01Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive
Use as a boost into the Insane channel - tightens low-end and adds pick attack definition. Low drive setting acts as a clean boost, not a second gain stage.
The Spider IV 15's Insane channel is your only path to this saturated deathcore tone - it approximates the Rectifier's scooped modern voicing. Mid at 4 keeps it aggressive without disappearing; the SD-1 in front with drive at 2 acts as a traditional tight-boost (like a Tube Screamer into a Rectifier) to firm up the flubby low-end the small speaker produces. Your Kramer's HSS bridge humbucker has lower output than Carnifex's active EMGs, so gain stays at 8 rather than backing off.
