Why these settings

The Ibanez GRX70QA ceramic bridge humbucker is punchy and high-output, so keeping the Tube Drive block's gain low prevents digital clipping while tightening the bass. On the Nux MG-100, pairing the mid-focused overdrive with the Lead 800 model provides smooth sustain without harsh high-end fizz. Presence is set to null because the MG-100 utilizes a 3-band global EQ per amp model.

PRO TIPPick with the flat edge of a medium-heavy pick near the middle pickup zone rather than close to the bridge saddles to keep the sustained single-note attack warm and round.
