01Parametric / Graphic EQ (e.g., MXR 6-Band or Boss GE-7)
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; place in FX loop or front to capture Dimebag's exact Furman PQ-3 pre-amp boost and mid scoop
Dimebag's signature attack relies on solid-state clipping combined with extreme mid-scooping from outboard parametric EQs. On the Marshall MG30GFX, select the high-gain OD-2 channel with gain at 8, scoop the amp's mid control down to 2, and push bass and treble to mimic the aggressive Randall solid-state bite. The Gio's Infinity R passive humbuckers lack the extreme output and treble sizzle of Dime's Bill Lawrence L-500XL, so keeping the guitar tone wide open and treble high is essential.
