If you want to travel light ... you could do Zoom G3X direct in to pa using XLR.

No amp involved at all.

That is an option I am hoping to explore pretty soon.

That's what I've been doing for a year or so with great success, give me a shout if you want any tips etc.

Yes - that's definitely a conversation worth having.

I've just ordered myself an XLR cable and plan to practice through a pa v soon.

Cover songs ... so looking for / needing a range of tones ... maybe built around one 'core / default / go to' setting

I haven't forgotten, just very busy atm. I also just bought a video camera, so I thought it might be fun to share some ideas about how to get good results out of the G3.

I'm by no means an expert on the G3, but I have got mine to sound and feel very "amp-like" in a live context, so when I get this weekend out of the way I'll hopefully get a chance to play with my camera, and you can all take the piss out of my stage presence

look forward to it

My Zoom G3x has very hot settings on all the modules,  So I barely nudge the gains and set the tones at 1/2 approx  when recording with a live band.  I send a Zoom G3x via direct XLR to the control room and then send the 1/4" output to a guitar amp in the performing room.  For me the levels match and there is no tone loss that I can hear.
