Hello,

This is my first post here so let me say hello :). I'm begginer guitar player. I've almost played Black Night clean for the first time (intro, not solo of course ;)).
I'm new owner of GT 40. I had to chose between Katana 50 (to big for my small room and can store only few presets + I would need my PC to tune it) and Yamaha THR 10 (to quiet, only 5 presets and sound was better on youtube then during live playing at least for me. I've also dislike how it look). I've also owned Blackstar ID Core 10 v2 but it sounded really bad.

I've ended with GT 40 because I've really liked some sounds when guy from music shop was playing blues and I like it is really small, have BT/Wifi and a lot of tunning options. I've started playing with different presets and I got some nice tones but I want to ask some questions.

1. If there are some general tips that every new owner of GT 40 should know, like setting that you have to change
2. Should I play with Global EQ from main menu? Have not really seen is there is anything interesting because I did not have time to go there even :(
3. Can someone advice which cabinets I should use for Deep Purple/Maidens/Metallica? I understand that with this amp I can try to get best sound for particular song and it will be okay only for that song. There is so many tuning options..
4. I have problrm with finding right preset (or create my own) for 'Man on The silver Mountain' Intro and 'Self portait' from Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow. I just don't know which effects I should use in chain to get sound like that.
5. Are there any good metal presets for general use?
6. Which cabinets are best one?

I will try to play some Metallica/Iron Mainde today and I will see how good are community presets. Have found one for The Tropper and I'm really interested how it will sound.
I'm not sure if there are other small practice amps under 300$ with soo many options. I really can't but pedals and effects because of budget and space in my apartment. Helix 6 + speakers cost way too much :(.

Thanks in advance for help
