Why these settings

The THR10II's HI GAIN mode approximates the tight rectifier voicing. Mids dropped to 2 replicates Carpenter's signature scoop. Your Pacifica's Alnico V bridge humbucker is lower output than a JB, so gain is set to 7 (vs the original's ~8) to avoid fizz while maintaining definition. Bass stays at 6 rather than the original's 6.5 because the THR's smaller speaker cannot reproduce the same low-end thump without getting muddy.

PRO TIPPalm mute hard and close to the bridge — Carpenter's percussive attack comes from extremely tight muting technique, not just amp settings. The tone lives in your right hand.
