is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
Slightly less elegant than an all-in-one design, but does the same job and has all the extra functionality of the Stomp should you need it. Plus obviously no waiting around!

The other problem in snapshot mode, from what I've read, is you can't name them to distinguish different set-ups. I think they simply show as 'multiple'. So live on stage you have to remember which is which. Perhaps that's something you might be able to help with this too?
The above are just simple features to help gigging players. I can accept the compromise on processing power if the Pod Go can be just that tiny bit more gig friendly via the above - frankly I've got buy with 4 blocks on my Tonelab SE for years & so there should be enough in Pod Go to give me the tones I need; & if I get caught short I can always add an external pedal in the insert loop.

But no, you can't currently apply custom names to snapshots.
"My take will be that within each patch (possibly a patch per song if needed), I will choose either snapshot mode or stomp depending on whether I want 4 distinct tones (via snapshots) or more flexibility (via 4 stomps with their multi parameter features)."
EXACTLY - and that's just what I want to do (not mid song). But (unless I've misunderstood and @Digital_Igloo can clarify to the contrary) there's no way that I can see to 3-way toggle via a single footswitch between patch, snapshot, and stomp modes. To cycle between all three you have to press both the up/down switches. Pod Go has the functionality - I'm just after getting rid of that 'double foot switch' operation to do it. I was hoping the software could be tweaked so that the MODE switch could act as a 3-way toggle to cycle through these.
Some boxes have the MODE switch open a menu where you have to step on the mode you want, which automatically means every mode switch is two footswitch presses away. Also a bad thing.
If I had a better idea of what you're specifically trying to accomplish, I might be able to suggest how to set things up. Not what workflow you prefer, but how do you actually perform?
Very valid and sensible question re how I'd like to use Pod Go @Digital_Igloo so here goes.
Let's say I'm doing a 20 to 30 set. For most, the basic patch or a single stomp will likely be all I need. But for some songs snap shot would be brilliant because it would allow me to switch tones within the same patch, not only by switching on or off multiple fx at the same time but also change parameters, all with a single foot switch..something you can't do in stomp mode. For playing Brighton Rock, Ramble on, Feel like makimg love etc etc snap shots 'patch within a patch' would be brilliant. Currently I have to program multiple patches and have these all next to each other.
But for other numbers I might just want to keep it simple e.g. kick in a boost or distortion or wah, when all I need is stomp box mode for more freedom where I won't have had to set up a snapshot. For example we might decide to lengthen a number like Jumping Jack Flash or Roadhouse Blues and on the spur I might want to throw in some wah or turn off a distortion for a quieter section before kicking in the distortion pedal again. I then need to switch to another patch for the next number. So I'd need to toggle between stomp and snap shot and patch mode.
The whole idea would be to make the best use of what Pod Go can do. For me it's that functionality that makes Pod Go stand out from the crowd. Something like the Mooer GE300 may have more processing power with 15 blocks, and tone capture, and a synth that I don't need, but it's the comparative simplicity and immediacy of Pod Go for gigging with its snapshots and Helix quality amp and fx modeling that appeals to me.
If my loathing of the 2 foot switches at once thing seems out of proportion, it's because I've had bad experiences with this at gigs.
So, thoughts?

So I'm confused. In the words of Dire Strait's 'Industrial Disease' - "Two men think they're Jesus, one of them must be wrong!" - so, either the boys from Yamaha have got it wrong or the manual's written wrong...I suspect it's more likely the manual!
Anything but the groundhog day-like discussion regarding the minutiae of how it switches patches.
