floods amp settings — nux mighty 40
The pantera guitar tone for “floods”, dialed in for a nux mighty 40 with a Ibanez GIO GRG170DX. Studio version, The Great Southern Trendkill (1996) — iconic guitar solo
Washburn Dime Stealth / Dean ML (Bill Lawrence L-500XL bridge pickup) + Randall RG100HT / Century 200 II + Furman PQ-3 parametric EQ + MXR 6-band EQ + DigiTech Whammy + MXR Flanger / Delay + Lexicon reverb
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 8 |
| Bass | 6 |
| Mid | 3 |
| Treble | 8 |
| Reverb | 5 |
| Master | 5 |
01Built-in Delay (Digital / Analog block)
Engage the onboard delay effect on the Mighty 40 to match the solo's spacious decay
02DigiTech Whammy DT / WH-1
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; needed for the climax multi-octave squeals
Dimebag's tone relied on a solid-state Randall pushed by a pre-amp Furman PQ-3 boost and severe graphic EQ mid-scoop around 800Hz. On the NUX Mighty 40, select the Lead/Metal voice, cut mids to 3 while pushing treble to 8 to mimic that razor-sharp solid-state attack, and engage the onboard digital delay and hall reverb blocks for the wide, ambient solo space. Your Ibanez Infinity R bridge humbucker has plenty of output, so keeping gain around 8 provides smooth sustain without turning into uncontrollable mud.
