression** should be before the NAM model (not modeled by NAM)
|
|
- All captures are from Tone3000 — download URLs in full report
|
|
|
|
### No BDDI v2 / No SVT-VR
|
|
- BDDI v2 NOT found; v1 is close (different headroom/EQ curve)
|
|
- SVT-VR NOT found; SVT-CL is equivalent (same circuit, different era)
|
