Why these settings

The Line 6 Spider III 15 Metal model provides the aggressive Mesa-style scooped saturation of the original recording without needing external dirt. Gain is dialed back to 6 because Spider digital preamps saturate heavily and get fizzy quickly. The 8-inch speaker lacks a 4x12 cab's resonance, so bass is set to 7 with mids pulled to 3 to recreate the percussive nu-metal chug.

PRO TIPTune down to C# Standard (C#-F#-B-E-G#-C#) and strike the strings hard near the bridge with heavy palm muting to lock into Borland's percussive attack.
