Why these settings

The Boss DS-1 is your primary gain source, so the Tour 700 preamp gain stays low at 3 to prevent muddy double-clipping. Peter's classic Peavey tone relied on scooped mids with heavy low thump and high sizzle from piezo horns, so scoop the Tour 700 graphic/mid controls around 600-800Hz while boosting low bass and 3kHz top end. For the intro and quiet clean breakdowns, bypass the DS-1 while keeping the CH-1 chorus and delay engaged.

PRO TIPTune to B standard (B-E-A-D) using heavy gauge strings and strike aggressively near the bridge with a thick pick (1.0mm+) to produce the metallic, chainsaw attack Steele got with his piezo-loaded setups.
