Why these settings

Original uses a Fender Twin (scooped mids, bright treble shelf) into a Jaguar neck single-coil. Your MG30CFX Clean channel is darker and more mid-forward than a Twin, so mid pushed to 8 to match the articulation, treble dropped to 5 (Marshall treble runs hotter), bass cut to 5 to avoid mud. Gain at 2 gives the slight breakup on hard strums without losing clarity. The MG30CFX has no presence knob.

PRO TIPDig in with your pick on the downstrokes to get that percussive 'thwack' on the low E string—the original tone's dynamic response comes from Rivers hitting the strings hard into a clean amp, not from any effect.
