Used as light clean boost for shimmer, not heavy overdrive
The Fender Deluxe Reverb is brighter and more scooped than the Vox AC30, so mids are pushed +1 and bass cut -1 to retain Edge's vocal mid-forward clarity. Your Les Paul's humbuckers are warmer and darker than his Strat's single coils, so treble is set to 7 with bright switch on and tone knob at 9 to recover sparkle. The TS is set low-drive as a clean boost to add attack without muddying the delays.
