I'm also new to the Pod Go, and modeling in general, and have the same question. I was looking through the forum just now, getting ready to start a thread, and saw this one so I thought I would post here to try and keep things consolidated.
Coming from guitar -> pedals -> amp, it can be a little daunting to figure out all of the new EQ options that are available when creating a sound. Do any of you have a "best practices" kind of checklist you use to tweak your patches. I have to believe the good folks at Line 6 wrote the software in such a way that when you pull up an amp model, the default settings provide a close representation of what people typically associate with that amp. So, do you typically start there, just as if you were in the old analog world tweaking your amp model to match your guitar and style? Or, do you start by tweaking cabinet model, or cabinet model parameters, or mics, or mic placement, or the mandatory EQ block? It's a lot to take in, but it's a lot of fun too. So anything you can add to help us newbies avoid option paralysis would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
