Why these settings

The Zoom GFX-707 replaces the cranked Randall solid-state front end using the high-gain Metal/MS drive model paired with an aggressive pre-amp mid scoop. The Ibanez Infinity R bridge humbucker has lower output than Dime's Bill Lawrence L-500XL, so keep gain at 8 and boost highs to 9 to match that razor-sharp top-end pick attack. Clean intro switch: bypass the drive block and use the clean acoustic-sim voice with volume rolled back to 7.

PRO TIPDig in hard near the bridge with an ultra-heavy, pointed pick (1.5mm+) to replicate Dimebag's percussive attack and harmonics.
