Why these settings

Original Marshall settings were Bass 5, Mid 8.5, Treble 7, Presence 8. Your Pacifica's Alnico V single coils are brighter and lower output than Slash's Alnico II humbuckers, so treble drops from 7 to 5 and bass drops slightly to 4 to avoid flabbiness. Mids stay high at 8 because this tone is defined by its mid-forward bark—do not scoop. Gain at 7 compensates for lower pickup output while the THR10II's LEAD channel (British voicing) approximates the Marshall grind.

PRO TIPTune down a half step to Eb standard—Slash's slinkier string tension is part of why this riff feels loose and aggressive rather than stiff. Also, the main riff tone is completely dry; only the intro feedback harmonics used delay.
