The Strokes recorded with Fender amps matching your Twin Reverb, so voicing translates directly. Your PRS humbuckers are hotter than the original P90s and single coils - rolling tone to 7 tames the extra treble bite. The Twin stays clean at high volumes so gain 4 with the bright switch gives you their controlled crunch without breakup; for the heavier sections, dig in harder with your pick rather than adding gain.
