Why these settings

The Metal 2000 model delivers the tight, saturated high gain needed to mimic Dimebag's pushed Randall RG100ES. To compensate for the Squier Stratocaster's lower-output single coil pickup compared to Dime's hot L-500XL humbucker, gain is pushed to 9 and bass is raised to 7 to fill out the low end. Clean intro: switch to the '65 Twin model with slight onboard chorus.

PRO TIPPick aggressively near the bridge saddles with a stiff heavy pick at a slight angle to capture Dimebag's razor-sharp pick attack and percussive palm muting.
