Why these settings

The Blackstar ID:Core 20 V3 lacks traditional Bass/Middle/Treble/Presence controls and instead uses a single ISF knob; set ISF to 3 (counter-clockwise towards the American scoop) to recreate Dimebag's classic mid-cut Randall solid-state bite. The Seymour Duncan Hyperion bridge humbucker on the Ibanez AZ2402 has high clarity, so running Voice on OD2 with Gain at 8 captures the aggressive, uncompressed solid-state clipping of the RG100 without getting muddy. Keep internal reverb and modulation completely bypassed for the dry, laser-tight stops of the rhythm track.

PRO TIPDimebag tuned a quarter-step flat from D Standard (~425-430 Hz instead of 440 Hz standard concert pitch); tune down slightly to match the record, and dig hard into the low palm mutes while locking your pick stops dead.
