Why these settings

The Peavey Rage 158 is a solid-state practice amp with limited headroom — it won't produce organic tube breakup, so the DS-2 becomes your primary gain source. Amp gain stays low (2) to keep the platform clean and let the DS-2 define the dirt. The Mustang's single coils are bright and low-output, so mid is pushed to 6 for body and treble is restrained at 5 to prevent ice-pick highs through the Rage's solid-state treble response.

PRO TIPRoll your Mustang's tone knob to 7 instead of wide open — this tames the brittle high-end that single coils push through solid-state amps while keeping enough cut to stay present in the mix.
