Why these settings

Because the mini-amp is an unrecognized practice unit with minimal onboard EQ, use its drive channel at gain 7 to capture the core saturation and sustain directly. Rolling your guitar tone back to 8 softens the solid-state harshness to mimic Gilmour's smooth Hiwatt top-end. Adding a real Ram's Head Big Muff and delay pedal will immediately close the gap—switch the amp clean and set gain to 2 once you have them.

PRO TIPPick with the meat of your thumb alongside the pick edge (subtle pinch harmonic grip) to introduce Gilmour's signature vocal-like upper harmonic bloom on sustained bends.
