Why these settings

Blaster recorded the iconic solo using single coils into a Fender clean platform pushed by a Boss BD-2, which gives a bright, open attack with thick low-mids. On your Marshall JMD:1, Preamp 6 provides the smooth harmonic saturation while your Les Paul humbuckers naturally add body; using the neck pickup with tone slightly rolled off to 8 replicates that flute-like, singing top end. The Boss FB-2 adds the necessary upper-mid push and sustain in place of a BD-2 without introducing fizzy clipping. Clean intro/verse: bypass the FB-2 booster and roll guitar volume down to 6.

PRO TIPPick smoothly near the neck pickup using a medium pick angle; the singing sustain in the Mundo solo relies heavily on picking dynamics, wide vibrato, and continuous legato rather than aggressive pick attack.
