Why these settings

The Line 6 Spider Classic 15 'Insane' channel is the closest voicing to the Uberschall's saturated, scooped character. Gain at 7 (not maxed) keeps palm-mutes tight — the small speaker muddies above 8. Mid scooped to 3 mimics the Uberschall's natural scoop; treble at 7 maintains the pick attack clarity. Your Pacifica's Alnico V bridge humbucker has less output than Gates' Les Paul, so gain stays slightly higher than if you had a hotter pickup. Reverb must be zero — the original is bone-dry.

PRO TIPAnchor your palm firmly near the bridge saddles and pick with a steep downward attack angle to nail the percussive 'chunk' on the galloping sixteenth notes — the tone only punches correctly when the muting is tight and consistent.
