Where is my mind amp settings — Fender Mustang LT25

Gibson Les Paul Standard → Marshall JCM800 50-watt (clean/edge of breakup for riff) → Marshall 4x12; ProCo RAT for distorted sections

Original used Les Paul humbuckers which are warmer and fatter than your Strat's single coils. Compensate by using neck pickup, rolling tone to 6, and boosting mids +1 from original settings. Dropped treble from 6 to 5 because Fender-style modeling is naturally brighter than the Marshall clean channel Santiago used. The Mustang's Twin model has the lush spring reverb this song demands.
