Each of the four tones is based on a completley different amp, that is the difference. You cannot make them sound the same. We don't have the settings for the factory presets, but a reset would get them back for you.

From our reset FAQ at http://line6.com/support/docs/DOC-4499: Spider I, II, III, IV, Micro, and Valve Series: Hold down the A (or clean) button as you turn on the power and hold the button for 5-8 seconds.

The amp models use different processing, so you will NOT get the Insane sound starting with the Clean setting, etc.

The models base their sounds on what the Line 6 people have analyzed for the basic sound characteristics of the amps in question.

I am completely new to electric guitars so bare withe me. I have the spider IV 15. It comes with the 4 preset models. I have been playing with each to find some sounds that i like. My question is what is the difference between the models? is there a difference, or, with the right setting on the tone controls and the FX controls can i make, for instance, insane sound the same as clean? Also i see all the different tone and FX setting at custom tones but what are the setting for the factory programmed models?
