The Pantera guitar tone for “Cemetary Gates”, dialed in for a Marshall Mini Jubilee with a Harley Benton SC-Custom II. Studio version, Cowboys from Hell (1990) — clean intro/verse riff section

Original rig

Dean ML (Seymour Duncan '59 neck pickup) → Furman PQ-3 Parametric EQ → MXR 6-Band EQ → Randall RG100ES (clean channel, solid-state)

Crystalline, chimey solid-state clean with slight mid scoop and subtle spring reverb — pristine and touch-sensitive

01MXR 10-Band EQ (or similar graphic EQ)

RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. Dimebag's clean tone relied heavily on EQ shaping (Furman PQ-3 + MXR 6-band). A graphic EQ pedal is essential to nail the scooped-low-mid, boosted-upper-mid character. Run before amp input.

Why these settings

The original Randall RG100ES is a solid-state amp with a very clean, stiff, hi-fi response — no tube compression or breakup. Your Mini Jubilee is an 800-style tube amp that wants to break up and compress. To approximate the Randall's pristine response: keep gain extremely low (2), push treble higher than you'd expect (7) to get that crystalline attack, and scoop mids slightly (4) to offset the Jubilee's natural mid-forward voice. The EQ pedal is critical — without it you'll get 60% of the tone at best.

PRO TIPPick near the neck pickup with the fleshy part of your thumb brushing the strings immediately after the pick attack — Dimebag's clean tone has that pillowy, almost palm-muted-but-not-quite quality that comes from right-hand technique, not gear.
