Why these settings

The Pacifica 112V bridge humbucker has lower output than Dimebag's Bill Lawrence L-500XL, so the Screamer block acts as a front-end clean boost to drive the preamp. On the NUX MG-101, cutting mids to 3 and using the EQ block to scoop 800Hz captures Dimebag's signature solid-state Randall bite. Treble and presence are pushed high to emulate the searing cut of the Furman PQ-3. Clean intro/outro arpeggio: switch to middle+neck single-coils with the Screamer block bypassed and a light chorus engaged.

PRO TIPDig in with a heavy pick right against the bridge and use aggressive, wide finger vibrato on sustained notes to simulate Dimebag's searing feedback without needing extreme power-amp volume.
