Why these settings

The Stagg 10 GA is a small 10W practice amp with a 6.5-inch speaker and a 3-band EQ, but no presence or onboard reverb. To match the massive Mesa/Marshall studio stack on Dude Ranch without making the small speaker muddy or fizzy, keep Gain at 6 for tight crunch and boost Treble to 7 for the iconic intro riff bite. Your Harley Benton SC-400 has ceramic humbuckers that provide ample punch, so keeping Bass at 5 prevents the small cabinet from farting out.

PRO TIPPick aggressively with strict downstrokes right near the bridge saddles using a heavy pick (0.88mm+) to get the immediate, percussive attack of the signature opening riff.
