cemetery gates amp settings — mooer 15 watt combo

The pantera guitar tone for “cemetery gates”, dialed in for a mooer 15 watt combo with a Epiphone Slash Les Paul Standard. Studio version, Cowboys from Hell (1990) — clean intro/verse arpeggio section

Original rig

Dean ML with Seymour Duncan SH-1 '59 neck pickup → Randall RG100ES solid-state head (gain at 0, clean channel) — some sources cite Roland JC-120 for stereo chorus cleans, but primary evidence points to the Randall on the studio cut

Pristine, glassy clean with subtle warmth — wide and shimmering, no breakup, slight chorus shimmer on the recording

Why these settings

The Mooer GE15 is a digital modeling combo — set it to a clean amp model (Fender-style or JC-120 if available). Dimebag ran gain at 0 for the clean intro; your Les Paul humbuckers are hotter than his neck SH-1, so keep gain at absolute zero and roll tone knob to 8 to tame the extra brightness. Mid slightly lower than the original's 5.5 because humbuckers already push mids.

PRO TIPUse the neck pickup and let your pick attack vary the dynamics — Dimebag picked softly on the arpeggios for that glassy bloom, then dug in on the accented notes. If your Mooer has a built-in chorus effect, add a slow rate (2-3) and shallow depth (2) to nail the stereo shimmer of the recording.
