Why these settings

The MG10CF is a solid-state practice amp with limited headroom and a brighter, thinner voicing than DeLeo's tube rig. I pushed mids to 7 to compensate for the MG's naturally scooped character and kept treble at 5 to avoid harsh transistor fizz. Your Washburn's humbuckers will help approximate the Les Paul's warmth, but the amp's gain structure won't deliver the same harmonic complexity—this gets you the ballpark crunch and note definition.

PRO TIPRoll your guitar's tone knob to 7 and dig in with your pick near the neck pickup area—this softens the attack and adds the warm, slightly compressed character that defines the Plush riff, compensating for the solid-state amp's harsher transients.
