There are several things to consider when selecting a cab/mic combinations for your patches. ''Your main considerations should be the general tone and feel of the cab/mic and whether frequencies are plain noisy or missing.''

When not using Studio/Direct output mode, selecting a cab enables "live-voiced cabs" which are a mild EQ effect designed to color your actual cab's sound to be more like the one selected. I tend not to use these, instead selecting "no cab". They seem to muffle the high end a bit.

I used to have a kind of order on how to dial in all the controls, but I find since they are all related to each other and can impact how you use other controls (like compression and EQ), it's best to try to experiment with them, compensating other areas. I like to copy my patches and A/B them to see if the changes help or hurt, then commit or discard the change and try a new experiment.

I default this to 0%. I prefer to use a reverb effect if I want to add a little space to the tone, but for a metal rhythm I generally don't want space at all. The only time E.R. would be useful in my opinion, is if you have already maxed out your effects blocks or DSP and want some additional reverb/space. It doesn't sound bad, but you get more control and a better sound from a reverb effect. Sometimes, I set it to between 0 and 10% to add a minor touch of ambiance to the tone where I don't feel that effect is worth adding a whole Reverb effect.
