Why these settings

The Boss MT-2 serves as the primary gain and EQ shaping engine to mimic Dimebag's solid-state Randall and Furman/MXR EQ stack. The Orange Crush 35RT is parked clean with low gain (2) to prevent muddy double-distortion while running a high-gain pedal into the front. The Orange Crush 35RT faceplate features Gain, Clean, Dirty, Bass, Middle, Treble, and Reverb, but has no presence knob, so presence is nulled. To compensate for thin single-coil Strat pickups, Low and Dist are pushed higher on the MT-2 while Mid Freq centers around 1kHz with Middle scooped down to 3.

PRO TIPDimebag tuned a quarter-step flat between D and D# (roughly 425-430 Hz reference rather than standard 440 Hz). For maximum percussive chunk on the main riff, pick aggressively close to the bridge saddles and use heavy palm muting with a rigid, sharp pick.
