Why these settings

The Randall RG100ES clean is relatively flat and hi-fi. The Spider's Clean channel has more mid-scoop and digital brightness, so I raised mid +1 and dropped treble -1 vs the original to keep the warm, round character. Your Ibanez INF pickups are hotter and brighter than Dimebag's '59 neck humbucker, so rolling tone to 8 tames the ice-pick frequencies. Gain at 3 adds just enough body without breaking up.

PRO TIPUse your pick's edge angle — tilt the pick slightly so the attack is softer and rounder, mimicking Dimebag's fluid clean picking on the arpeggios. Let notes ring into each other for that signature sustained shimmer.
