Why these settings

The Marshall DSL1HR is naturally brighter than Slash's Silver Jubilee, and your Stratocaster single coils have less low-mid thickness than his Alnico II humbuckers. Treble is pulled back to 4 on the amp with guitar tone rolled to 7, while the Zoom G1X Four booster block fattens the front-end signal. The DSL1HR head has no physical presence control, so that value is omitted.

PRO TIPPick smoothly near the neck pickup using a heavy pick and lean heavily into slow, wide, singing vibrato to emulate Slash's vocal-like sustain.
