Why these settings

The NUX Mighty Lite BT MK II's OD2 channel approximates JCM800-style voicing. Pushed mids to 7 (vs Marshall's natural 5-6) because digital modeling needs explicit mid emphasis to replicate that Marshall bark. Your MT-130's EMG humbuckers are hotter than passive ESPs, so gain dropped from original 8 to 7 to prevent oversaturation. Treble at 6 controls the active pickup brightness without losing string definition.

PRO TIPPalm-mute with moderate pressure on the low E—too tight kills the sustain Carpenter needs for those droning power chords, too loose turns it into mush. Let the notes breathe between the chugs.
