Why these settings

The MG30FX OD2 channel provides modern high gain, but lacks the extreme surgical scoop of Dimebag's rack Furman and Randall setup. Setting amp mids to 2 while aggressively cutting 800Hz and boosting highs on your MXR 6-Band EQ recreates his signature razor-sharp attack without turning flubby. The MG30FX faceplate lacks a presence knob, so treble is pushed to 8 on the amp alongside the pedal's 3.2kHz boost.

PRO TIPDime tuned down a quarter-step below D standard (~425 Hz) on Far Beyond Driven; use stiff pick attack right next to the bridge to get that signature percussive clack.
