Why these settings

The original track relies on Pete Loeffler's cranked Mesa Dual Rectifier tuned to Drop B with high-gain saturation. On the Spider V 20 MkII, select the Mesa Dual Rectifier amp model ('Treadplate') with the gain at 7 to capture the aggressive bite without turning to digital mush. Keep mids slightly scooped at 4 and bass at 7 to emulate the deep cabinet resonance without overloading the 8-inch practice speaker. Presence is null as the Spider V 20 MkII lacks a physical presence knob.

PRO TIPTune your guitar to Drop B (B-F#-B-E-G#-C#) with heavy gauge strings and strike with heavy, deliberate downstrokes near the bridge to get that signature tight low-end percussive chug.
