Why these settings

Original uses JC-120's naturally warm, scooped clean with built-in chorus. Katana Clean type is more Fender-voiced (brighter, less mid-warmth), so bass +0.5 and treble -1 vs original JC settings to compensate. Your Tele single-coil neck is brighter and lower output than Dimebag's humbucker — rolling tone to 7 warms it and adds body closer to the humbucker's fundamental.

PRO TIPPick near the neck pickup with your fingers (not a pick) and let notes ring into each other — Dimebag's clean intro relies on overlapping harmonics that a staccato pick attack kills.
