Why these settings

The Yamaha RGX121Z bridge humbucker matches Herman Li's hot DiMarzio setup well, so the high-gain British model on your Soran multi-FX provides the core saturation. Running the MXR Distortion+ with output high and distortion low tightens the sub-bass flub and sharpens the picking transient needed for 200 BPM galloping. Mids are boosted to 7 to prevent the guitar from getting buried behind the fast rhythm and synth tracks.

PRO TIPUse a rigid, sharp pick (like a 1.14mm+ Jazz III) and pick strictly close to the bridge with minimal wrist travel to keep 16th-note alternate picking clear at high tempo.
