Why these settings

The Blackstar ID:Core 10 V4 uses a shared ISF EQ knob instead of standard Bass/Mid/Treble controls, so set ISF to 0 (fully American) and Voice to OD2. Use the Boss GE-7 to replicate Dimebag's outboard Furman PQ-3 parametric boost, carving out 800Hz while pushing 1.6kHz–3.2kHz for the signature razor attack. Keep the built-in delay and reverb completely dry on the ID:Core.

PRO TIPDimebag's pick attack is ferocious and rigid—use an ultra-heavy, pointed pick (like a Dunlop Tortex 1.14mm or Jazz III) and dig in hard with the edge of the pick right next to the bridge saddles for maximum percussive bite.
