But to be honest she's looking for cheaper than those - Zoom, Joyo, Mooer multi FXs can do all of that as well (e.g. preset mode, stombox mode). Pretty much a standard feature really. I'm selling a Zoom G3 and G5 in case she's interested!
If you are using more than one sound per song.. e.g rhythm and signature or solo parts, it is ideal.
You need to re-assign the three footswitches to something like FX1 on/off, overdrive/distortion on/off and FX2 on/off, leave one of the knobs to control patch selection, and the other two to something useful (I have mine set to OD/DS level and overall level). There are no 'banks' as such, but there are enough user memories that it should be possible to save enough different pedalboard configurations for as many songs as she needs to save. Then all you need to do between songs is turn the patch-select knob to the song name you're about to play and it's foolproof.
Since the GT-1 appears to use the same control system as some of the other Boss multis it's possible that they allow this as well, but I only have experience with the GT-1.

It's a great unit for live work.
Let's face it, they aren't many situations that require more then Amp - cab - compression - intelligent harmony - tapped delay - reverb - wah and volume pedal
I suspect most people gig'ing the Helix only use about a third of its capability in a live situation.
