I guess you're going to use it for cover the song live? Use whatever sounds good enough. No listener will care anyway. I mean he didn't have the same exact sound live as on the album either.
The guy takes a long time to get there.....but he does talk through how he gets the tone, and it's quite good.
It is a single-coil sound, but the right Profile and/or possibly a Treble Booster in the X slot may help. I love using the TB, always below 5 on the tone. I play with the mix more than anything else to add brightness. It's like a one-knob EQ. (I personally despise using an EQ other than what's in the amp section).
EDIT: I totally forgot the link !!!!
I love people who use capos to make simpler chord progressions.

I think on the original recording they tuned the guitars 2 steps up and play it open. They probably still play open but on standard tuning as we all know the high notes are harder to sing the older you get lol

Correct and yeah I think your probably right but I like to get as close to the original as I can, otherwise I'd just grab a Marshall Tube amp and sell the Kemper lol. I have the Kemper Stage Floor so may as well use it to it's full potential.

What a great song! No big surprise here... look at this... it's from a 2014/2015 DVD, Live in Toronto. Screenshot taken while they played Run To You. Both, Bryan and Keith, use a capo here

I'd say they definitely tuned the guitars up a full step. Live video from '93. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the did that specifically for the look (and sound) of open-strings.

My TC. G.-Force had a preset just like that sound. dont remember. overprocessed but cool
I saw him live years ago and he definitely used a capo.
If you're going to use a HB guitar I'd put an EQ stomp before the amp section.
I was once at a gig and forgot to bring a capo. Had to try and play it using my index finger as a capo.
It didn't go well.

Had that once and I used a Cable binder for the song. Worked quite well
I run my Julianna pedal into a cleanish JTM for pretty much the exact sound from the record.
My settings are
Rate: 11:00
Depth: Noon
Lag: 11:00
Div: up (quarter)
shape: up (sine)
DCW: noon (chorus)
Hitting the tap tempo to the rhythm of the song.
I don't have any specific settings for you, but the clean chorus sound is exactly that. Should not be too hard to dial up as you mentioned you are close. I hear some delay on that sound as well.
The 'solo' break is a two guitar harmony part that you could easily dial on the Kemper. The tone is pretty hot(switch to higher gain profile or medium distortion) with a longer delay. The delay is key and helps smooth out the sound and also helps to get the transition of the held notes into feedback. Of course, you also need enough volume and gain to get to the feedback point.
If it were me, I'd start with a couple Vox profiles or possibly a Plexi type for the hotter section.
Given when the song was released, we all had a touch of chorus on our "big lead" tone, which I'm assuming he did as well.
I don’t want to be that guy and it’s a great sound but just to get pedantic the line is wrong in that demo. That fella from the forum, Diogo, had some pretty nice Maz profiles on the rig exchange that might get close.
Here's my take, MBritt Fried from the Crank'n'go pack, some CE1 vintage chorus and Dual Delay tape. it's a coil split Suhr Humbucker and would have more bite with a Strat I think.
