Why these settings

The Tank G is a multi-FX unit with amp modeling — select the Marshall Plexi-style model (often labeled MS1959 or CRUNCH). Jimi's tone came from a cranked Plexi plus germanium Fuzz Face, so the fuzz block does the heavy lifting here. Your GRG170DX has hotter ceramic humbuckers vs Jimi's single coils, so I dropped amp treble to 5 and rolled guitar tone to 7 to tame the brightness. Amp gain stays at 4 because the fuzz block provides the saturation — stacking high amp gain with fuzz creates undefined mush.

PRO TIPJimi controlled cleanup by rolling his guitar volume to 6-7 for the verse chords and full 10 for the riff attacks — practice riding that knob mid-song to get the dynamic range that makes this tone breathe.
