Why these settings

Because the Mooer GE150 serves as your primary preamp and gain engine, the Line 6 Spider III is set to its cleanest channel with gain cut to 2 to prevent muddy double-gain stacking. The 5150 amp block on the GE150 provides the scooped modern aggression of the original Peavey/Diezel mix, while the onboard boost tightens the low-end flub common to Drop C tuning on passive humbuckers. Keep Spider EQ neutral at noon to let the processor shape the core frequency response.

PRO TIPTune down to Drop C (C-G-C-F-A-D) using heavy bottom strings (at least 11-52 gauge), and strike downstrokes aggressively right next to the bridge to emulate the percussive attack of the main riff.
