Why these settings

The Spider II gain runs hot and bright, so Crunch Red provides the classic Marshall JCM/Valvestate crunch without getting muddy or fizzy like the Insane model. Your Telecaster bridge single-coil is naturally brighter and leaner than Noel's vintage humbucker, so treble is softened, bass boosted, and the guitar tone rolled back slightly to add girth. The Spider II faceplate has no presence control, so presence is null.

PRO TIPDig in with hard, aggressive downstrokes right near the bridge saddles to capture the jagged, raw punk attack of Noel's playing on this track.
