Why these settings

The Line 6 Spider's Insane channel approximates the JCM2000's driven midrange. Your RG550's high-output humbuckers match the Telecaster Deluxe output closely, so gain stays at the original 4-5 range. Spider amps run gain-hot, so 4 here equals a Marshall at 5. Mid pushed to 8 for that signature Paramore cut-through; treble at 6 avoids brittleness on the RG's bright bridge pickup.

PRO TIPRoll your tone knob to 8 to tame the RG's ceramic magnet brightness on the verse arpeggios, then open it full for the chorus power chords to let the attack cut through.
