01Friedman BE-OD
Gain source into the front input; BE-OD supplies the high-gain British/Mesa-style saturation
The Friedman BE-OD serves as the dedicated high-gain engine, so the Spider III is routed to Clean with gain dropped to 2 to prevent muddy digital clipping. Your SG Standard 61's Burstbucker 61 pickups have slightly brighter upper mids than the Les Pauls used on the record, so keep the amp treble at 6 and use the pedal's Tight knob at 8 to nail the tight palm-muted riffing.
