Revisiting the DIME D100 amplifier. I did a demo 10 years ago on this very channel. What has changed? Mostly me and my knowledge...
Might as well milk all the views you can from the 'reunion' hype, eh?
Eminence eventually sold the speakers they had built for these cabs, they probably kept em 10 years then sold them. They went for like 17$ per speakers close to 2010-2012
Bust out the Randall X2 again. As close as you can get to Dime in a box.
@@no_problem8023 Ola’s been doing Dimebag vids for literally 10+ years. Quit milking the “reunion” for drama.
@@dherdy9205 I was gonna say the exact same thing
I think that people underestimate how important Rex’s bass was to that overall sound. Yeah his articulation got buried in the mix sometimes, but it was still part of the thickness.
100%. Dime was Awesome, but he fed off of Rex
They all fed of each other. They were basically a super group from the getgo. Dime and Vinnie with the groove, Dime and Rex with the tone, and Phil with the testosterone and heavy lyrics.
I love pantera but this is cope. Dime playing solo in his clinics had the thickness. Rex was basically useless.
Rex and Dime were a unit. It’s so great to see Dime walk up to Rex on stage and hype him up and then they break out and start jamming. Fucking awesome. Talk about chemistry, not all bands have a happy ending but this band had an immaculate lineup not because of their talent but because of how they all worked with each other
If you doubt Rex and Phil's contributions to Pantera, listen to the Damageplan album. Then listen to the Rebel Meets Rebel album which had Rex and was recorded well before Pantera broke up.
Thank you Ola for being such a Pantera fan, you keep the brothers legacy alive so much, you’re doing the world a friggin service \m/
I gotta say this stack looks really good! Great tone man. 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Stay Metal Ray! Also subscribe to you. You rock bro. 🤘👏👏🤘🤘
Funny seeing you here Ray! Big fan…respect
Not a fan of the white.
@@Twobarpsi good guys wear black 🐎
@@Crazy_Neighbor white is 80s glam metal, not Dime approved.
So happy that you may now play dimebag stuff louder than ever :) thanks to that move!
More revisits of amps!
Ola, I literally bought one of these Saturday and came onto your channel to see if you ever did a vid on them....perfect timing!
I love how the amp sounds! Love it! Keep the good work Ola! Getcha Pull!
Im so suprised you revisited this amp, i got this amp from your original video years ago. This is a trip down memory lane here!
Great video Ola! I can't believe that I'm lucky enough to have one of these. It's totally awesome
Man this tone is so amazing ! It never gets old!!!
I love you Ola. You are fantastic. I smile knowing dudes like you are out there. I'm not drunk. Great video. Great amp!
This is the most accurate dimebag tone I ever heard, also spot on playing from Ola
Agree to disagree.
4 Sure!
Wouldn't be a true gear review without the 99 opening riff 👌 cheers Ola! Love your work mate!
I had one of these provided as backline for a festival once, having never heard of them before. Not what I was expecting but it ended up being pretty decent!
Is there anything you haven't played through? You sir.... are the legend!
For realz
Ola try Running a Boss GE-7 Eq (or similar) through the fx loop. This paired with one of the Krank Cabs will literally get you 99.9999% there dude
I think what's missing is that hump centered at 600-800 Hz that gives Dime's tone its signature crunch. But overall, turns out that the bad rap on these wasn't really justified, cus that's a pretty nice foundation to work with!
As far as the Precision Drive, I find that it makes things sound a _liiittle bit_ too spanky, even for Dime's standards - and the L500XL and Dimebucker are already quite spanky to begin with. They have this very prominent peak at around 2.1 or 2.2 kHz, which does come across quite a bit in distorted tones... so that might actually be the "spike" you're referring to.
A ts9 would’ve been better…
these newer modern drive pedals are more for lower tunings, definitely not on a Dime tone. I have an Airis Effects savage drive and I can agree it is a bit too spanky for Dime standards
Well said. TS9 would have solved both problems you mention
The Precision Drive is HIGHLY over-rated.
That spikyness is mainly prevalent with the precision drive, it removes too much of the oomph from the guitar and the bright control Is definitely too high and the gain is a little low from the drive. The thinner jangly overdrive settings definitely are nasty but not in the way you want I think
That background looks soooooo sick. Congrats Ola
Awesome sounding amp! And Ola, stop flexing on us with your incredible playing! 🤣🤘🏻
GREAT VID OLA! YOU NAILED THAT TONE!
This is perfect, I was literally researching this amp a couple of weeks ago, great job as always Ola! You never disappoint!
