RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; essential for Dimebag's signature parametric 'smiley-face' scoop
The Frontman 10G has only gain, bass, and treble controls on its faceplate, so mid, presence, and reverb must be left null. Dimebag got his razor-sharp solid-state tone by violently scooping ~800Hz and boosting high treble; on the 10G, engage the OD button with gain at 8, push treble to 8 for bite, and keep bass moderate at 5 to prevent the 6-inch speaker from farting out. Adding a graphic EQ pedal in front will let you carve out the mids properly to achieve the exact signature scoop.
