01Onboard Smart FX (Chorus/Flanger)
Line 6 Spider III onboard FX knob set to slow, shallow chorus (first segment of the knob)
02Onboard Delay/Echo
Line 6 Spider III onboard Delay knob turned low for subtle slapback, tap tempo set short
The Clean channel on the Spider III emulates a pristine solid-state clean, so gain is kept low to avoid unwanted digital clipping while letting the amp stay open. Treble is dialed back to 4 and your Strat's tone knob is rolled down to 7 to replicate Rostam's warm, tape-saturated high-end roll-off without getting brittle. The onboard Smart FX provides the essential subtle modulation and slapback echo entirely within the Spider III without requiring external pedals.