Disappoint *
@@Dime_time333 thanks 😂
@@maddoxmay611 we can just blame the phone
@@Dime_time333 read my mind 😂🤘
Your tone always nailing it!
Sat off work with the Rona losing the will to live and BAMMMMMM Olas put up a video. What a day
That cab shrieks a little bit, I definitely heard it too. Great vid Ola, and some good insights and stuff. Keep it up, also never hate hearing Pantera here!
Truthfully the one of the only guitarist to understand heavy and fast in such a great way truly missed he is
Thanks for the tips on removing spring noise. Going to try it.
Very very characteristic amp, i wish i could have it. thanks for sharing Ola !
I saw Dime just clicked automatically and enjoying nice video!
That stack looks and Sounds Awesome Ola .
Hello Ola! How you're doing man? My name is Celso, from Brazil. I'm a huge fan of Pantera and Dimebag just like you, and i think you might make a video series with this amp and the Dimebag guitars playing Pantera songs! We'll appreciate that and we will have a better idea of this amp is capable of! Thanks man for always keeping the legacy of Pantera and the Abbott brother's moving forward! 🤘
The Dimebucker makes a huge difference , I had it in my Dimeblade. It has a ridiculously high output!
Dimebag related video on my birthday? lets go!!
I have the D100C, but it came with no pedal. I use the one for my Peavey Sheffield Bandit and it does the same job. Great Video as Usual Ola ; ) I am a huge Dime Worshiper myself🤘✌🖖
Hell yeah bro 🤘🏻🤘🏻rip Dime and Vinnie
Michael Angelo Batio used them, I saw the same NAMM video you did, and I knew what to add to them so I could get the perfect tone, but haven't been able to own one myself. I'm weird, I enjoyed the stuff nobody else liked, and I REALLY enjoyed the Dime stacks. If I could have one, man, that'd be a dream come true. Maybe one day I'll be fortunate enough.
I love that Ola is hella stoked about gear. I always get a big grin on my face watching him just riff through stuff he likes. So good.
I had the Randell, I believe it was 200, been years since I owned it, this Dimebag amp your playing through looks better and sounds better in my opinion, I think Dimebag would have loved it!!!
We all love The Abbot brothers, they blessed us with their wonderful music and abilities!!!
The way the lighting is, it looks like ola is right on the edge of the stage about to roll off. Had me on edge haha.
Your one of the most awesome guitar players around and you respect dime very closely and I respect you for it🤘
Ten years later . Look forward to more of this series
Had to put my headphones on to watch today because the wife was on the phone, I lost that battle but man, I'll be using them every single time from now on. I have always had small combo amps, but on the odd occasion when I got to play through a 4x12 cab you get that big fat smack in the face sound you only get with big speakers moving lots of air and the headphones really brought that out. Wear your headphones people, Ola is better with them on. Love your work dude.
If you don't already have some, get some studio referencing headphones. You don't have to break the bank, I bought an old pair of Sennheisers for 20 quid which sound really true to life. There's loads on ebay, mine were from a studio that were upgrading their kit and they just needed new ear pads and a headband pad. Out of date for pro's but great for me and starting out in my dinky home studio 🎙
Ola the new Set is FREAKING DOPE!!!!
It has my worthless approval!!
Nice review. Sounds great.
Ola you nailed it!
Damn that Floods Solo looks hard. There's so much nuance there. 🤘🤘👊
Hi Ola! I was stupidly amazed by the whole foam thing. I had never seen that trick before, and would be very interested in seeing more useful tech tricks. Which brings me to my point/question: It would be great to see a video, in which you share some tech tricks. Or, if you have a ton of them, maybe make a segment where you share a tip per Swola? Take care! And thank you very much for your videos!
i remember seeing that amp in a guitar magazine. an thinking..yeah ill never see one in person an ill never be able to buy one. 2022! an it still holds true. but nice to see you trying one out again.
On this side of the fence Skittles it sounds inspiring. I would love to get into that jam with you. I'd say its " Crushing ". Your hired.
It's impossible to get Dime's tone in one amp. Dude had some many little tricks he did to achieve that sound. I still think I liked the tones out of the Krankenstein better than most of his other signature amps. Great stuff, Ola.
Exactly,i don't think anyone could crack his tones,i have watched thousands of pantera's cover,only few came close but not really.his was a super unique one.
I definitely think there’s still some secrets dimes did with his tone that we will never know.. maybe for the best
@@sheldonwright8770 it’s called studio magic and production
Randall X2 warhead. Dime in a box. Check out Ola's video of the X2. I have a couple of them.
Dime was a big Eddie Van Halen fan and most likely took from his playbook by keeping his full setup and tone secrets to himself while throwing people "off his scent" at the same time.
