Hi guys

I'm running a guitar to WH-1 whammy to ZW OD to Dime wah to low in (PQ4) and low out (PQ4) to
tuner then to MXR 6 band to Century 200 low in on the front.



Firstly I've had the PQ4 for a couple of days and this connection is the best sonding.
(Pedals to PQ4 to front of head). I guess this is what you call running the PQ4 infront?



I tried the pedals to the head then the the low in (PQ4) to the FX send on the randall and the low out (PQ4) to
the FX return on the randall.

I think this what you would call running the PQ4 in the effects FX loop of the head?
This worked but I got better results running it infront which i'm happy with.



Secondly I have 2 different HUSH IIC units. (They came as a pair).

So i'm running a guitar to WH-1 whammy to ZW OD to Dime wah to low in (PQ4) and low out (PQ4) to
tuner then to MXR 6 band to Century 200 low in on the front.

And in the FX loop I'm running 1 channel of the top HUSH unit in the pics below.
The unit has 2 channels. Channel 1 input and output and channel 2 input and output.


I have the FX send to input and FX return to output in one channel.

Is this the best place for the Hush and can you use both channels and if so how do I connect it all up? Probably a retarded question but I am a jackass

Any other suggestions about the order in which things will sound better will be appreciated (tuner first and MXR last, wah first etc...)

Cheers

I just bought one of these amp and I live in Norway.

I tried to power it up with a power transformator (since I didn't have a 2 amp fuse) which I have used with the other amps I have bought from the US.
When I hit the power button, smoke started to come out of the amp.

I tried to power it up afterwards and it switches on and the light which indicates which channel is in use works and the ligt on the power switch works as well. But there are no lights on the different level knobs and I can't get a sound out of it. I took out the fuse and looked at it. It looks like it is not broken.

Have anyone of you ever heard of anything similar happend?

I hope the amp is not completely broken:(
I have to take it to the repair shop tomorrow.

Does anyone know where I can find that audio clip of pantera doing this buds for you? thanks!

Don't know if anyone has seen the commercial yet, or have paid any attention to it, but I was standing in the kitchen my with my surround sound on and all of a sudden heard Blunt Force Trauma, looked over and it was the cover song for the game "Rouge Warrior". Just thought I'd share it, I thought it was cool.

I have added a new photo album of previously unseen/unpublished photos of my late friend and brother DIMEBAG DARRELL. I will be adding more daily and sharing about 100 never before seen photos this week in honor of the 5 years since his passing. His spirit lives !!

REVOLVER Magazine has teamed with renowned and award-winning graphic illustrator Tim Bradstreet (The Punisher, Hellblazer, “Vampire: The Masquerade”) for a Pantera Vulgar Display Of Power commemorative issue, celebrating guitarist Dimebag Darrell on the fifth anniversary of his death. The issue-​-​available only on newsstands from December 22 through February 22--captures the defining moment in Pantera’s career and features Bradstreet’s stark and powerful cover illustration of the classic 1992 album cover photo.

The REVOLVER Vulgar Display Of Power issue includes an additional Pantera illustration by Bradstreet, rare photos, as well as exclusive interviews with all surviving Pantera band members (Phil Anselmo, Vinnie Paul, Rex Brown); Dime’s longtime girlfriend Rita Haney; album producer Terry Date; musicians Rob Halford, Rob Zombie, Sean Yseult, Scott Ian, Zakk Wylde, Nick Bowcott; and other key friends and associates. In fact, this marks the first piece to include interviews with both Phil Anselmo and Vinnie Paul since the 2006 VH1 “Behind The Music” on Pantera.

In this issue, REVOLVER Magazine and writer Jon Wiederhorn debunk the myth behind the Vulgar Display Of Power album cover photo shoot and reveal the stories behind how “Diamond Darrell” became “Dimebag Darrell” and the origins of Dime’s signature “Black Tooth Grin” drink.

Each newsstand copy of REVOLVER’s Vulgar Display Of Power issue will include a special memorabilia pack with an authentic replica of a Vulgar Display Of Power tour backstage laminate and concert ticket, a Pantera show flyer, and sticker. In addition, REVOLVER will give away Tim Bradstreet’s original hand-drawn cover art for the issue, an Affliction Pantera Signature Series T-shirt, Dean Dimebag Dimebonics ML Electric Guitar with Case, Dunlop MXR DD11 Dime Distortion Pedal and DB01 Dimebag Signature Wah Pedal, Seymour Duncan Dimebucker Pickup, and ddrum Vinnie Paul Signature Snare. Look for contest details in this issue and enter online at www.​REVOLVERmag.​com.

