Why these settings

Original used a Tele single-coil (bright, snappy) into an AC30 (Class A chime). Your Les Paul humbuckers are warmer and hotter, so I dropped gain from 7 to 5 to prevent mud and raised mids to 7 to recover the AC30's midrange bark. BRIT COMBO on the Cube 40GX approximates Vox voicing. Treble at 6 (not 7) compensates for humbucker darkness without getting harsh. The OCD on the original added edge and compression — your BRIT COMBO's gain stage handles this without a pedal.

PRO TIPRoll your tone knob to 7 (not full open) to tame the Les Paul's bridge humbucker harshness and get closer to the slightly rolled-off Tele sparkle; pick hard near the bridge with strict alternate picking to nail Turner's frantic attack.
