Why these settings

The MG30CFX Clean channel lacks a dedicated mid control - it uses a Contour knob on the Overdrive channel only. Original Fender cleans are scooped with sparkly highs; your Marshall Clean channel is relatively neutral, so bass 6 and treble 6 keep it balanced without harshness. The EC-1000's EMG 81/85 humbuckers run hotter than the original's single coils, so gain stays low at 3 to preserve the clean shimmer. Roll tone knob to 7 to tame the active pickup's brightness and approximate the Fender's softer top-end.

PRO TIPPick closer to the neck with the fleshy part of your fingers rather than hard downstrokes - Daylight's clean tone on this track breathes from a lighter, more relaxed right-hand attack that lets the reverb bloom naturally.
