Why these settings

The Vox AC10C1 is naturally bright and chimey with EL84s and no dedicated midrange knob, whereas Gary Moore used a warm, thick Marshall JTM45 and The Guv'nor. Your Boss DS-1 provides the high-gain singing sustain, so amp gain stays low at 2 to keep the platform clean and headroom open. Treble is dialed down to 4 on the amp and 3 on the DS-1 to eliminate ice-pick highs and emulate the fat British midrange.

PRO TIPFlip exclusively to the neck humbucker and roll the guitar tone knob back to around 7 to replicate Gary's signature fluty, violin-like sustain without high-frequency harshness.
