01Parametric EQ Block (Onboard FX)
Engage the onboard Spider V graphic/parametric EQ block in the pre-amp slot to mimic Dime's Furman PQ-4 mid scoop
02Noise Gate Block (Onboard FX)
Essential for clamping high-gain hiss and achieving Dime's razor-sharp staccato riffing
The Spider V's Insane voice provides the tight, saturated solid-state clipping structure of Dimebag's Randall Century 200. Mids are cut drastically to 2 with treble boosted to 9 to match the signature Furman PQ-4 pre-distortion smile-curve EQ. Your Jackson's high-output bridge humbucker pushes the amp's front end accurately, so gain is kept at 7 to prevent low-end flub on palm-muted chugs.
