Why these settings

The 80S ROCK model captures Slash's modified JCM800 front-end while the onboard OVERDRIVE provides the singing sustain. Running your Ibanez RGA42FM's neck humbucker with the tone rolled down to 6 softens the modern ceramic attack to emulate Slash's warmer, spongey Alnico II neck pickup. Treble is tamed at 5 and mids pushed to 8 via the encoder menu to deliver the iconic vocal midrange push. Clean outro solo: switch to bridge pickup and roll tone back up to 10.

PRO TIPPick with the rounded shoulder of a heavy pick slightly angled against the string over the neck pickup to recreate Slash's liquid, flute-like attack on the bent notes.
