AMP1 Mercury Edition
VINTAGE Channel
For a Dimebag Darrel sound with the AMP1 Mercury Edition, we recommend the Classic channel. You will get the best results with a metal guitar with humbuckers (active or passive), but you can also achieve at least a similar sound with other guitars. Depending on the guitar and pickup type, you may have to make some compromises:
Recommended guitar type
Metal / LP-Style / Super-Strat (Humbucker)
Gain
5-6
Bass
7
Mid
3
Treble

The underrated component: the cab!
The amp is only one part of the overall sound. The speaker you use has just as big an impact on the sound. That is why the settings shown above may need to be adjusted depending on the speaker you use.
