01GT-1 OD/DS (T-SCREAM / OD-1 Boost)
Tightens low end into the preamp model, simulating Dime's Furman PQ-3 preamp boost
02GT-1 FX1/EQ (Parametric / Graphic EQ)
Recreates the post-gain MXR 6-Band smile-curve scoop and upper-mid bite
03GT-1 Noise Suppressor (NS)
Essential to clamp high-gain hiss between sustained lead phrases
04GT-1 Delay (STANDARD)
Set delay time to ~420ms (quarter note feel) for the soaring solo sustain
The Jackson JS22 stock ceramic bridge pickup provides high output close to Dime's Bill Lawrence L-500XL. We use the GT-1's high-gain preamp paired with an internal OD boost and EQ block to recreate Dimebag's unique two-stage equalization (preamp mid push, post-preamp deep mid cut). The delay and plate reverb blocks replicate the expansive studio ambience heard on the outro solo.
