Why these settings

Because the Konzert AV502 is a flat-response PA amplifier rather than a dedicated guitar amp, all amp modeling, overdrive, and cabinet simulation must come entirely from the Zoom G1Xon processor. Keep the AV502 tone controls flat at 5 so the MS 800 model and 4x12 cab block accurately reproduce the Dual Rectifier and JCM800 blend without unshaped solid-state clipping. Clean intro/verse: bypass the MS 800 drive block on the Zoom G1Xon while keeping the compressor active.

PRO TIPBrad Delson's rhythm sound relies on heavy, authoritative downpicking right over the bridge pickup to keep the palm-muted chugs punchy and clear without getting muddy.
