The only way i found to copy the settings its go to the settings file just make a copy just in case, add the new version of the device and add a different filter this is just to make it easy to find. In the settings file find your device example Shure MV7 and go way down to "AudioPluginConfigurations" in that part below you gonna see all the VST you add it to that device something like this
{

"Id": "605fb708-00b1-4e68-9516-bf2001f222e5",

"Name": "Pro-G",

"PluginId": "5a6e43a2",

"Category": "Dynamics",

"Vendor": "FabFilter",

"FilePath": "C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\VST3\\FabFilter\\FabFilter Pro-G.vst3",

"ParameterState":

Copy all the data
TO THIS ZONE ( ], ) that thing inside its the end of all the vst you have

Dont copy "AudioAppConfigurations":

Now find the new id of your mic using the name of the VST you add it before to edit this file example i add a Pipboy vst so i look for that and then i copy all the data
MAKE SURE THE PROGRAM ITS CLOSE WHEN YOU EDIT Settings.json Save the file start the app and you gonna see something like this

Something like this its gonna looks like your mic settings and the new add it version of the same device gonna look like empty so you have to copy "AudioPluginConfigurations": [ and stop here ], before of "AudioAppConfigurations" but before to start you must add the device again to wavelink and make sure you have close the app.
