I have a preset which is entirely blank, no EQ, even, inserted. Nothing.
I rarely, if ever, use it, mind you.
I tend to use track templates more than I ever need to use ProChannel presets. The settings are never the same, but I may want specific plugs, so track templates are preferable.
One issue I have with ProChannel presets (and others) is that when I fiddle around with the settings, the name will, of course, remain the same. At a glance it can be hard to tell if what I see is the unaltered preset, or a "tweaked" version.
So, templates work better for me.
YMMV
