Why these settings

The Oranye LG-05 is an unrecognized compact practice amplifier with a basic layout, so mid and presence controls are set to null while keeping universal controls tailored to Page's live Marshall Plexi attack. Your Epiphone Slash Les Paul provides the necessary PAF-style bridge humbucker bite, so keep gain around 6 on the amp's drive setting for crunchy riff articulation without excessive modern saturation. Adding a transparent overdrive in front down the road will help push the amp into natural British tube sustain.

PRO TIPDig in with a heavy pick angle close to the bridge for the staccato riff chugs, and roll back your guitar volume to 7-8 to instantly get Page's dynamic clean-up between heavy phrases.
