Why these settings

Your Marshall JCM800 2203 is the exact core amplifier used by Slash, so the amp preamp gain provides the primary overdrive without an external dirt pedal. The Ibanez GRG131DX ceramic pickups are slightly brighter and hotter than Slash's Alnico II Pro humbuckers, so the tone knob is rolled back to 7 and amp treble is kept moderate to achieve the smooth, flute-like vocal lead response. Use the NUX MG-101 strictly in the effects loop for studio-style delay and plate reverb.

PRO TIPFlip strictly to the neck pickup and pick with heavy, angled downstrokes near the neck joint; rolling your guitar tone knob down to 6-7 removes ceramic pick harshness and nails Slash's signature 'woman tone' sustain.
