Original uses humbuckers and acoustic guitar. Your Strat's single-coils are brighter and lower output, so gain is pushed to 3 to add body, bass raised to 6 for warmth, and treble cut to 5 to prevent ice-pick highs. Neck pickup with tone rolled to 7 mimics the humbucker's smooth mid-range. The NUX MG-101's JCM800 model preserves the Marshall mid-forward character without the harshness.