Fans can also purchase a highly limited-​edition (only 250 printed) Vulgar Display of Power Commemorative T-shirt featuring Bradstreet’s cover illustration at www. REVOLVERmag.​com/​store.

Here are some exclusive interview excerpts from REVOLVER’s Vulgar Display Of Power commemorative issue:

Vinnie Paul on Dime finishing Vulgar Display Of Power:
“We went to master the record in New York at Masterdisk. Back then, you had to master the songs one at a time, and then you’d get a tape of all the songs so you could listen to the sequence. We messed around with a couple ideas and then we found what we thought was the perfect sequence and had them put it together. And I remember Dime was sitting there on the couch and he was crying all the way through it. I went, ‘Dude, are you all right?’ And he said, ‘It’s perfect. It’s perfect. It’s exactly what I always wanted and always dreamed of. It’s frackin’ perfect.’”


Phil Anselmo on touring for Vulgar Display Of Power:
“Everyone knows there was a lot of drinking. Everyone knows there was a lot of sex. Everyone knows there was a lot of drunken sex. Yeah, I was pretty single then, and there were some incredible times where I caught myself in the middle of a situation and I look around me and put my arms in the air and said, ‘I’m the frackin’ king of the world.’ But when everyone else was playing the lay around with the ladies, Dimebag would be all frackin’ building a robot suit out of cardboard boxes or hiding in closets and scaring people.”


Illustrator Tim Bradstreet is excited to be a part of the Vulgar Display Of Power issue of REVOLVER. He explains his inspiration behind creating the cover artwork below. Also look for an essay from Tim, beginning December 22 at www.​REVOLVERMag.​com.

“It's pretty special to get a chance to work on or with something that has inspired you, and Pantera's Vulgar Display Of Power certainly had a major impact on me back in 1992. Musically it was where I was at as a 25-year-old. It was raw, visceral, powerful, and it was speaking to me lyrically as well. One phrase that still sticks out for me is from Mouth For War: ‘When I channel my hate to productive I don't find it hard to impress.’ That really resonated with me as I was full of anger and angst, and I used to channel that into my work.

The music I listened to as I worked was additional and essential fuel. A lot of my early Vampire illustrations, the work that helped put me on the map as an illustrator, were powered by heavy doses of Pantera. It was smart, and it was telling young people we all have problems, you can sit around and be defeated by the s#%t life throws your way or you can stand up and fight back on your own terms. That was a lesson I was ready to embrace.

I was a really big guy back in '92, well over 300 pounds, very self conscious, that's where a lot of my anger or self loathing came into play. I decided finally that I was going to do something about it and in the spring/summer of 1992 I made losing weight my religion. Vulgar Display Of Power was my soundtrack. I ended up losing over 100 pounds in about 4 months. I transformed myself and that was a powerful thing.

When I found out I’d be illustrating this cover for REVOLVER, it turned into an opportunity for me to say thank you to those four metal madmen. This gig has joined the ranks of a growing list of dreams that were able to come true for me. Sometimes you gotta pinch yourself.” --Tim Bradstreet


REVOLVER Editor In Chief Brandon Geist describes the motivation for creating the Vulgar Display Of Power issue:

“To celebrate Dimebag Darrell five years after his death, we wanted to look past all the tragedy and the negativity that eventually overtook Pantera. Instead, we captured him and his band at their greatest moment, as they were coming into their own, making their masterpiece-​-​and an undeniable metal classic--and taking it around the world. As a big-time Pantera fan myself, the resulting story is everything I had hoped it would be: inspiring, insightful, poignant, and most definitely hilarious--the anecdotes about Dimebag pranking groupies are priceless! I’m honored to have Phil, Vinnie, and Rex, as well as the likes of Rob Halford, Rob Zombie, Zakk Wylde, and others, come together with us to pay tribute to Pantera and to Dime.” --Brandon Geist


The January/​February issue of REVOLVER also features:

• An exclusive excerpt from Ozzy Osbourne’s autobiography I Am Ozzy, out January 25. Ozzy talks about groupies and Satanists on the first U.S. Black Sabbath tour.
• REVOLVER’s “Top 20 Albums Of The Year”
• The second installation of UFC mixed martial artist Forrest Griffin’s hilarious “F**king Hostile” column. In this issue, Forrest talks about the legality of getting into a street fight.

