Why these settings

The Zoom G1X Four FD TWINR model accurately mimics the Fender clean platform, keeping gain low at 3 for pure headroom. Because your Ibanez GRGR221PA features ceramic humbuckers rather than single coils, the neck pickup with tone rolled back slightly to 8 softens the attack while mid is boosted to 6 to retain warm articulation. Internal delay and hall reverb blocks replace physical studio outboard gear without overloading the signal.

PRO TIPPick lightly with fingers or a thin pick closer over the 24th fret area rather than near the bridge to accentuate the round, pillowy fundamental notes that define this intro.
