Used as a clean boost to tighten up the low-end flub on the high-gain amp model
The Line 6 Spider IV 75 uses the Metal Red model for the iconic Peavey 5150 tone. Because the Spider's digital gain runs hot and compressed, the amp gain is capped at 6 and boosted with the Boss SD-1 (Drive zeroed, Level maxed) to achieve the tight attack of active EMG pickups on your Kramer's passive bridge humbucker. Note that the Spider IV 75 faceplate does not feature a dedicated presence knob.
