Why these settings

The M.J.Douglas G-50 is an unrecognized small practice amp so knob names may differ on your faceplate. The original 6505 tone is tight and mid-scooped with massive saturation. Your amp likely cannot reach true 6505 saturation levels so gain is pushed to 8 to maximize available dirt. Mid is set slightly scooped at 4 to approximate the 6505 character while treble at 7 maintains the aggressive bite. Bass is moderated to 5 to prevent muddiness through a small speaker. A distortion pedal like a Boss DS-1 or ProCo RAT would get you significantly closer to this tone.

PRO TIPPalm-mute tightly right at the bridge saddles for that percussive chunk on the main riff and dig in hard with the pick angled slightly for maximum attack definition.
