Why these settings

The Mooer Hornet Black's 'PL. 100' model delivers the compressed high-gain saturation required for Pantera riffs. We aggressively cut the Mid knob to 2 and push Treble to 9 to mimic Dimebag's Furman/MXR scooped-mid EQ curve and razor-sharp Randall solid-state bite. The Gibson Explorer's bridge humbucker supplies thick output, so Gain at 8 provides maximum saturation without turning muddy on palm mutes.

PRO TIPDimebag tuned a quarter-step flat (approx. 425Hz instead of standard 440Hz A) for 'Walk'—tune all strings down roughly 40-50 cents, and dig hard near the bridge with an aggressive, downward-angled pick attack for that signature percussive thud.
