Your Squier Esquire's single-coil bridge pickup is significantly lower output and brighter than the original's humbuckers. Gain pushed to 8 compensates for lower pickup output. Mids scooped to 3 mimics the Rectifier's characteristic V-shape, but the MG30's voicing won't get as tight in the low-end—bass at 6 keeps it controlled without mud. Treble at 7 adds the necessary aggression your single-coil naturally provides.
