01Boss DS-1 Distortion
Gain source — run into the front input of the clean amp to deliver solid-state clipping and high-frequency bite
The Boss DS-1 acts as the primary gain source to mimic Dimebag's razor-sharp solid-state distortion into the clean channel of the Ibanez amp, avoiding muddy preamp saturation. The amp EQ is heavily scooped with mids pulled back to 2 and treble pushed to 8 to replicate the Furman and MXR parametric cut around 800Hz-1kHz. The Jackson bridge humbucker supplies the high-output attack needed for the breakdown's palm-muted chugs.
