Why these settings

The original cut used a vintage British Selmer/Vox setup with ES-325 semi-hollow humbuckers. On your GE100, the UK 30 model captures the jangly British chime, pushed with mid at 7 and bass cut to 4 to prevent Strat single coils on the Lyon LE10 from sounding flubby. Treble is kept at 6 with the guitar tone at 8 to take the thin edge off standard single-coil pickups while preserving the biting attack.

PRO TIPDig in hard near the bridge with medium pick angle on the 16th-note rhythm pulses—the 'synth-like' texture comes from sharp transient pick attack bouncing off the short delay reflections rather than heavy gain.
