01Overdrive Block (Pure Boost / Tube Drive)
Clean boost in front of the amp block to tighten low end and simulate the Furman PQ-3 input drive
02Graphic EQ Block
Post-amp block: cut 800Hz slightly, boost 1.6kHz and high shelf to reproduce Dimebag's classic 'smile' curve
03Digital Delay Block
Short stereo-spread delay (~350ms) to emulate the doubled solo tracking on the record
Dimebag's signature attack relies on aggressive solid-state clipping and heavy pre/post parametric equalization. On the GE150, the mid scoop is dialed to 3 on the amp block with an added post-EQ upper-mid boost to retain note articulation without losing bite. The Quantun humbuckers on the RGA42FM deliver high output, so the boost block drive stays at 1 while boosting output level to emulate the hot Bill Lawrence L-500XL. Clean intro: bypass the boost, delay, and EQ blocks, switch the amp block to a clean model with a chorus block engaged.
