Why these settings

Your AD15VT's 'UK Modern' model approximates a hot-rodded Marshall voicing with the mid-forward bark Page got from cranked Marshalls. The Carvin DC200's humbuckers are hotter and warmer than Page's setup, so I dropped bass to 4 to prevent mud and kept treble moderate at 6—your humbuckers won't replicate the 12-string chime but will nail the crunchy rhythm and solo tones. Gain at 6 gives edge-of-breakup that cleans up with picking dynamics.

PRO TIPPage's original riff has a percussive, muted attack—use your picking hand to lightly palm-mute the strings and release on accents to get that slinky, train-like propulsion. For the solo section, roll your tone knob down to 6 and dig in harder for wah-like tonal sweep without an actual pedal.
