Why these settings

The original early Beatles tracks used chimey, low-output pickups plugged into clean Vox AC30s pushed just to the verge of breakup in Abbey Road Studio Two. Your Epiphone humbuckers are considerably darker and hotter, so select the middle pickup position and keep the Kustom amp gain low on the clean channel to prevent muddy solid-state clipping while boosting treble and mids to mimic the Vox top-end punch. The Kustom KGA10FX faceplate has no presence or independent master volume knobs, so presence and reverb are omitted in the primary EQ.

PRO TIPPick vigorously right near the bridge saddles with a thin-to-medium pick (0.60-0.73mm) to get that classic 1963 percussive, clanky attack without adding muddy low-end.
