Why these settings

The Ibanez IBZ10GV2 is an entry practice amp with a 2-band EQ (Bass and Treble only, with no mid or presence knobs), so its onboard Distortion switch must be engaged at Gain 7 to deliver the aggressive drive. Your GRX20 bridge humbucker matches Dany's bridge humbucker output nicely, so keeping bass at 5 prevents the small 6.5-inch speaker from farting out on palm mutes. If you later acquire a fuzz pedal, switch the amp to Clean with Gain at 2 to avoid double-gain mush. Clean verse: roll your guitar volume down to around 4 or switch to the neck pickup.

PRO TIPDany physically plays this riff in Drop D tuning (D-A-D-G-B-E) with heavy microtonal quarter-step bends on the low string—tune your GRX20 down to Drop D (or Drop C# to match the record pitch) and dig in hard with a stiff pick near the bridge.
