Why these settings

Bogner Ecstasy clean is warm and glassy; the GE100's AC Clean model approximates this with its chimey top-end. The original used neck-pickup warmth and rolled volume to 7 for the fingerpicked verses — replicate this exactly on your Ibanez. The GRX20Z's humbuckers are hotter than Cantrell's G&L single-coil-sized humbucker, so gain is dropped to 2 to stay pristine. Bass is pulled to 5 (vs original 6) because the AC Clean voice is naturally fuller in the low-mids than a Bogner.

PRO TIPFingerpick the Em and D arpeggios with your thumb and first two fingers instead of a pick — the original tone relies on the softer attack and uneven dynamics of fingers to sit under Layne's vocal without competing. Pick attack destroys the delicate chorus wash.
