    It's weird to analyze a Dime demo cause I honestly don't love how his tone sounded by itself, outside a track.
    But he was a genius, cause in the mix that shit sounded brutal, huge, violent, heavy and evil.

      @thirteenthandy 5 років тому +1

      It's seriously impressive for a solid state rig, and it's interesting that the overdrive sounds good with it since normally using those for a clean boost is meant to push tubes more. I think I'd still miss the tube feel if I were playing it. Nothing compares.

      its not drop g, its octave G. totally different. That means his whole guitar is in D standard (well, below a bit like usual pantera tuning) except his 6th string which is down to G.

    I agree. According to the video's that you made this one (the X2) does sound a hell of a lot better then the first Randall Warhead (closer to Dime's sound). Although i can totally see the first Warhead being used in a Stoner/Sludge type of situation as it sort of has that sound. The X2 has more of a high-gain sound imo.

I have a RH200 amp head and a peavey 5150 cabinet. They work very nice together. I gave up trying to sound like dime because no one can. He was just unique. But I came into my own trying to sound like him so theres that. Anyways keep up the good work.

    Gonna have to get the wife set up to tweak the phasers and get the dime squeals goin. Think they should be called Dimonics or, get u pull bends. Still alot of mourning for the best and heaviest known brother duo in metal here in Texas. I'd like to think their passing would unearth or rotate a new greatness in the metal scene. God knows we could use it. Definitely a killer Amp. Jealous as usual. Thanks!

    The Fortin just absolutely transforms it into the best chug machine I've ever heard. Wow.

    I laughed out loud when you struggled to turn the pages in the manual. Your videos are always fun.

    I equipped my old bass amp with a similar position marker feature. Mine was a pink paint pen and I only did it because my son was young at the time and he thought he would help daddy out by making sure all the dials were pointed straight up.
