Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When building an amp setup with a distortion or a distortion effect, beginner users may not be sure how or which unit to use to achieve a certain goal. There's no indication what each unit can accomplish or examples of what they can be used in.

Describe the solution you'd like
A description of each unit on hover to indicate this unit is often found in this particular amp or distortion pedal, and provide maybe an example. Such as this preamp can be used for so and so.

Additional context
This describes a tube screamer pedal, but I wasn't sure why there would be the tube screamer unit follow by a TS-tone if the assumption was that I am building a tube screamer. It read to me as if I needed a tube screamer to build a tube screamer, which seems a bit redundant. A description what that first unit (maybe a preamp?) could clarify things and I can use the module more effectively.

Thanks for raising this issue!

At the moment, each "processor" in BYOD already has a "description", which can be seen if you click the "gear" icon and select "Info". I think it would be a good idea to expand these descriptions to include more information about how to use that processor.

Showing the description if the user hovers over it is an interesting idea. I'm a little bit hesitant since I feel like it would make the interface a little bit too "busy". Maybe there could be a global setting to determine whether or not the description should be shown on hover? Alternatively, maybe each processor could have a little "info" icon on its UI, and then the description will show if you hover your mouse over that icon? I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on these ideas.

It will probably be at least a few weeks before I have some serious time to spend on BYOD, but if you feel comfortable working on updating some of the descriptions in the meantime, that would be a wonderful contributiou!

Hi Jatin,

I will need to take a further look into it and draft an idea. I've not worked with audio programming software before (I'm a web dev), but I'm willing to take a shot at it.
