The Classic 30 runs clean on its Normal channel with a warmer, mid-focused American chime that fits Dan Auerbach's production well. Because your Ibanez GRG170DX has hotter humbuckers than a vintage single-coil/Jazzmaster, roll guitar volume back to 8 and tone to 7 to prevent unwanted preamp clipping and tame excess top-end bite. The Classic 30 lacks a presence control and separate normal gain knob, so use the built-in spring reverb generously to nail the cinematic noir space.
