Why these settings

The Boss GT-1 METAL STACK block delivers the fast, surgical solid-state saturation of Dimebag's Randall rig. We pull the mid control down hard to 2 and carve out 800Hz in the GT-1's internal EQ to mimic his stacked Furman PQ-3 and MXR units. Your Jackson JS22 stock ceramic bridge pickup provides the hot output and tight high-end needed to match the Bill Lawrence L500XL attack. For the clean ballad intro: switch to the GT-1 CLEAN TWIN block with subtle chorus and delay.

PRO TIPDig in hard using heavy, rigid plectrums right over the bridge pickup and keep your palm muting tight and locked to get that signature razor-sharp, percussive chug.
