Why these settings

The Joyo DC-15S features single Gain and Tone knobs across its amp models rather than a 3-band EQ, so EQ bands are omitted. Select the Overdrive or Lead voice and push Gain to around 7 to simulate Iommi's cranked Laney Supergroup pushed hard by a Rangemaster boost. On your Yamaha Pacifica, select the bridge humbucker and roll the tone back slightly to 8 to soften modern top-end sizzle and capture the punchy bite of vintage P-90s.

PRO TIPHit power chords aggressively near the bridge with a medium pick, letting the notes ring out firmly without over-muting to mimic Iommi's thick, sustaining vibrato.
