Why these settings

The Zoom G1X Four uses the 'RECTI ORG' amp block to replicate the core Mesa Dual Rectifier studio tone. Because the Rogue Rocketeer RR100's stock bridge humbucker is slightly low-output compared to Brad Delson's PRS pickups, the TS Drive clean boost tightens the bass before hitting the amp model while treble is pushed to 7 for sharp bite. Gain is set to 7 on the amp model to keep the rhythm tracks punchy rather than mushy.

PRO TIPTune down to Drop D (D-A-D-G-B-E) and use heavy, deliberate palm muting right against the bridge saddles to get the sharp percussive cut heard on the verse and chorus rhythm hits.
