Why these settings

The Marshall JCM900 Lead channel delivers the core late-80s British crunch, but the BD-2 is placed in front as a low-gain boost to add punch and sustain without mud. Because your American Ultra Stratocaster has single-coil/noiseless character with higher treble than Shahrul's humbucker superstrat, mid is bumped to 7 and guitar tone is rolled slightly back to 9 to tame top-end spike. Your JHS Angry Charlie is bypassed since the JCM900's native drive channel natively supplies the authentic Marshall saturation.

PRO TIPUse a pointed, heavy pick (1.0mm+) with very light edge-picking angle to keep rapid alternate picking passages clean and distinct against the high gain.