Bradstreet, Geist, and Wiederhorn are available for interviews.

I frakkin hate this day.




I'll toke up and choke on a black tooth grin.
One day I'll see Dimebag playin again.
PGFH

did you guys read that dime's pickups were custom made for him only? l500xxl? Jeez. Why would you need more output than a l500xl? I guess that's from seymore duncan's mouth, but kinda seems kooky. They were boosting the dime distortion too. It was good to read, but I miss the guitar worlds that actually had dime interviews in them. They were way more interesting. The Randall dudes who worked on the warhead with dime said they didn't nail the tone, even working with dime. Makes me wonder if dime couldn't nail it, how could grady with the blacktooth amp. Not talking shi t but honestly makes me wonder. hmmm.

Here are some of the many Dimebag photos I have taken over the years. I first met Dime (Diamond Darrell) in 1983 when Pantera came to San Antonio, Tx opening for Ratt on their first tour. He was 17 at the time & I remember sneaking him some shots of Crown after their set. I was shooting for Ratt, but I was so impressed by this skinny little kid w/big hair on guitar, I had to snap the shots seen below. I saw them again in Ft. Worth at Joe's Garage one more time before Phil joined the band. I got too trashed w/Dime that night before their set that I didn't shoot any pics, or want to fight w/the crowd to get them, oh well, what can I say. I did manage to get some great shots from their Cowboy's From Hell & Vulgar Display of Power tours as seen below. The one shot from 1990, you can see the pole that Dime broke the headstock on his Dean From Hell one of the times, I think it was the second time between Cowboys & Vulgar tours when they billed themselves as the Cowboys From Hell, not Pantera. That club was called the Backroom here in Austin, Tx. & Pantera played several times there. Some of these pics have been published, but most have not been seen before. The first shot some may remember from several years ago when it was used for awhile here on this site & it is in the beginning of the DimeVision DVD. Please go check out my Myspace page for more Dimebag shots & many other bands throughout the 80's & 90's. I will be adding a lot more photos over the next couple months until I re-start my web site that I had to let go a few years ago because of a very serious health issue I went through. Many of you have seen, or heard of the large Randy Rhoads prints that Dime gave to Zakk in summer 2004, I am the one that took those shots & gave them to Dime. At some point, I may make a limited ammount of those prints available for those who are interested. Thanks for reading my little story & hope you enjoy these shots, as I enjoyed every moment taking these pics & just watching Dime tear it up on guitar. Thanks...Gregg Maston

Didn't he? Dean was the guitar which he fell in love with. He endorsed Washburn partly because Dean went out of business...

What really makes him a Deaner is that he found what he liked and played it. The guitar that made him to sign a contract with Washburn was built for him after they knew exactly what he wanted from a guitar. Somehow that feels like Dean was his natural choice, he wanted to play one of them as they were, not as they were built for him specifically...

How I came across this I have no idea, but its MINE I tell you, ALL MINE!!

For those in the UK I found out today Metal Hammer magazine will have a Dimebag tribute CD in their next issue out december 16th, cant remember which bands have contributed apart from Machine Head who are covering frippin Hostile, Chimara who are covering Slaughtered and Evile who are covering Cemetery Gates (Mike Alexanders final contribution sadly). Just thought id let you guys know incase you didnt already, I dont usually buy Metal Hammer but my local was all out of Kerrang today so I had to buy it, quite glad I did now as im interested in checking this CD out.

Hey there Brothers!
It's been ages since I've logged in..
Hope all is well?

I've moved to Saudi Arabia lately.
Yeah.. I know It sounds insane but I got a pretty decent job offer here.. shakin' arab money!
I've hauled in my gear & will be indoors, ripping on guitar all the free time I have (as you all can imagine..) I've got a few questions for the HT owners though:



I love the Randall RGP1000 very much, so much that I want its babies!
I currently don't have a rack poweramp, and I could get some gear shipped to Saudi off eBay easier than before.


1- Would buying an RG100HT be a smart Idea? As I can slave it for the RGP when desired, or just use it alone when I wish to. I came up with the idea as it costs as much as a poweramp sold here in Riyadh or back in Turkey, and is actually a RG head itself in rack size..

