You have to set the EQ for each patch, surely?
I know some people like to have all their dials pointing at 12 o'clock, but it doesn't make much sense to me. What if an amp shipped with the mid dial on 0 and the others on 12. If it sounded good, would you leave it set? Or would you set the mid control to 12 o'clock, then decide you don't like the sound of the amp set "flat" and return it?
The zoom isn't that great I suppose, but if you take your time you can get some really good sounds out of it.
