Used strictly as a clean boost/tightener in front of the amp model
The 2005 Sneap production relies on a Peavey 5150 II pushed by an OD808 with the gain zeroed to tighten the flub. On the Spider V MkII, select the PV Panama model, pull the amp gain back to 6 to prevent the Line 6 high-gain fizz from washing out fast riffing, and engage the internal Screamer boost with Drive at 0. Your Schecter humbuckers will provide plenty of punch, so keep bass around 5 to avoid muddying fast alternate picking in Drop D.
