I play at home, and use a valve hi-fi amp into a pair of 1x12s loaded with V30s. The amp has no tone controls and no voicing, and sounds pretty bland. I got a G3X for the amp sims and it makes all the difference to my setup.
It is worth spending some time with it to work out what sounds you like. I guess the first thing everybody does is go through all the patches, and then use an empty patch to check out all of the virtual pedals and amps individually, giving each a twiddle to get an idea of what they can do. You could spend a very long time getting into the nuances of each thing, but I tended to stop at amps that sounded in the ballpark and investigated them more. It's also a good idea to try different cab models when you find an amp you like - of my three main sounds, none uses the cab proper to the amp. (Fender Twin uses the Bassman 4x10, plexi Marshal has no cab, and Carr Mercury uses the Two Rock 1x12.)
It's important to remember that the amp/speaker system you play it through can affect the sound. A proper hi-fi or monitoring system would affect it very little, while a guitar combo can affect it quite a lot. It took me a few days to decide that I like the plexi Marshall with no cab model - just the physical V30s at the end of the chain. Similarly, you might need to change things around for recording DI or playing into headphones.
Overall, sound quality is excellent and it's superb value for money.
