Why these settings

The chapel GA-30R is a basic solid-state practice combo, so run its Overdrive channel at gain 8 to approximate the intense Toneforge digital distortion. Keep the bass lean at 4 and push mid and treble to match RJ's laser-focused DAW-sculpted harmonic bite without flubbing the small speaker. Adding a dedicated TS-style overdrive pedal out front in the future will dramatically tighten the low-end transient response.

PRO TIPUse a rigid, sharp heavy plectrum and pick aggressively close to the bridge with precise left-hand muting to mimic RJ's heavily edited, synth-like note separation.
