Why these settings

The Spider V series runs naturally hot and bright, so gain is dialed back to 6 to prevent fizzy over-saturation. Because you are playing a single-coil Strat rather than Slash's thick Alnico II humbuckers, midrange is pushed hard to 8, bass is raised to 6 to fill out the low-end body, and treble is pulled back to 5. Line 6 Spider V 20 MkII has no dedicated physical presence knob, so presence is null.

PRO TIPRoll your Strat bridge pickup tone knob down slightly to 8 to shave off sharp single-coil spike, and dig hard into the strings near the bridge with a thick pick (1.5mm+) to replicate Slash's punchy pick attack.
