Most interesting presets are for instruments. FX presets are interesting, but on a per-plugin basis they tend to be less fascinating.
LADSPA doesn't support instruments at all. On Mon, May 2, 2016 at 3:38 PM, Joel Roth <joelz@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

I looked into this format, and see it is XML, found some
presets in ~/.ladspa/rdf/ardour-presets.n3
To make it easy to share presets it might be valuable to
have an app-independent way of browsing and comparing them.
We share a lot of music, here, and I hope that presets could
be shared as readily.
It surprises me, really, since without proprietary
pre-cooked offerings, everyone producing music with Linux
invests a lot of time to find suitable plugin settings.
You'd think that open source source community would share
them as well.
