Why these settings

The Fender Frontman 20g is voiced brighter and more scooped than the Randall RG100ES, so mids are pushed to 2 (vs original's 4) to compensate for the Fender's natural mid-scoop. Gain is maxed at 9 because the Frontman's solid-state distortion is lower-output than the Randall's lead channel. Bass at 8 and treble at 9 replicate the aggressive V-curve Dime achieved with the MXR graphic EQ—the Frontman has no FX loop, so we're mimicking that voicing via the faceplate controls.

PRO TIPDig in HARD with the pick on the downstrokes—Dime's tone is 50% gear, 50% right-hand attack aggression. The solid-state distortion compresses less than tubes, so every pick stroke must be deliberate and violent to nail the percussive chunk of 'Domination.'
