01Behringer OD300 Overdrive/Distortion
Used as a clean boost to tighten low end and add razor-sharp bite in front of the high-gain channel
The MG30FX lacks a physical presence control, so treble is boosted to 8 to mimic Dimebag's searing solid-state Randall bite. Active EMG pickups have high output, so the OD300 is dialed as a tight boost (Drive low, Mode toward overdrive) rather than a gain source, letting the amp's OD-2 channel provide the core saturation. Mids are scooped to 3 on the amp to capture the classic Furman/MXR EQ curve without getting lost in the mix.
