Thank you!! It’s much better than this garbage lol I have to make a whole new video. Lots of people been commenting and it’s better now than it ever was so I need to get off my ass and do another one
I have one of those 31-band EQ's too! Mine's been broken for a few years, but I used to use it as the 6-band before I got my 6-band! Anyways, it's cool to hear a clear tone video of the C170! 👍
@@DomicidalCovers lol I have literally never used mine. Got it for my birthday like 4 years ago and it just sits there as a decoration piece lol thank you for that! Check out the video where I did with the rig in a mix. It’s newer video but it’s titled Dimebag Tone in a mix I believe.
Thank for sharing what Grady shared with you in this video. I don’t own any of this gear but I’m trying recreate Dime’s tone in my Axe FX 3. Now that know the order he ran everything I at least have a starting point.
Could you do a video of a dime rig but going through the gear piece by piece? Starting from guitar to amp then adding each piece of gear so we can hear what each piece is doing. Killer Tone!
I sure can do that. The only piece I wouldn’t be able to turn off is the 6 band cause it doesn’t have a switch. It just stays on. Other than that I can do that for the rest
Well, technically half of Dime's tone. He used an ABY (or "ABC") and ran into a second "dry" amp. For cleans he used a Mesa Boogie MkIV that was "hidden" inside a Randall chassis, until the Warhead came out.. And one more extremely important thing.
Been waiting for this one, tearin it up as usual! Thanks for doing this man. I have most of this gear and some similar stuff, I've been getting some great tones with it but I'm just having some trouble nailing the Dime tone. Hopefully this will help me get closer to it, thanks again!
Haha I know my man, lot of people have been! It makes me feel good that im doing something right if you and others have been waiting for it and got right on it as it popped up! I appreciate you and the support my man! Schweet! I hope this video helped you get there!! Let me know if it helped or got you closer!
@@dustylnstudios3938 hey can you check in the back of your aphex for the +4db settings etc.. whats yours on? Theres a few pieces i believe that has a switch for + or - db on the back... whats yours set to?
@@dustylnstudios3938 and its weird thr HUGE tonal difference between your 170 and my 170 ii... the 170ii has to much natural gain and dont take to being boosted well at all... sounds muddy and shitty with all those exact settings on a real jag cab from the 80s sounds like strait dick
Are u sure those have jaqs? They should just be regular Randall speakers. I took my by back plate off and was curious myself. They were just regular Randall.
Hey I just bought an rx412 cab, I have yet to hook everything up but your videos sound fantastic and have me feeling better about my purchase. What’s your overall opinion of the cab?
Hey man, great video! How did you get in touch with Grady Champion? I live in Dallas and I've been looking for a good guitar tech for a metal guitar with a Floyd, and I know he'd be the man with that answer.
I got in contact with Grady through Facebook. Super nice guy, doesn’t always respond because I’m sure he has a busy life lol but when he does he’s nice and explains it very simple.
Let me check on those settings my man! Up front it does do a little something but it’s very subtle, the effects loop is where I believe this unit really shines! Up front I believe adds a little more sizzle to your gain. In the loop it will take and make your amp thump really well and hard!
@@aprince93 yep! I’ve ran it both ways in the loop out and out front and out front it just adds more sizzle! Well thank you! The tone has since changed but for the better! Check out my most recent video I uploaded! The tone is way better than this
Question, are you running the wah cocked in the chain? Is it contributing to the gain structure in any significant way? Really the closest I’ve seen anyone get to the grail.
No my man, I honestly really don’t use the Wah that much. I pretty much have it for nerd purposes really lol 😂 I have noticed though. If I ran either the Dime signature Wah or the crybaby original it wouldn’t work right, it would cut the tone off and make it sound like the threshold on your noise gate was super super tight. The Vox Wah works perfect! It’s weird lol Lol thanks man, i put a lot of hard work and time into this rig and getting it as close as I can, still feel like it could use a tweak or two. Theres some UA-camrs that have damn good tone. KILL-X, Haze-Covers to name a couple. Check them out as well!
Thanks man! I appreciate that! Hmmm 🤔 that’s a good question. If you sit and tweak it, it may get close! There’s someone that plays Pantera tunes with a Marshall JVM 410 and it’s in the ballpark with tone!
I tryed these same settings on my 170 mkii and it wasnt the same. I played through a vintage jag 4x12 from the 80s .. dean ml usa slime... patent pending bill lawrence l500 lead.... ..all exact equipment. Can you name the exact #'s 100 850 1.5 6k?
Hey i appreciate all the help brother. I tryed contacting grady a few times to no prevail....(i dont think he liked my republican anti moron political views he saw on my fb) for a texan hes the most liberal one ive ever saw.
It really isnt, but the doubler effect does give your tone a bit of extra "bite" (probably only noticable at high volume considering how fucking blasted Dime kept his volume knob at all times)
I would say it makes the tone more well rounded! There are cheaper alternatives out there. The MXR Digital Time Delay has a doubler and flanger built into it. Along with Chorus and Delay! I use to have one of those. Then there is the UAD Astra pedal. That has the original MXR Flanger/Doubler effect along with 3 other effects! (Definitely looking into the Astra) You can also get a double effect with a MXR Carbon Copy Delay, you’ll just have to set it right.
Thanks for the replies gentleman. I'm definitely going to skip that piece of gear along with the blue face 6 band EQ. Don't need to be exact I'm not trying to start a cover band just trying to jam in my underwear on my days off
@@dustylnstudios3938 whats funny is those are a bit off.... i actually found a few pics where grady moved the knobs of the second pq4 so it matched the first one (damageplan) settings... but what he forgot to do was remove the greese pencil marks on the bottom one where the (pantera) settings go :) whoops grady.. ide imagine its vdp settings since damageplan played walk a lot... booom
This is one of the best Dime tones I’ve heard. 🙏
Thank you!! It’s much better than this garbage lol I have to make a whole new video. Lots of people been commenting and it’s better now than it ever was so I need to get off my ass and do another one
Your a legend along with your setup!! Dime would be proud
Thanks man! Much appreciated!
thank you soo much dude, all those pantera riffs and ''dime bag chit chat'' has teleported me back to my youth some 25 odd years ago, PRICELESS.....
Lol thank you my man! I appreciate that! I’m glad I could bring back some nostalgia for you!
Ahahaha the pause for the mouse had me ! 🐭lol

