In AmpliTube 3, a preset contains all the information for the models selected—every stompbox, amplifier, cabinet, and microphone in your signal chain—including the specific settings for those models. Essentially, it's a saved snapshot of your entire virtual rig. A preset has a name, like '60 Brit Crunch' or 'Solid State Edge!'.

Users have successfully configured the Behringer FCB1010 to switch AmpliTube 3 presets within Ableton Live by sending Program Changes via a MIDI track. This allows you to scroll through 128 presets without touching the mouse.
