RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; place in front to achieve Dimebag's extreme 800Hz-1kHz mid-scoop
The Champion 20 lacks a dedicated mid knob, so Dimebag's iconic Furman PQ-3 mid-scoop is simulated by pushing bass and treble high on the onboard Metal voice. The high-output Quantum humbuckers on your Ibanez provide the hot output and bite needed to match the razor-sharp attack of Dime's Bill Lawrence L500XL. Keep the amp completely dry with FX Level at zero since the main rhythm track is bone-dry.
