Why these settings

The Spider II Clean channel provides the neutral headroom needed for Ed's synth-like drone. Gain is kept low to prevent unwanted clipping, with treble shaved slightly to tame the Boden's modern clarity into warm analog territory. Line 6 Spider II 30 lacks a physical presence knob, so presence is nulled. Turn the onboard Spider II smart FX knob to Delay/Tape Echo to provide the required ambient wash.

PRO TIPUse an EBow or perform pinky volume-pot swells at pick attack to mask string transients and create a seamless, keyboard-like sustained drone.
