Why these settings

The signature 'woman tone' is defined by rolling the neck pickup tone knob completely to 0 on a high-gain British stack. Because your Strat has single-coil-sized Vintage Noiseless pickups, engage the onboard mid-boost circuit on the guitar around 4-5 to simulate the thick mid-push of Clapton's Gibson SG humbuckers into the Katana Crunch model. Treble and Presence are reduced to eliminate any remaining harsh single-coil bite while retaining full midrange body.

PRO TIPRoll the neck tone control all the way down to 0, run guitar volume at 10, and advance the Strat's onboard active TBX/mid-boost to roughly 4 to thicken the single-coil fundamental into true vocal-like humbucker sustain.
