Why these settings

The ID:Core V3 has no presence knob so that value is null. Iommi ran the Laney with bass at 0-5 and treble/mid maxed because the Rangemaster added all his grit and upper-mid harmonics. Without a treble booster, push mid and treble +1 each on the ID:Core to compensate for missing that pedal's frequency lift. OD1 voice gives the British-flavored crunch closest to the Laney Supergroup without fizz. Your Epiphone humbuckers are hotter than Iommi's early SG pickups so gain stays moderate at 6.

PRO TIPTune to C# standard (3 half-steps down) — the loose string flap against the frets is essential to the doom growl; playing in standard pitch misses the entire physical character of the riff. A Rangemaster-style treble booster pedal (TC Electronic Spark Booster, EHX LPB-1, or Analogman Beano Boost clone) would get you 90% closer to the original sizzle if you add one later.
