Almost easy amp settings — Line 6 Spider 30

The Avenged sevenfold guitar tone for “Almost easy”, dialed in for a Line 6 Spider 30 with a Schecter Damien Platinum 6. Studio version, Avenged Sevenfold self-titled (2007) — Main heavy rhythm riff

The Spider's 'Insane' amp model provides the cascaded high-gain saturation of the Bogner/Mesa blend, but because Spider preamps run extremely hot, keeping the gain at 6 prevents mud. The Schecter's active EMG pickups deliver high output and natural low-end push, so mids are held at 5 to maintain articulation without flubbing the tight Drop D riffing. The Spider 30 lacks a physical presence control, so the treble is pushed slightly to capture the razor-sharp pick attack. Clean bridge/chorus transition: switch channel to Clean with slight onboard delay.
