01ZNR (Zoom Noise Reduction) — built-in
Essential for tight stops on detuned chugs; place before amp model
02Graphic EQ (built-in)
Scoop mids at 400-800Hz for the nu-metal thump; boost lows and upper-mids for attack definition
The Zoom B1 Four is a bass multi-FX unit — its amp models and EQ are voiced for bass frequencies, not guitar. The MS 1959 model approximates Marshall grind but will lack the tight 80-200Hz guitar-cab focus. Scooping 400-800Hz via the GEQ compensates for the bass-forward voicing. Your GRG170DX's Infinity humbuckers are hotter than the original JBs, so gain 8 (not 9-10) keeps the tone from becoming muddy. This rig will approximate the vibe but cannot fully replicate the percussive tightness of a real guitar head — a dedicated guitar amp or multi-FX (Zoom G1 Four, Boss Katana) is the correct tool.
