Dogs Blood amp settings — Line 6 Spider III 15
The Alexisonfire guitar tone for “Dogs Blood”, dialed in for a Line 6 Spider III 15 with a Squier Mustang. Studio version, Dog's Blood EP (2010)
Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier and Marshall JCM800 (Wade MacNeil lead), Gibson Les Paul and SG with humbuckers, various overdrives for boost. Dallas Green used Fender amps for cleaner rhythm parts.
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |

| Bass | 7 |
| Mid | 4 |
| Treble | 6 |

| Master | 5 |
The Spider III 15 lacks a presence knob. Insane channel approximates the Rectifier's saturated, scooped character. Gain kept at 7 rather than maxed because the Insane channel runs hot and gets fizzy above 8. Mid at 4 provides the characteristic Recto scoop while keeping enough definition for palm mutes. Your Mustang's single coils are brighter and lower output than their Les Pauls—bass raised to 7 compensates for thinner low end, treble held at 6 to avoid ice-pick highs.
