I love the tones you get, but this may be my favorite so far. I feel like it brings a lot of clarity to your riff style. The upper midrange grind just sounds sick with your rhythm style. The palm mutes still feel full and punchy too. Good stuff.
Sounds sick, been very tempted with some of Master’s eq stuff and their Marshall 8100 pedal. As far as recreating Dime’s tone I’ve landed on just using Ola’s Dimed jaguar impulse response, I’d say it gets me 75% of the way there with almost any tight high gain amp/pedal combo. For £5 its definitely the economical choice anyway 😂
Yesh! That is all dimebag did also. Just find some great sounding things to make a sound and get yer pull on! yeah! Darrell knew parametric EQ's sound great, and i am do also!
The tone was very close without the EQFH. Adding it sent the tone off into a different metal territory, but not getting closer to Pantera tones. I wonder if the other version would match up better.
Which pedal order do you recommend for the Dimebag? MXR EQ pedal + EQFH + Vulgar or MXR EQ + Vulgar + EQFH? I'm confused on which pedal order to use to get that Dimebag Picking Attack tone. You mentioned about Dimebag picking attack tone but how do you dial in the EQFH and MXR EQ to get that Dimebag picking attack tone?
@@MetalHeadProductions yes I saw your settings but what I'm confused about is what do you mean by that trademark Dimebag picking attack? when dialing in the EQ setting what should I be trying to listen to reach that Dimebag picking attack?
@@waynegram8907 if you listen to Dime's tone it's scooped a bunch, but there is this really cutting upper mid bite and pick attack he always had. That's more of what I'm getting at.
@@MetalHeadProductions The MXR EQ does the Scooped but the Furman PQ4 is what gives the picking attack, the furman PQ4 gets that clicking attack of the picking
@@waynegram8907 actually the Mxr is being used a mid boost, into the EQFH which is further shaping the sound and pushing certain frequencies, and the vulgar is really scooped.
My cheaper solution is just a joyo mxr 6 band copy into a boss katana mk2 with para eq boosting more mids and another scooping. But i want one of these pq3 so I can have a better Q selection.
He would rotate it 180° so if you think about a bridge pickup that doesn't have blades, but pol pieces and screws, the screws face towards the bridge, but if you flip it, the screws face the neck. It's like that.
@@waynegram8907 that doesn't really mean it's out of phase. It could be out of phase with his neck pickup, or more likely the bill Lawrence came stock out of phase with Duncan 59 he liked to use in the neck. Flipping it wouldn't really have much of any impact on the sound.
@@waynegram8907 it might have a bit, but nothing that would be massive or that you could pick out from a record. Now, it could have been as simple as the bill Lawrence was out of phase with the neck pickup from duncan and flipping it solved this issue. I'd say this is pretty likely too because his Seymour Duncan dimebucker wasn't flipped and it was in phase with the 59 he paired it with.
I mean absolutely no disrespect to the legend. But his tone is just thin and cheesy. People just like it, cause its Dimebag. If Dimebag never existed, and some random band was using the same exact tone. No one would pay any mind. This tone sucks!
It was of an era but it demonstrably was never thin, of anything, his tone had way too much low end. In fact, they always had a hard time getting the bass and kick drum to sit right with the guitar because it had just so much low end information to it. That's a big reason why Vinnie's kit was so clicky, so it could cut through the mix and be heard. Dime's tone definitely works for the band and what the time and place it existed in and I honestly couldn't picture the Pantera albums with any other guitar sound.
@@MetalHeadProductions Well we have different definitions of thin then. His tone sounds like it’s coming out of a tin can. And if his tone was different, you would be saying the same exact things, about that tone.
@@9hk38f when I, and usually sound guys, talk about thin, it means no low end. I think you're getting at more that biting harshness he liked so much, which is fair enough to not be a fan of.
@@9hk38f and idk if I would be saying that about a different tone. I can easily picture other bands with iconic tones having better guitar tones. Metallica for example, also Megadeth. Not done though, that sound was really unique and it's a part of the songs.
@@MetalHeadProductions Well Kirk and Dave are still alive. So of course you aren’t going to over glorify their tones. I know I’m sounding like a snotty troll here. But I’m just being bluntly real. Look at Nirvana and Kurt Cobaine. No disrespect, but they are a perfect example of what I’m talking about. Someone famous dies, everything suddenly becomes over exaggerated, over hyped, over glorified. Say what you want, but when I listen to a recorded Pantera song, the mix quality is barely better then a 1990 black metal song. It sounds thin, fuzzy, and clanky.

Somebody tag Ola and Sammy duet in this 😂
Good video. I have Master Effects' Marauder pedal, it's fantastic! Hail Dime!🤘

Can confirm their valvestate pedal nails that death sound.
@@MetalHeadProductions i Will buy One of those and found my each sound
Yesh! That is all dimebag did also. Just find some great sounding things to make a sound and get yer pull on! yeah! Darrell knew parametric EQ's sound great, and i am do also!
I think it sounds alright. Good experiment.
I’m waiting on the Vulger now. That eqfh sends it into overdrive. Shhhhhit.
The tone was very close without the EQFH. Adding it sent the tone off into a different metal territory, but not getting closer to Pantera tones. I wonder if the other version would match up better.
Thank you for this. I'm thinking of getting one.
Hell yeah man! Good job!

MXR > EQFH > Vulgar
I do have the settings in the video, when you see them out of a mix, that was the settings I used.

Well I'm using both as a boost and scooping the mods on the preamp section itself, but I'm sure you can get similar results.
@@MetalHeadProductions with the boss katana mk2 you can the edit signal chain so the parametric EQ is before the preamp like how dime had it.
METALHEAD PRODUCTIONS, What do you mean by Dimebag used the Bill Lawrence pickup FLIPPED?
He would rotate it 180° so if you think about a bridge pickup that doesn't have blades, but pol pieces and screws, the screws face towards the bridge, but if you flip it, the screws face the neck. It's like that.
@@MetalHeadProductions That means its "out of phase"? I didn't know Dimebag rotated his bridge pickup to be out of phase it seems.
@@waynegram8907 that doesn't really mean it's out of phase. It could be out of phase with his neck pickup, or more likely the bill Lawrence came stock out of phase with Duncan 59 he liked to use in the neck. Flipping it wouldn't really have much of any impact on the sound.
@@MetalHeadProductions Why did he flip the pickup if it didn't change the tone?

Very nice
I already got the Mxr 6 band and the master effects eqfh
do you still like them ?
@@Gorgamation yes I do
Cool.
Cmon where's the power I know it takes alot but you gotta kick that power in
What?
Nah. No dime tone
Eh, it was close
There's always one
For the average listener, the tone is all the same.😂
Idk about that, dime had a pretty different and divisive tone for sure.
