RECOMMENDED — not currently owned (run direct into amp input)
Dimebag's signature tone relies on solid-state clipping and heavy pre-gain parametric EQ carving that a tube JCM800 cannot produce unassisted. To prevent double-gain mud while capturing the signature razor bite, the recommended distortion pedal supplies the primary saturation while the JCM800 preamp volume is kept low at 2 with the mid control heavily scooped. The active EMG 81 in your Jim Root Telecaster provides the necessary fast transient attack and high output to emulate Dime's Bill Lawrence pickup.
