HI, i just bought a spider IV 150w by LINE 6
but I want to have a sound close to Megadeth, especially to holy wars
but i dont know how to set up, can you help me?
 
Usually trash sound is made by maxing high and gain, set mids to 0 and fine tune the bass knob based on the sound of your guitar...

Dave mustain sound is a bit different thing... a more rich sound using a bit of mids so...

gain=70-85%
bass=40-50%
mids= about 40-60%
highs=80-100%

I dont know well SpiderIV since i have pod2.0 and a toneport but...

i think that the high gain red will fit the job, add a bit of distortion (maybe everything at 50% and tone 50-60% max).

Add a bit of delay to enrich the tone.

Some song has a bit of chorus too... factory setting is a nice starting point.

When it comes to marty leads add another bit of mids and try to low the gain or off the distortion.

I know i'm a bit general but you have to tweak based on your guitar. Bridge humbacker off curse... i will not try it with a fender strat clone!
