Why these settings

The iconic intro clean part is voiced on the Frontman 20G's clean channel with gain low to avoid harsh solid-state clipping. The Frontman 20G features a 3-band EQ (no presence, no onboard reverb), so we drop the mid to 3 and boost treble to 7 to replicate Dimebag's signature scooped EQ curve and clear top end. Dime's crushing chorus riffs use a high-gain solid-state grind that would require an external high-gain distortion or parametric EQ pedal on this clean practice platform.

PRO TIPPick the arpeggios strictly with downstrokes near the bridge for sharp transient articulation while using the neck humbucker to keep the individual notes rounded and full.
