Thanks again Voxman, all the details are much appreciated. Let's hope this helps another Pod Go'er too.

Voxman! I was hoping you would reply. I’ve read a great number of your posts on PodGo, and learned a lot from you already. You are certainly an expert and are very generous with your time and expertise! Thank you for the quick and very thorough response. I should have mentioned I don’t gig, only play at home through the single 8” studio monitor (Kali LP-8). Great explanation for the Output Block volume. That makes sense, and is perfectly clear. I think it’s a pretty common issue (especially for Newbies like myself) to have low volume problems with clean tones. Now I know how to fix it! Yes, that Fletcher-Munson curve certainly affects tone shaping, especially for at-home “bedroom” volume levels. One last question please… do you ever play through studio monitors, and can you say what might be a “best” volume setting? Should the monitor volume be maxed or ½ way? Thank you for all you help!

Hi, OP here. I might add that with all the other volume possibilities in the blocks (especially the cabinet volume), the whole volume things is a little confusing to me. I'm probably over-complicating this, and hopefully someone can simplify it for me. Thanks again.

Hey all, I have a question about overall volume control and preset leveling. I just watched "Learning with Line 6 | POD Go Wireless | Preset Leveling & Gain Staging" on YouTube. The instructor taught preset leveling by using a clean preset at your favored volume setting, then matching the volume of other louder/softer presets. He used only the Channel Volume in the preset to set all preset volumes. He also set the PG main volume knob at 1/2 (50%, 12 o'clock) so he could raise or lower the volume in a live setting. 1. One question is, what about the Output Block level? When is it used and what for? 2. Also, I'm playing direct to a single 8" Studio Monitor. Where should the Monitor volume be set for best quality tone? Any tips or ideas are appreciated!

Hi, I'm having trouble finding a tutorial on how to download Patches (or are they called Presets?). Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

I've spent a large amount of time trying to find good info about running direct to the FX Loop Return. It is hard to find, not a lot out there, and what is out there is scattered far and wide; here, Youtube, TGP, etc. Researching is like cramming for final exam while waiting on my PodGo to be delivered. If I had ANY experience with modelers, I'd gather and organize all the information and start a thread on Tricks and Tips for PodGo in the FX Loop Return but... PodGo is my first modeler ever. With PodGo's success, I'll bet there's a lot of buyers and future buyers with little or no experience in modeling who would like to just plug into their amp and get some world-class tones quick. I've read about all the PodGo pages at TGP, wow, what a wealth of knowledge. Appreciate all you've done Digital_Igloo, and Frank Ritchotte too.
