Original used high-output humbuckers into cranked Marshalls. Your SRV Strat's Texas Special single coils are brighter and lower output, so I've pushed mids to 7 (vs typical 6-7 on the original) to compensate for the Strat's natural mid-scoop, and rolled treble back to 5 to tame single-coil ice-pick. Gain at 5 gives you that singing sustain without fizz—the original's saturation came from tube compression, which the Spark's modeling approximates at moderate gain. Neck pickup with tone rolled to 6 fattens the single coil toward humbucker warmth.