Hell yeah! Just went on RUclips🎸, this popped up, anything Ola I click on!
Sounds terrific
Im ready for another krankenstein video. That dime sounds amazing 🤘🏼🤘🏼
That sounds so badass.
Perfect review RIP Dime
That spike hurts the ears but there is definitely great tone in there. I'd love to see a series where you match up each head you have to a bunch of cabs. It'd be a load of work but great content!
@@creamwobbly I have yeah
Dimebag will always be my favorite guitar player. Yes he was obviously extremely skilled, but he also had an awesome style and on top of that he was extremely fun to watch play on stage. He really was the center of the show every time I watched Pantera, Phil was entertaining too but Dime was the best showman. Most fun to watch guitar player I have ever seen. He was a character.
3:45 Front Line Assembly 'Division of Mind'-?
Brings back good memories of my CD collection that was stolen, twenty years ago.
I love your work. Keep it up 🤘🏻
nah, it's A New Level, but pretty similar riffs
Really cool amp! I remember when these came out, sounds excellent!
this put the biggest smile on my face
My god that bass tone in the intro was INSANE!
Very nice looking stack!!!!!
I love the 10 years later series already.
I got one of those, and now you made the prices go through the roof 😊 #tacksåmycketola 🤘
Nice shirt dude🤘🤘🤘
I like your videos👍💯
thanks for great tech tip on spring noise. I would have been flubbing around all day with EQ and pulling tubes out! :)
Awesome 🤘@Ola Englund, I use the 6 band EQ on my DIME Amp. It helps a lot.
That bass tone is gnarllyyyyy
99! Thanks Ola! ✌️
It may not sound exactly like Dimebags tone, however as a amp of its own it gives a great metal tone in its own right to be honest. A lot more midrange and can give a great modern metal tones. This is a killer amp and someone can come up with thier own signature tone with it.
I agree I love it
Dude .. you playing is a vibe 😎
Dear Mr.OLA.......you are the spokesperson for this amp!!!....tnx,...big fan...pat,,,,land o' lakes,wi...usa
Straight in no bullshit!! Love it!!!
Hola Ola, 😂 the 99 riff is a fucking beast. Gonna dig into it again!
When this was something new, I thought a lot about getting one, also with the Randall RG1503, but I didn't go for it and now in Spain there're no one of those in the used market. Solidstate amps last forever. Cool video bro.
My solid state just recently broke on me
Wow, this is a really loud video - I like 🤩
Awesome...i also came across an old vid of you playing the, Hughes & Kettner- Switch Blade 100....
And would like to see,a updated review of that amp....
Whoah, I never saw this when it came out. Instant Dime for sure 🤤🥳
Siiick … need one ✅🤘🏽
I am a proud owner of one of these but in black. One of the coolest feature it has is that you can play both channels simultaneously.
love the way it looks
If I recall correctly, in an interview back in the day Dime boosted the hell out of the signal going into the amp, with the preamp gain set a bit low to tame that woofy sound.
Back when I had my rg I ran a distortion pedal through the clean channel with the gain at something like 0.1.
There was an in depth interview in a magazine that iirc was called Thrash Guitarist where Dime discussed how he got his Vulgar Display tone and in particular his tone on F***ing Hostile.
The description went something along the lines of that Dime grabbed a handful of distortion pedals, plugged them all in in series, he couldn't remember them all but there was a big pig in there and a fuzz face and he said "I had to keep hold of the guitar in case the feedback ripped it out of my hands" 😆 🤣 .
Can you get any more Dime?
Phil: "What distortion pedal shall we use for this really angry song?"
Dime: "Yes!"
Love to see you rock all these Orbit Culture shirts lately ! This band is insane !
Holy grail amp!
That amp sounds good!
Imagine if Dimebag was still alive and these became his signature amps. 😩💖
Dime was moving away from this solid state stuff. His Kranks sounded WAY better IMO.
Honesty, even before N.G killed Darrell I remember thinking Dime was going to die soon due to his alcohol abuse. I remember before his death kind of losing a bit of respect for him as a human being due to his alcohol addiction, I kind of got to the point where I honestly wanted to see the guy clean up his act! Even if he wasn't murdered I highly doubt he'd still be alive today...I know a lot of his fans liked the drunk Darrell, but myself as a fan started to think the alcohol was getting the best of him.
@@TheBridgesYouBurn funny enough i've heard about Dime having written letters about him wanting to get sober. It's very possible he would've went to get clean. He even had plans to try and reunite Pantera again before that tragic evening in Ohio.
I remember when he first broke out, and was playing solid-state Randall amps while still getting that monster tone.
