Why these settings

You's original tone relied on high-gain Marshall JCM900/TriAmp heads tightened with an overdrive boost and active EMG pickups. Because the Grassroots G-FR-56G uses passive humbuckers, pushing mids to 7 and running the Zoom compressor/booster blocks tightens the palm-muted attack to replicate his EMG compression. Amp gain is kept around 7 to preserve articulation in fast legato and riffing without turning muddy.

PRO TIPPick sharply with a stiff, heavy pick angled slightly toward the bridge to emphasize the 4-6 kHz attack transient crucial for You's fast runs and pinch harmonics.
