Why these settings

The Mustang GT100's Metal 2000 model approximates high-gain solid-state aggression similar to Dimebag's Randall. Your Warlock's humbuckers have hot output close to Dimebag's Dean, so no gain compensation needed. The key is the mid-scoop via the built-in graphic EQ — Dimebag's signature sound came from external EQ units cutting 400-800Hz drastically. Fender modeling amps are naturally mid-scooped already, so the amp EQ mid at 3 plus the graphic EQ cut gets you there.

PRO TIPTune to Drop D. Dimebag's pick attack was critical — use a heavy pick (1.0mm+), angle it slightly, and strike the strings with authority right above the bridge pickup. His palm mutes sat directly on the saddles for maximum tightness.
