Use sparingly for grit on heavier sections only - Rex's tone is more SVT grind than fuzz. Engage for aggressive riffs, bypass for verses. Keep Dist LOW to preserve low-end definition.

Tone 4 · Level 7 · Dist 3

Why these settings

Rex's Spector EMGs into a driven SVT produce aggressive mids that cut through Dimebag's scooped guitar wall. Your TRBX304 passive pickups have less output than EMGs, so mid is pushed to 7 to compensate for the Rumble's naturally scooped solid-state voicing. Bass at 6 keeps it tight without flub - the Rumble's 12-inch speaker can't handle the 8x10 thump Rex had, so we avoid mud. The DS-1 at low Dist adds edge when needed but won't replace true SVT breakup.

PRO TIPDig in hard with a pick near the bridge for Rex's attack - he played aggressively with a pick throughout Far Beyond Driven, and that percussive snap is half the tone. Roll your tone knob down to 8 to tame the DS-1's fizzy top end when engaged.
