RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. A Fulltone OCD, Boss SD-1, or Behringer TO800 clone will get you the pushed-Plexi crunch this tone needs. The DNAFX may have an internal OD block — if so, enable it with these relative settings.
Your Ibanez GRX70QA has humbuckers (Infinity R pickups) vs the original's single-coil Strat — your output is hotter and warmer, so I dropped bass -0.5 and kept treble moderate to preserve the edgy attack. The DNAFX AmP20 is a budget modeling unit; select the Marshall/British-voiced amp model. Without a dedicated OD pedal, the amp's gain alone will sound thinner than the Plexi+OCD stack — I've pushed gain to 6 to compensate, but a cheap OD pedal in front would complete the tone.
