The original recording uses acoustic guitar, not electric. Your Strat through the Hot Rod DeVille cannot replicate an acoustic tone — this is a fundamental instrument mismatch. The settings above give you the closest 'clean, warm, articulate' electric approximation: neck pickup with rolled-off tone mimics acoustic warmth, low gain preserves dynamics, boosted mids add body to compensate for the Strat's natural scoop. The SansAmp is irrelevant here — leave it off.
