Why these settings

Line 6 Spider gain stages saturate very quickly, so keep the gain at 6 on the Metal voice to prevent the fast 16th-note riffs from turning to mush. Alexi's tone cuts through with pronounced upper-mids, so keep the mids pushed at 7 while tightening the bass. Use the Spider's onboard chorus dialed low to replicate the signature widened stereo texture without sounding like an obvious modulation effect.

PRO TIPAlexi relied heavily on sharp, aggressive palm muting right against the bridge saddles with a stiff pick (like a Dunlop Jazz III) to get the percussive attack essential for this riffing style.
