The Valvestate 8100's OD1 channel delivers the exact late-90s solid-state/hybrid Marshall bite used on the track. Keep the 8100's Contour knob around 4.5 so the midrange stays punchy and doesn't become overly scooped. The Ibanez ARC300 humbuckers have a slightly modern high-end snap, so rolling the guitar tone back to 8 prevents harshness.
