Why these settings

Original used ADA MP-1 clean channel which is glassy and articulate. Katana Clean channel is voiced similarly neutral. Mid pushed to 6 compensates for Les Paul's darker voicing vs Carpenter's bright JB pickup. Treble kept modest at 5 because your humbuckers are warmer than his — prevents mud without harshness. Gain at 3 keeps it pristine.

PRO TIPRoll your tone knob to 7 on the neck pickup to capture that warm, slightly veiled quality of the verse — wide open sounds too harsh for this dreamy tone. Let chords ring and use light pick attack.
