Your Mark IIC+ is actually the gold standard for this tone—Tremonti's MT 15 was voiced chasing this exact Mark Series character. The IIC+ lead channel with boost engaged delivers that tight, mid-forward aggression he's known for. Gain at 6 (not maxed) preserves pick articulation; mids at 7 provide the punch his Rectifier/MT rig achieves through layering. Your Les Paul's hotter PAF-style humbuckers versus his PRS pickups means you don't need extra gain push.
