One backup for every guitar

[OmegaSlayer]

Before I try something that can potentially be a mess, I wanted to ask if some of you have experience with this

 

I made every of my presets on one of my guitars, so the tone I got is always consistent for that guitar, but, obviously, change guitar and the tone can change quite considerably

As much as I try to dial in thinking at all my instruments, some tones totally don't work on some instruments

 

I was thinking of making a back up for this guitar, rename it the file, grab another guitar, tweak the presets that need work for that other guitar, make another back up, rename it, and so on for all my guitars, which will lead to an amount of backups that I can retrieve and upload every time I swap instrument

 

Now, my two questions are

- Would the PodGo read backup file names that don't respect the factory naming parameters?

- Would the PodGo be damaged on the long run by overwriting the backups too often?

 

I think this solution would help to push and refine the tone on any guitar without having to make compromises, and, at the same time, if you want tonal variety for the guitars, you can always experiment with guitar x and guitar backup y, and eventually have nice discoveries

You can rename as often as you want but you cant go beyond the character limit that is preset in Pod Go. 

 

You can create and save patches for different guitars or gig sets, and import or export, or just cut and paste, a specific set of patches by highlighting a specific set of patches in Pod Go Edit. You can do this in either/ both of the factory preset or user preset sections.
