Gloryhole amp settings — Line 6 Spider II
The Steel panther guitar tone for “Gloryhole”, dialed in for a Line 6 Spider II with a Ibanez Geo 7 string. Studio version, All You Can Eat (2014)
Kramer guitars (humbucker bridge), Marshall-style high-gain amp (likely JCM800/900 derivative or modded Plexi), AllPedal 1987 delay/distortion, tight '80s glam metal voicing
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |

| Presence | 0 |
| Reverb | 1 |

01Zoom G1XFour — Distortion Block (use 'MS 1959' or 'BG MK1' amp model if available, otherwise 'HG THRTTL' or similar high-gain)
Use this as your primary tone-shaping — set Spider II to a cleaner channel if stacking, or bypass Zoom drive and use Spider's Insane channel alone
02Zoom G1XFour — Noise Gate
Essential for tight '80s palm mutes — kills flub between riffs
03Zoom G1XFour — Delay Block (digital delay)
Short slapback for '80s width — subtle, not obvious
Your 7-string Ibanez has hotter output than Satchel's Kramers, so gain is dropped from what a vintage humbucker would need. The Spider II's 'Insane' channel is scooped and fizzy by nature — mid at 4 and treble at 7 counteracts some of that to get closer to the tight Marshall bark. Rolling tone knob to 8 tames the extended-range guitar's extra brightness.
