Why these settings

The Jackson JS22 ceramic bridge humbucker has plenty of bite, so mid-range is boosted to match Myles Kennedy's thick Gibson rhythm tone while keeping treble balanced. The Zoom G6 MS 800 block is pushed with a clean TS Drive boost block to recreate the tight, percussive attack of the track's main riff without adding excessive low-end flub.

PRO TIPDig in heavily with a thick pick (1.0mm+) right near the bridge to get that sharp, percussive transient on the syncopated root-note chugs.
