Why these settings

The Vox Cambridge 50 faceplate features Gain, Treble, Bass, and Volume without discrete Middle, Presence, or dedicated Reverb knobs (all set to null). Using the SL-OD high-gain model compensates for Dimebag's solid-state Randall bite, while maxing treble and keeping bass moderate naturally creates his signature mid-scooped harmonic attack. The onboard Chorus and Tape Delay approximate his studio rack processing.

PRO TIPDimebag's screaming climax harmonics require aggressive pick squeals combined with an upward whammy bar flutter or DigiTech Whammy pitch bends on the G and B strings.
