Why these settings

The Zeny Cyd-10 is a basic entry-level practice amp with a 2-band EQ (no dedicated mid control) and a single speaker that easily fizzes out, so engage its built-in drive switch at gain 8 to deliver Randy's heavy distortion natively. To compensate for single-coil Strat bridge pickups compared to Randy's humbuckers, roll the guitar tone knob down to 8 to tame harsh high-end bite while keeping the amp treble moderate. Adding an MXR Distortion+ pedal later is the ultimate upgrade to recreate his signature clipped clipping structure.

PRO TIPPick aggressively near the bridge with a stiff pick to emulate Randy's tight percussive attack, and use light palm muting on the open A pedal notes of the main F#m riff to keep the low end tight.
