RECOMMENDED — Dimebag's signature mid-scoop came from stacked EQs; a Boss GE-7 or MXR 10-band gets you 80% there

Why these settings

Your Strat's single-coil bridge is thinner and brighter than Dimebag's humbuckers, so I pushed bass +1 and dropped treble -1 from his original scooped settings. The Catalyst's high-gain channel approximates solid-state aggression better than tube voicings. Mid at 3 recreates his signature scoop without the external EQ pedal, but a dedicated EQ pedal in the loop would nail it tighter.

PRO TIPDimebag picked extremely hard directly over the bridge pickup with his hand anchored on the bridge — this attack angle is critical for his percussive chug. Practice downpicking with the pick angled slightly so the edge scrapes the string for that aggressive 'chirp' on palm-muted notes.
