You're not far from the truth. I prefer the amp sound rather than computer generated guitar sound. I don't find useful copying someone's presets. It always sounds different on different guitar so it never helped me much when I tried copying. You have to know what you want and if you like it - that's it. You should be able to recognise the sound you want to reproduce. If you want AC/DC type of overdrive, of course you will look for some overdrive pedal or an amp gain. You won't chose BOSS METAL ZONE for AC/DC. I hope you get the idea.

Good idea Kaznie. If I may add, knowing your gear and gear of other players is an important step in creating your own sound. You get your knowledge with gear mostly with personal experience, when you own the gear and know it inside and out. Also video tutorials with sound samples can help a lot when looking for a specific kind of sound.
By gear I don't just mean regular gear, I also mean digital and software modelers as well. Each one has it's own characteristic sound and way to produce "the real thing". If you need any specific advice on how to create your sound, post the gear you have so we can analyze it and find weak spots in the chain. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Of course there are all the issues described here, but I think the idea is valid specially in the sense of sharing personal experience on how to achieve a tone. I always have trouble setting up a good tone myself, so I start with a preset and tweak it... (I've been mostly using Line 6 amp modeling and effects. No real amps.)
To make the tone section useful I think it could actually be classified according to the pickup selection of the guitar S-S-S guitars (read strats) H-S-H (read Ibanez with middle single coil) basic H H (read Les Paul) H H with single coil emulation (read Ibanez without middle single coil) These 4 categories should cover most guitar types. Of course a preset made for a american fender will not sound the same on a fender squier, but it would be even more inappropriate to try it on a Les Paul.

I wrote to the guy at Gilmourish.com and dropped a hint that he come over here and do some video demonstrations of all the cool tones. So far no reply.
