Why these settings

The Ving FB-100 is an unrecognized amplifier model, so generic core parameters are applied and unverified controls are omitted. To capture Dave Grohl's Dual Rectifier sound, the amp's high-gain channel is pushed to 7 while scooping the mids to 4 to replicate the punchy modern-rock frequency profile. Your Ibanez GRX70QA bridge humbucker delivers the necessary output and bite without needing extra treble compensation. Clean verse intro: roll your guitar volume back to 4-5 or pick lightly near the neck.

PRO TIPDrop the low E string to D and hit all six strings with an aggressive, even downstroke rhythm near the bridge to get that signature tight chug and sustained ring.
