Is there a way to create a preset from a capture that doesn’t burn an existing slot?
Seems that when I create a capture and save it, in order for me to make a preset from this capture, I have to replace one of the existing 25 slots. Am I doing something wrong, or does this mean if I make 25 captures, and want to make presets from each of them, I would lose all the factory slots?
Short answer is no, you have to select a capture slot when you are making presets.
However you will not end up with a limitation of 25 captures for all your presets since there is a “library slot”.
See this thread: Nano Captures and Presets
I don’t think I understand the difference.
If there’s 25 slots, and you have to overwrite one of them to make your preset, how do you not end up losing some of the factory ones?
So far I’ve had to replace/overwrite 4 of the bass slots In order to make my new presets. Maybe I’m doing it wrong.
Try this:
- Create a new preset “A” and select the 25th capture slot. (Or any of the other 24 slots.)
- Save the preset.
- Create yet another new preset “B” and choose the same capture slot as you did in step 1 above but this time change the amp capture to something completely different. (This so it’s easy to hear the difference between the two presets.)
- Save the preset.
Now go into the preset list and load up your preset “A”.
If I understand you correctly you are expecting the preset “A” to be messed up since it’s now using the wrong amp capture. But it’s not, instead your Nano Cortex pedal will light up all 5 capture slot leds (se image below) indicating that the capture is now from “Library”
And in the app an extra capture slot will show with “From the library”, in my case the “FNDR TWPRO I” in the image below:
So this means that you can have individual captures for each of the 64 possible presets on your Nano Cortex. Only limitation here is that the captures used by the presets must be among the total of 256 captures that you can have in your pedal capture library.
Same thing for the IR slots. There’s 5 slots but there’s also a “library IR slot” when a preset uses an IR that is not in one of the 5 IR slots. (And if I remember correctly we can store 256 IR files on the pedal.)
In the long run, if you want to keep the factory captures slots more or less intact, that you can make yourself 64 presets and each time you create a new preset you use the same capture slot loaded with the capture.
At the end of the day this is a very good thing because this means that the only way you can mess up a preset is by deleting an amp capture and/or an IR file from your pedal.

You are right but what we want, is the 25th slot stay with the initial capture ! And with his affected slot. Actually, with your method (but it’s the only one possible anyway) you have to go in PRESET A again and load the 25th slot and reaffect the initial CAPTURE. If you want all presets using the 25th slot aren’t with this blue mention From the Library…
Ok… I see PHNX. Yes re-loading the factory capture (in slot 25) after you’re done making your 64 presets should work if your goal is to keep all the factory captures loaded in their original places.
Still figuring stuff out with the Nano Cortex so that is why I’m asking this: Why is keeping the factory captures intact important when presets work like they do?
I am not talking about factory capture. In fact, I don’t use any. And you can’t get rid of them. So no problem about it. I am just talking about the fact if you load a capture in a slot (factory or not) from the library, it replace it in the slot. If this slot is dedicated to others presets, you have to reloaded the slot with the good one.
Globaly, when all the slots are full, loading a capture from the library, replace it. And all presets using a specific capture in a specific slot are impacted by this move. It will be great there were a “extra” slot to load from the library.
That way, there would be no impact on the 25 slots already filled.
What do you mean by this? I don’t understand the issue your having here.
For ex, you already have a CAPTURE calling BOG UBER in slot #25. This capture is used by 4 presets. If you change capture 25 by a other from the Library, Factory or not, all the 4 presets using slot# 25 will be change too…
For this reason, it’s my tip, i choose to have slot #25 (but it could be an other) dedicated to only ONE preset. On That way, i only have one preset to Reloaded with the good capture when i use slot #25 to put a library capture
Of course What we are talking about is when ALL your slots are already FULL.
Interesting… This is not how it works for me.
If I have 4 presets that uses BOG UBER in #25 I can replace the capture in #25 with a FENDER DXL and the 4 presets will keep using the BOG UBER.
Seems to me that the amp capture slot number is irrelevant for presets. But you keep saying that it’s possible to mess up presets by replacing the capture slot they are using… This makes me think that we are talking about different things and are misunderstanding each other.
You are right, i misspoke. Your othet preset KEEP Bogner capture BUT They no longer come from slot #25 but now from Library.
