If you haven't done so already, download the free presets from the Atomic site. The Singtall ones are pretty good and include some really nice IRs. http://atomicamps.com/atomic-amps-support/
For effects advice, I'd recommend you make your way over to the atomic forum and pick up a couple of the threads there....

I got the AA3 recently as it's small and I wanted a desktop modeller for recording and headphone practice, like the old POD bean, I'm not arsed about footswitches as I don't use it on the floor and edit via Mac so it's perfect for my needs.
I was pleasantly surprised with the high quality of the sound and the level of control in the editor over the effects parameters.
There may be less models and less effects that AX & Helix but I don't see that as a bad thing at all, however, I really wish the editors for these modellers had a tuner built in to the editing interface though so you can tune via the computer screen!
With just a few small tweaks I was up and running. That would never happen with the AX8 .. I'd be spending half of the night trying to EQ the amps.. not sure why but the front panel knobs don't really react like an amp would be (at least for me) while the AA6 is dead straight easy! The whole band was happy with levels and tone!
