Why these settings

The JVM410H Crunch Orange mode replicates a hot-rodded JCM800 circuit, providing the exact core saturation Vivian Campbell achieved with his 2203. Your Ibanez Tone Zone bridge pickup is thick and modern, so running the TS808 as a clean boost with Drive near zero cuts excessive sub-bass rumble and adds the focused upper-mid push of the original DiMarzio X2N. Set Resonance on the JVM faceplate to 5 to keep the palm-muted chugs tight without overpowering the midrange bark. Leave the Carbon Copy bypassed for rhythm; engage it with mix at 3 for the solo.

PRO TIPPick forcefully directly over the bridge pickup with a heavy, sharp pick; Vivian Campbell's signature percussive chug comes from digging into the strings with aggressive palm-muting right against the bridge saddles.
