The Acoustasonic 15 is a dedicated acoustic amplifier with no gain staging or overdrive capability — it cannot replicate the electric lead guitar tones on this track. Your DC-580 is a solid-body electric with humbuckers, which is fundamentally mismatched for the J-200 acoustic rhythm sound that dominates the recording. Settings here optimize clean, warm amplification; rolling tone to 6 tames humbucker brightness. For the actual electric lead parts heard in the track, you would need an overdrive pedal (a Boss BD-2 or Tube Screamer clone would get you close).
