Why these settings

Your Kinsman BB10BS is a small practice amp without the Marshall's mid-forward voicing or headroom, so the GE100 must supply ALL the gain and EQ shaping — keep the Kinsman's gain at 3 or below to stay clean. Your Strat's single coils are brighter and lower output than Slash's Alnico II humbuckers, so I pushed mids hard (+2 vs original) and pulled treble back (-1) to compensate for the ice-pick frequencies. Roll tone knob to 8 to tame the extra Strat highs.

PRO TIPSlash tuned to Eb and used the guitar's volume knob rollback for the clean middle section — drop your volume to 6 for that part instead of switching patches, and you'll get the same dynamic cleanup he used on the original.
