Why these settings

The Zoom G1Xon FD TWIN model replicates the warm, round clean headroom of a 65 Twin Reverb. Using your Clapton Strat in position 4 (neck+middle) with the TBX/mid-boost rolled completely flat preserves the hollow, vintage 'in-between' quack heard on the verses. The tone knob is pulled slightly back to 8 to tame digital top-end bite and smooth out the vocal-style vocal phrasing.

PRO TIPKeep your Eric Clapton mid-boost knob strictly at 0 for the verses to preserve vintage hollow dynamic response, then roll the boost up to 3-4 and dig in with pick attack during the emotional crescendo choruses.
