Why these settings

The Borne Vorax is a compact practice amp with non-standard controls, so it is set completely clean to let the Boss ME-70 handle all preamp saturation and Dallas Rangemaster boosting. Using the ME-70's OD boost into its British Stack preamp captures the cranked Laney Supergroup roar without muddiness on the C# tuning. The Memphis MG-130 humbuckers provide extra thickness, so the ME-70's treble and booster tone are pushed to maintain the signature Iommi pick bite.

PRO TIPTune your guitar down 1.5 steps (C#-F#-B-E-G#-C#) with light gauge strings and pick aggressively near the bridge to recreate Tony Iommi's unique slinky, percussive attack.
