Why these settings

The Ibanez ICHI000 uses single-coil pickups compared to Funtwo's high-output Seymour Duncan JB humbucker, so engage the NUX MG-30's onboard boost block with level pushed to saturate the Cali Dual amp model. Compensate for the single coil's brighter top-end by slightly bumping mids to 6 and keeping bass at 5 to prevent thinness during fast alternate picking runs. The onboard digital delay and plate reverb blocks fully replicate the 2005 Line 6 POD XT direct-recording chain.

PRO TIPFuntwo relies heavily on light, precise sweep picking and economy picking with heavy compression; pick close to the bridge with a stiff, pointed pick (1.0mm+) and rest the palm lightly on the lower strings for clean arpeggio articulation without string bleed.
