To get the ZZ Top tone, set your Plexi amp to these settings: Volume 7; Volume II 2; Bass 1; Mid 10; Treble 9; and Presence 2. The cabinet is also going to need some adjustments too. Move the mic slider 80 percent to the right on mic B and the Dry/Air mix to 3.31. The master volume on the cab should be at 7.
I only added one effect in the whole setup and that is a Treble Booster. I have the Boost set at 6 and the Bright set at 8.
