Why these settings

The Bogner Uberschall is a mid-heavy high-gain amp with tight lows. Your MG30CFX OD1 channel is voiced closer to a JCM800 with looser low-end, so bass drops to 4 to avoid mud and mid pushes to 7 to capture the Bogner's bark. Gain 7 reaches usable saturation without fizzing out the solid-state preamp. The MG30CFX has no presence control — its treble at 6 covers upper-mid bite.

PRO TIPPalm-mute hard and pick closer to the bridge for that percussive gallop attack — the Invader pickup's output and Gates's aggressive right hand define this tone as much as the amp.