I like that you are genuinely happy when playing. Keep rockin man! Subscribed!
Thank you my man!! Of course man. Music has always been my happy place!
I appreciate you for subscribing! Thank you very much!
Ahh, yes finally! The Rig Rundown is finally here, this is the definitive dime tone on YT now
Lol I k is it’s about time! Hope you enjoy it my man! The audio should be fixed as well!
@@dustylnstudios3938 The guitar audio sounds great now, my only recommendation now is a mic for you when you speak on camera!

Awesome to see a fellow Pennsylvanian
Haha always is nice!! Not many of us PA UA-camrs out there. A couple!
Awesome bro! 👍
do you run everything through the front? You didn't go into the actual connection of everything
Are u sure those have jaqs? They should just be regular Randall speakers. I took my by back plate off and was curious myself. They were just regular Randall.
bro just found you and I love your channel
Well thank you!! I appreciate that my man!
Were you on the Dean forum during its hey-days?
No unfortunately I wasn’t lol
spot on 🤘🏼
Thank you my man!
Hey I just bought an rx412 cab, I have yet to hook everything up but your videos sound fantastic and have me feeling better about my purchase. What’s your overall opinion of the cab?
It’s a great cab! I absolutely love mine and I wouldn’t get rid of it! They come with reissued jaguar speakers! Thank you for your compliment!
Hell yeah getcha pull
Glad you enjoyed it my man! 🤘🏽🤘🏽
What song is that? 10:36
That’s my tribute song to Dime. I just took a bunch of Pantera riffs, changed them and slapped em all together lol

@@dustylnstudios3938 Oh yeah, I seen that video before.
@@SeabassIbarra it could work, just need some tweaking. Scooped mids on the amp and then boost them with the 6 band and PQ4! Do you have those pieces?
@@dustylnstudios3938 No, but I will get an EQ pedal when I buy it.
@@SeabassIbarra nice!! You can use pretty much any parametric eq as well! I used to use a Rane Pe15. They work as an alternative!
You plug everything into power conditioner?
Yes sir!
