Why these settings

The Derailed Ingrid model in Pod Go is the direct Two Rock emulation — use it. Your American Pro II Strat has V-Mod II pickups which are slightly hotter and brighter than Mayer's Big Dipper set, so I rolled treble down 1 point from the original and kept mids strong at 7 to capture that warm, vocal midrange. The Minotaur block is critical — without it, the tone lacks the subtle compression and harmonic bloom that defines this sound.

PRO TIPGravity's magic is in the right hand. Use your fingertips (not a pick) for the main riff and verse, digging in harder for accents. Roll your guitar volume to 7-8 for the verse, then push to 10 for the solo climax — the clean amp will respond dynamically. Keep your tone knob at 7 to tame any ice-pick highs on the high E string bends.
