Why these settings

The Katana 50 MkII lacks a physical Presence knob so it is set to null. Using the Lead voice captures the tight, cascaded Mesa/Marshall hybrid crunch of the Minutes to Midnight sessions. Because your Epiphone Les Paul Classic has higher-output humbuckers with naturally thick low-mids, amp gain is pulled back slightly to 6 and treble is kept at 6 to ensure punchy articulation without muddying up the drop-D rhythm chords.

PRO TIPTune your 6th string down to Drop D (D-A-D-G-B-E) and use aggressive, precise downstrokes near the bridge to get the signature tight percussive attack of the main riff.
