Why these settings

The M-Vave Tank G's high-gain American amp slot emulates the Dual Rectifier core of Tremonti's rig. Because the Ibanez GRX40's Infinity R bridge humbucker has less low-end weight and output than Tremonti's signature PRS pickups, bass is bumped to 7 while mids are pulled to 4 to replicate the signature wall-of-sound scoop. For the clean intro/verses, switch the Tank G preset to a clean twin model with light chorus from the ME-50.

PRO TIPTremonti tunes to Drop D (D-A-D-G-B-E) with the 1st string dropped to D as well (D-A-D-G-B-D / Open D5 variant) for 'My Sacrifice'; tune to this open voicing and dig hard with a heavy 1.0mm+ pick right next to the bridge to get that massive, ringing low-end resonance.
