Why these settings

Because the Boss MT-2 serves as the primary gain source to capture Dimebag's solid-state clipping and parametric EQ curve, the Orange Crush 35RT is run on the Clean channel with amp gain kept low. The Orange's naturally warm mid-bias is tightened by scooping the pedal's mid frequency while elevating bass and treble for that percussive 'Far Beyond Driven' attack. Note that the Crush 35RT has no physical presence knob, so presence is omitted.

PRO TIPDimebag used very aggressive, heavy-handed pick attack right over the bridge pickup with a heavy gauge pick; dig in hard on the low strings to make the solid-state attack pop cleanly.
