01M-Vave Tank G Compressor (Mod Block)
Even out strumming transients and add acoustic-like snap
02M-Vave Tank G Room Reverb (Space Block)
Subtle studio room ambience
Because the original is a pristine acoustic steel-string guitar, you need an ultra-clean, glassy response from your solid-body Ibanez GIO. Using position 4 (bridge humbucker split with the middle single coil) yields a scooped, quacky attack that mimics acoustic pick snap. On the Tank G, keep preamp gain down near 1, pull bass back to avoid magnetic pickup boominess, and push treble to 8 for acoustic air.
