Hi rustyou,
Yes ... just drop a PreSet Manager inside your schematic.
You can 'HIDE' it if you just want it to work in the background.

the issue is you have your preset manager inside a module...
For the preset manager to properly work it needs to be put outside any module, or in the "parent" module if you prefer.
So simply remove the preset you have current, and place a new one outside of your reverb effect.
EDIT: My bad! a little bit of mis-information... The Preset Manager has to be in your main module, or what you would call your synth/effect

1) Go to your reverb module.
2) Right click on preset manager module
3) Enable "Show in Parent Panel)
4) Get back to see the front panel of your reverb module
5) Drag the right bottom corner of the module to extend its size
6) Click CTRL+E (or under right mouse on the module - enable "Edit front panel")
7) Drag your preset manager front panel and move somewhere else, to not interfere with other elements
8) Quit edit mode (CTRL+E again).
...and remove the "manager" primitive. Only preset manager module (the one with black background). Generally - within single VST/VSTi project - there should be only one preset manager.
When exported as vst - you can load and save your parameters from the preset manager, which is now visible to you. I hope this helps.
And - depending on DAW - some of them may save plugin parameters externally, but not all. Usually - you save the plugin parameters using preset parameter within that plugin.
@Frad - preset manager and the rest of your work - must be inside a module, that is exported. Otherwise, when you export your guts - you may end without preset manager inside. But - yes, preset manager must be "above" to modules that contain preset settings (knobs, sliders, switches, etc.)
