Why these settings

Unlike Dime's scooped rhythm tone, the Floods solo relies on a warm, mid-forward neck pickup voice with thick sustain. On the GT-1's SOLID STACK model, mids are pushed to 7 while treble is rolled back to avoid the fizzy harshness typical of stock ceramic pickups on the JS22. The compressor block extends sustain without oversaturating the gain stages.

PRO TIPRoll your Jackson's tone knob back to 8 and pick smoothly with the flat of the pick over the 24th fret area to mimic the vocal, fluty response of Dime's Seymour Duncan '59 neck pickup.
