Helmet in the bush amp settings — Line 6 Spider V 30
The Korn guitar tone for “Helmet in the bush”, dialed in for a Line 6 Spider V 30 with a Ibanez GIO GRG170DX. Studio cut, Korn (1994) — signature heavy industrial drop-groove riff
Ibanez Universe UV7 7-string (bridge Blaze II humbucker) -> modified EHX Big Muff / ProCo Rat into Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier (Red channel) -> Marshall 4x12 cab

| Reverb | 1 |
| Master | 5 |
The Line 6 Spider V 30 lacks a physical presence knob, so Treadplate gain runs moderately hot around 7 to replicate Munky and Head's dual-tracked Mesa Triple Rectifiers without falling into fizz. The GRG170DX bridge humbucker matches their bridge-only output, but since it is a 6-string standard scale, tune down to drop D or A-standard equivalent to match the low-frequency resonance. Mids are scooped slightly to 4 to evoke the classic 1994 Ross Robinson mix while keeping bass at 8 tight through the 8-inch speaker. Clean verse/intro: roll the guitar volume down to 6 or switch to an onboard clean preset.
