01Behringer SF300 Super Fuzz
Mode switch set to Fuzz 2 (scooped midrange mode). Serves as primary high-gain source into the clean amp channel.
The Yamaha GA15 practice amp cannot replicate Dimebag's cascaded solid-state Randall distortion on its own overdrive switch, so your Behringer SF300 acts as the primary gain engine on Mode 2 (Fuzz 2). To prevent muddy double-gain stacking, keep the GA15 on its Clean channel with gain dialed down to 2 while cutting mids on the amp and boosting treble to mimic Dimebag's razor-sharp parametric EQ scoop. Note that the GA15 faceplate has no presence or onboard reverb controls, so both are bypassed here. Clean intro switch: bypass the SF300 and select the neck single coil.
