Why these settings

Your Fender Twin Reverb matches Marley's original studio amp platform directly. Since your Epiphone Les Paul Studio has humbuckers instead of Marley's brighter P-90s, using the middle pickup position with the amp's Bright switch engaged restores the crisp percussive snap needed for the reggae skank rhythm. Bass is kept at 4 to prevent low-end boom and leave room for the bassline.

PRO TIPPlay tightly on the offbeats (the 'and' of each beat) using sharp staccato chops, muting the strings instantly with your fretting hand after each stroke to get that iconic percussive reggae skank.
