Why these settings

Your Epiphone Les Paul Classic has humbuckers vs Fogerty's P-90s/Rickenbacker single coils, so I rolled treble back to 6 (not 7) and pushed mids to 7 to compensate for the humbucker's warmer, thicker output. Gain stays low at 4 — this is a clean-platform tone where the amp isn't crunching. The 'US Deluxe Nrm' model on Pod Go gives the Fender-style clean headroom closest to the Kustom's solid-state clarity.

PRO TIPTune down to D standard (DGCFAD) — Fogerty did this on many CCR tracks including this one. It adds string resonance and that slightly looser, swampy feel. Pick closer to the bridge with a firm attack to get that signature country-rock snap.
