Why these settings

The HeadRush Prime models the Mesa/Boogie Mark I directly, pairing into the neutral FRFR-108. Since your Ibanez RG3EX1 features hotter humbuckers compared to Gilmour's airy P-90 single coils, rolling the guitar tone knob back to 7 smooths the humbucker top end while bumping amp mids to 7 preserves the vocal, horn-like bite. The aggressive compressor block in front recreates the DI console squash that gave the original its signature percussive snap and singing sustain.

PRO TIPPick with the flesh of your thumb or pick slightly angled toward the neck to soften the initial pick transient and emulate the round, tactile attack of Gilmour's hybrid picking on this solo.
