Why these settings

Your Strat's single coils are brighter and lower output than the original Telecaster, so I dropped treble from 8 to 7 and kept gain conservative at 3 to avoid ice-pick highs. The Strat bridge pickup lacks the Tele's steel baseplate 'spank,' so bumping mids to 5 compensates. Rolling tone to 8 tames the Strat's extra high-frequency content.

PRO TIPPick aggressively right near the bridge (within 1 inch) with a medium-stiff pick held at a slight angle — this replicates the percussive 'clack' attack that defines the riff. Palm-mute lightly on the low E string hits for that chunky rhythmic bounce.
