Why these settings

The Hot Rod Deluxe is naturally scooped and bright compared to Marshall-style amps. Mid pushed to 7 compensates for Fender's mid-scoop; treble dropped to 5 tames the 6kHz shelf. Your JH-600's EMG 81 bridge pickup is hot and compressed, so gain stays moderate at 5 to avoid mud. A TS-style pedal is strongly recommended to achieve the tight, focused crunch this tone requires — without it, the Hot Rod's drive channel will feel loose and undefined.

PRO TIPRoll your guitar's volume knob to 7-8 during verses for cleaner passages, then slam it to 10 for choruses — the EMG's active circuit maintains clarity even backed off, and the Hot Rod responds well to this dynamic control.
