The Blues Junior lacks the cascaded preamp gain of a Mesa Mark I and your Strat single-coils have less midrange push than Gilmour's vintage P-90s, so engage the 'FAT' boost and push the amp's mids to 8 and volume/gain to 8 for natural breakup. Roll the Strat neck tone knob down to 7 to replicate the darker, rounded resonance of that direct-to-desk P-90 tracking. Adding a compressor and smooth overdrive down the road will replicate the infinite studio sustain and allow you to back the amp gain down to clean headroom.
