Something like keyztone ExChanger Pickup Remodeler  
Or something like The Mooer Tone Capture GTR.

Could work like this:  
1-capture the sound of your reference pickups  
2-select one of your reference pickup (the one curently in use)  
3-select a available model or one of you captures  
4-that is it, now play guitar (or bass)

This will give the possibility to bring only one guitar on set, and still be able to adapte pick up per song.

Feature Proposal: Generic Pickup & Tone Conversion Block

​💡 Core Concept

​Add a Generic Conversion Block to the signal chain that allows users to seamlessly transform one type of pickup sound into another in real-time (e.g., transforming a high-output humbucker into a vintage Strat single-coil, or a magnetic pickup into an acoustic guitar emulator).

​🚀 Key Use Cases

​Pickup Swapping On-The-Fly: Switch guitar characteristics instantly without needing to physically change guitars or hardware (e.g., going from modern rock humbuckers to glassy blues single-coils mid-set).

​Acoustic Modeling: Transform an electric guitar signal into a rich, resonant acoustic guitar emulator directly within the digital signal processing (DSP) chain.

​Versatility in Studio/Live: Reduce gear dependency and expand tonal palettes using a single instrument.
