I set my Strat guitar volume to the normal 7, The Pod Go output volume knob to around 5, and my Princeton amp to some pleasing volume.
As the volume level of just about all the presets is much louder than the bypass (use the tuner function on bypass mode to compare). I then adjust each presets Output Block level to match the bypassed volume. This varys from around -3db to up to -24 db and brings the signal level closer to what it would be if the Pod was bypassed.
Then, as written previously, I adjust the amp and individual blocks levels to what sounds balanced to me. After my adjustments I export my playlists, one for factory and one for user adding something like "vol adjusted" in the export file name.
These levels are for going into a guitar amp. If you are going into a line level amp or board you would need to reduce less and maybe even boost.
