Why these settings

Spider V's Insane channel approximates plexi saturation. Original Marshall is mid-forward around 2-3kHz; Spider V is slightly more scooped, so mid pushed to 8 (vs original 6-7) to restore that bark. Bass raised 1 point because Tele bridge single-coil lacks the thick low-mids of the SG's humbuckers. Treble held at 6 to avoid ice-pick — Tele bridge is already brighter than an SG.

PRO TIPDig in HARD with the pick — this tone lives on pick attack dynamics and volume-knob cleanup, not pedal saturation. Roll your guitar volume back to 7-8 for verses if you need less crunch; the amp stays where it is.
