Why these settings

The Cube's CLASSIC STACK voices a Marshall-style midrange bark similar to the Valvestate 8080. Gain at 5 replicates the moderate crunch of the original—Noel's dirt came from the Space Echo preamp and amp breakup, not high gain. Mids pushed to 7 and treble pulled to 5 compensate for the Cube's slightly brighter COSM modeling vs the warmer Valvestate/WEM blend. The onboard WARM delay approximates the RE-201's tape character.

PRO TIPRoll your guitar's tone knob down to 6-7 during the verse for that pillowy neck-humbucker warmth, then open it to 8-9 on the chorus swells to let the upper harmonics bloom—Noel's dynamics came from the hands, not the amp.
