10's amp settings — Fender Twin Reverb
The Pantera guitar tone for “10's”, dialed in for a Fender Twin Reverb with a Squier Affinity Stratocaster. Studio version, The Great Southern Trendkill (1996) — matching the iconic heavy rhythm riff and solo tone
Randall RG-100ES solid-state head, Washburn Dime 333 (Bill Lawrence L-500XL bridge humbucker), Furman PQ-3 parametric EQ, MXR 126 Flanger/Doubler, Rocktron Hush noise gate

01Jim Dunlop Cry Baby 535Q Wah
Leave bypassed for the main riff; engage for the expressive solo passages
02MXR Fullbore Metal
Primary gain source; engage the onboard Gate switch and leave the Scoop button off to precisely shape the mid frequency via the Freq/Mid knobs
The ultra-clean, high-headroom Fender Twin Reverb acts as a neutral canvas with gain set low to prevent harsh double-gain clipping. Dimebag's signature RG-100ES solid-state distortion and PQ-3 parametric scoop are generated entirely by the MXR Fullbore Metal with aggressive mid-cutting at 800Hz-1kHz. To compensate for the Stratocaster single coil's thinness compared to a Bill Lawrence L-500XL humbucker, the guitar tone knob is rolled back slightly to 8 while boosting the pedal's low-end and gain. Clean intro: bypass the MXR Fullbore Metal and switch to the neck+middle pickup.
