Use as a light boost to fatten single coils and push mids—compensates for Strat's thinner output vs Les Paul humbuckers
Original uses Les Paul humbuckers into Marshall—thick, mid-punchy, warm. Your Strat single coils are brighter and thinner, so I dropped treble to 5 (vs Marshall's typical 6-7), pushed mid to 7 for that vocal bark, and kept bass moderate at 5 to avoid flub. The Mojo Mojo on low drive adds the midrange thickness and compression your single coils lack vs humbuckers. Dirty channel gain at 6 gives that responsive crunch without going into saturated territory—Kelly's tone breathes.
