You could probably condense a few scenes in to a single preset, but it really depends on how you want to work.
I'm sure a Helix or Headrush would make your life easier and sound better too
I know for a fact my OD3 will end up with knobs in a different position for each gig depending on my amplification/monitoring situation. IEMs vs floor wedges, big rooms vs small, my amp vs shared backline, rehearsal vs gig setup, different guitars etc.
It's weird - almost all of the manufacturers tout the fact that they can simulate stomp boxes. And they can, in every way except for how they really behave in practice - ie as an isolated and independent device whose settings aren't affected by anything else. Frustrating, because it would be so easy to achieve in software if they only chose to do it.
I'm not trying to knock anyone else's way of working by the way, or choice of gear. I just know after trying multiple times to use presets with onboard drives (GT5, GT8, GT10, M13, Nova System, G5) that it just doesn't work for me on stage.

Boss OD3 - for basic crunch. I also use it and roll back guitar volume for a spikier clean sound
MI Crunchbox - for all heavier drive and occasional wig-out solos. Tweaked on the fly to suit each song (sometimes it's for a signature riff like Satisfaction, sometimes for a loud fuzz solo like Easy)
EP Boost (1st in chain)- to thicken the OD3 and also to bring up my coil-split sounds up to match my full HBs
Mooer Pure boost - post drives for solo volume boost.
