Why these settings

The Vault Frenzy 20 is a compact solid-state practice amp with standard Gain, Bass, Mid, and Treble controls (no presence or built-in reverb). Dimebag's core sound relied on solid-state clipping with aggressively scooped midrange via external parametric EQs, so cutting the Frenzy's Mid control to 2 and pushing Treble and Gain high gets closest to that trademark razor-sharp bite. Since the Frenzy lacks onboard delay and modulation, a dedicated delay pedal is strongly recommended to capture the wide atmospheric space of the solo.

PRO TIPUse an aggressive, heavy picking attack close to the bridge with a stiff pick; for the soaring climax, apply a wide finger vibrato and dig into pinch harmonics on the G and B strings.
