That was THE heavy tone to cop for a whileI have always loved Dime's tone.
If you grew up back then, everyone was trying to copy that sound.

If I learned anything we loved shit tone when we were younger lolI'm definitely a Dime-tone apologist
It's unique, and more importantly it's aggressive and sits well with the rest of the band. I may just have a shit ear though - I've heard plenty of people talk well of old Deftones guitar sound and that shit sounds horrid to me.
I still love both of those tones, lol.If I learned anything we loved shit tone when we were younger lol
I remember thinking the Rammstein Sehnsucht/Herzeleid sound was THE sound to get. Now that I go back, it's way too scooped and harsh.
As a devout fanboi I'm aware of all the tall tales and all the things he did and didn't use.He never recorded with the Warhead as far as I can tell. Only the RG100ES and Century. Even Southern Trendkill and Reinventing the Steel were RG100ES.

Dimebag Darrell's Randall Warhead – Ground Guitar
This is Dimebag's signature amp made by Randall, developed based on his feedback and needs. The amp featured two channels, independent gain and masterwww.groundguitar.com
And yeah according to this (from Grady himself) he only used it for clean live.![]()
Dimebag day: Dime's longtime tech Grady Champion talks guitars, amps and tone
"I had to convince my parents that going on the road with Pantera was somehow better than going to college!”www.musicradar.com
This is how I felt last night listening to some recommended strapping young lad songs that people mentioned in the Devin/Tosin/JP interview thread. That SYL tone is so bad.Why would Dime want to dial in his own tone? I respect that Walk is one of the metal songs of ever, but holy fuck is that guitar tone rough to listen to. Makes a Line 6 Spider III 15W in Insane mode sound like a cranked 5150 in comparison.

Those are actually great tones so you had great taste lolThe tones I always wished I had when I was a kid in the 90’s were:
Fear Factory Demanufacture
The Black Album
Machine Head Burn my Eyes
Dime’s tone was alright. It worked for him and a lot of people have been aping the Dime tone eversince.
Phil’s corny lyrics and tough guy vocals were far more irritating. lmao Probably why Pantera was always the lamest gateway metal band you can get into back in high school in my time.
Important to note they are only making 333 of them. Good luck getting one. I wish people would just stop milking the Dimebag name with stuff like this.So they sent out an email this weekend it seems?
The company is being ran by David Karon of KHDK fame. Preorders are opening soon and are shipping next month, and the first amp they're releasing is a limited edition 40w single-channel amp. Which is a far cry from the original 300w amp lol. But they call it the "mini" amp, so I gess a big one is coming in the future.
I'm absolutely not shocked since finding out Karon is involved. KHDK loooooves their limited edition gearImportant to note they are only making 333 of them. Good luck getting one. I wish people would just stop milking the Dimebag name with stuff like this.
40w solid state relegates it to a toy at home type amp.
Are/were any of his signature products good?but I had a Warhead 2x12 combo. It sucked.
I heard a story that the Warhead was them trying to put his name on an amp he had no hand in designing at all. Its a Randall Cyclone with built in effects. I think he actually had a hand in the X2 and for sure the Krankenstein which is getting a better reuputation these days.Are/were any of his signature products good?
I personally have a very poor view of products with his namesake on it, because they were just pumping shit out with his name when I was in middle school
I have not heard good or bad things about Dean. Never heard a good thing about Krank. His MXR distortion pedal, never heard anything good about that. I liked the CFH wah, though.
