Why these settings

The Ibanez IBZ3R is a compact practice amp with a 2-band EQ (Bass/Treble) and built-in Reverb, lacking Mid and Presence controls. To emulate the studio-compressed DI sound, keep the gain low on the clean channel and push Treble to 7 for vintage single-coil 'quack' and chime. Add Reverb around 5 to create the wide stereo ballad space of the record.

PRO TIPSelect position 4 (neck + middle) on your Strat and pick lightly with your thumb and fingers near the bridge to accentuate the clean percussive snap.
