Why these settings

The Cube 30's R-FIER channel is its closest voice to a 5150-style high-gain amp — use it. The Cube lacks the 5150's tight low-end response, so bass is dropped from the original's 5 to 4, and mids pushed from 5.5 to 7 to compensate for the Cube's tendency to get muddy under high gain. Your RG420EX's Quantum humbuckers are hotter than passive DiMarzios, so gain stays at 8 rather than pushing higher. Without a boost pedal in front, the attack will be slightly less defined than the original.

PRO TIPDuplantier's percussive tone comes from extremely precise palm-muting technique — mute hard and close to the bridge, release cleanly for the open stabs. The Whammy octave-up effect in the verse is impossible to replicate without the pedal, but the main riff tone is achievable.