I'm a simple being... I see 'Dime'and 'Ola', I click like 👑
I always played Cemetery Gates' squealing amazing riff next to the nut. Pinches always come jumping out for me there, and I play .8's so bending not a problem
I had one of these a few years ago, cool amps. I had mine paired with a randall 4x12 but I can't remember what speakers I had in it. Had to sell it years ago due to financial issues but I enjoyed it alot.
Killer !! I'm still waiting Will it chug!!!⚠️⚡⚡saludos Ola o debería decir Hola! jaja te saludo desde México ! Big fan cheers from México
I had a Randall RG100ES years ago, It had a ton of gain which was surprising for its age, but it really didn't sound like Dime's tone. I eventually realized that he used a ton of post EQ and that's how he got his tone. He took a mediocre, muddy sounding amp and made it sound good and unique. Unfortunately I sold that amp, but luckily got pretty much all the money back I had into it because of its value and rarity.
Muddy!? You must have had a dud or a 'tired' amp!? I have one and people cannot believe how tight and powerful that amp is straight in without ANY pedals whatsoever. A sleeping giant of an amp. This coming from a guy who owns 2 EVH 100S Stealths, Mesa Road King 2 V2, Marshall JVM 410H, 2 Ampeg 140CC's to name a few in the high gain camp I own. Trust me - your experience is an unusual one.
I had one as well, I agree. I ran a set of active humbuckers into the face and it had a really hot sound for an amp of it's age but it always lacked something. I was close but not close enough to ever be satisfied. Although I wasn't going for dimes sound, I was going for max Chug usually. Boost on always. Was weak without it, even with the 9volts
I had about 50 amps..... I was always experimenting with my engineer new capacitors and NOS tubes and trading...so I had mesa rectifier a lot of times...bogner shiva...diezels....plexis vintage..etc... And there were 2 amps that made me crazy... Orange Rockerverb MK1 ( not 2 , not 3... 1 ) and this dime D-100...fuckin amazing man
It'd be interesting to hear this with a tubescreamer instead. I think that characteristic hump it has would lend itself better to Dime's tone with this amp and those pickups than a more modern OD which feel to me, at least, like they're more catering to lower tunings and lack that sound profile that the TS does
the precision drive is basically a tube screamer though.
OLA is such a Beast at getting great tone
Getcha pull! 🤘
I just traded for one of these! Thanks for doing this video.
That stack looks beautiful
Oh thank you Ola... You're gonna raise the used prices of these after your video.
I run this amp in my own personal rig. It’s a killer when you roll the gain back and boost the mids while cutting a bit of the highs…the tightness is UNREAL 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
My own setup:
Dime D100 head
Voodoo 4x12 cab with V30 / (I believe) Greenback mix
Hotone Ampero multi-effects unit
Jackson KEXQ Kelly w EMG H3 bridge, H2 neck
Jackson SL7Q Soloist w EMG 57/66 combo
The EMG passive pickups sound cool. I have several of them (H1 (2), H2 (2) ALX (2), H1A (2), H2A (2), H4, H3) and they sound killer. Then again, I'm not using them with poor sounding beginner gear, so they sound better than most people would assume.
@@austinfailz if only they made them for seven string guitars, I’d have the H3 / H2 combo in both. I’m partial to the 57/66 combo though, they’re very versatile 😊
@@austinfailz why do you have to virtue signal the fact that your not using beginner gear?
Do you say that at the beginning of a live show, so that everyone is clear on the subject?
"Hey folks I expect to raise your expectations because I'm NOT using poor sounding beginner gear like some other stupid putz.
Understand, my gear is top notch professional sounding gear, unsurpassed in quality and performance!
And i have to mention that i have SEVERAL EMG passive pickups, and they sound coooool!
Here, let me list them:
Starting here i have the (H1 (2), H2 (2) and blah bla blahhhhhhhhhhuugh.
Crowd leaves.
@@moo3992 Lol what are you babbling about? If you don't like what I am saying, then go read some other comments. Like seriously, keep scrolling bro.
@@moo3992 I don't think you know what virtue signaling is.
Can't wait to hear the Dar FBM 10 years later
I have Dimebag pickups on my Vudu and I put the blade pickup in the bridge position too as well as the neck position.
it's the tastiest metal blue sound you'll ever hear and I could play that metal stuff that you're playing too it sounds clear and clean with that on a orange crush 20 watt amp I use four of those in Quad Channel with a quad Channel pedal board awesome dude
Dude that’s a pretty sick amp, I typically go for peaveys but I wouldn’t mind playing on one of these
sounds great!
