Why these settings

Line 6 Spider gain stages run extremely hot and can become fizzy fast, so gain is kept at 6 to replicate the saturated yet defined Peavey 6505/Diezel tracking on One-X. The Ibanez Gio ceramic humbuckers have a prominent high-mid bite, so rolling the tone knob slightly to 8 prevents harsh upper frequencies while keeping low-end punch tight. Presence is omitted as standard Spider entry models lack a dedicated presence knob.

PRO TIPTune down to Drop C (C-G-C-F-A-D) and use aggressive, heavy downpicking right near the bridge with a thick pick (1.0mm+) to get the signature percussive chug.