2- The HT has a black, female power socket at the back just like the RGP does. I think its to power up another unit that works uptill 200 watts ?
So does this mean I can power up either amp from here, and just convert the powering unit's voltage to 220v?

Simplified; am I able the get the RGP preamp slaved by connecting the RGP out > HT fx loop return, also power up by connecting the RGP power cord > Socket on the HT's rear & only sending the HT's power cord to the 220v converter & then to the socket on the wall? Any ideas?

Here is some a s s pr0n of both racks..
Randall RGP1000 Rear
Randall RG100HT Rear


3- Do HT's overheat & cause a problem? We all wouldn't like amps that sizzle off or clip during playing?

4- Do the HT's racks have a static humming because everything is packed in a rack? I'm on about the power transformer.. does it hum with all the cables and stuff around it?

I've come across a few reviews which state these HT's may heat up & have a humming sound more audible than standard head amps. Is this true? I just wonder if it would be worth all the shipping & hastle again, because tonally the RGP definately was!


Thanks for your time all,
Hope you can help.

Happy holidays to everyone on the dime pages (you too projectx)

Anyone have any background on this vid ? , I understand it was shot in Germany.....

back to lurking, getcha pull off that video

Looking to get another Dean USA ML as I already have USA DFH #80.

I was wanting a wavy rebel flag Washburn stealth but I'll never be happy as I'd have to find a USA 3ST and then get it painted and it's looking to cost an absolute fortune to get a 3ST nevermind an airbrush job I'd be happy with.

I know the quality of the USA Deans given the DFH I have so would be more than happy with that.

The one I'd then go for would be the following:-



The questions I have are:-

1. Would it be do-able (e.g. do Dean take custom orders)?
2. Would they do the Confederate design easy enough (given the Rebel Razorback and Dixie Rebel)?
3. Would it cost an epic fucktonne or be reasonable enough?

Thanks

Dimebag Never Forgotten!

Carnage Nine

...at least I think warbird is the right name. Anyway, i played one at my local music store and I asked the guy what pickups were in the guitar and he didnt know. It has those chrome covered pickups. Do any of you know?

Well the I see Dimebag Darrell Tribute area is officially dead again with the removal of the BEST THREAD EVER! I came on and was thoroughly dissapointed when I realized the best thread ever was gone.

Does anyone know what guitar Dime owned that was a Neck Thru, Ed Roman sells it for 7,500 dollars, it says specificly "Dean ML Custom Made Rare Neck Thru".

It is the last listing on the first Chart, rigth before the Pete Townsend section.

Flipping through the pages of the new Guitar World again to reread some stuff, and I noticed an ML in a picture that I don't think I've ever seen before. Orangish flamed top, and it had 2 toggle switches, one in the normal upper horn position and then another where the bridge volume normally is. Any info on this geet? At work, so can't post up a scan, but it's in the picture of Dime sitting on the floor with the Trendkill and Slime, then this guitar is next to him.

I'll try to post a scan when I get home from work if no one knows what I'm talking about

I still have one of these sitting around..its blue vintage mint,, anyone lookin?

While I'm waiting (hoping) to get my X2 fixed i borrowed a Randall Warhead from a friend of mine.

I just tried to hook up my KFK 10 band EQ in the loop and noticed a massive volume increase when i turned it on even though I have the volume control set at 0 on the 10 band.

I couldn't turn the master volume on the Warhead higher than about 3 and 2 on the channel volume. Is this normal??

I was thinking maybe the amp should play louder on it's own?!!!

It is loud on its own but I just found it weird that it was so much louder with the 10 band in the loop.

hey dudes,when the new deans dimebag models came out for 2010 ???...

Check this out.. Was wondering if any body knew anything about this?

On the back of the case, Guilty is the first track.

There is this chick named Shayla Abbott claiming to be Dimebags Second Cousin, does anyone know anything about Dime having a second cousin by this name? I don't beleive her.

Sorry if it's been posted already in some other thread, but just found it on the bay:

Don't know if that's considered a good deal, but I'm sure you all will know (I'm assuming it's a good deal being a 2ST and the looks of the condition)

There are also a couple more washys on there, including a dimeslime and a dimebolt. Eh, just thought I would post lol.

FInally got my neck in that I snagged. A rarity indeed. Unfinished is definitely the word for this one. Lots of work is gonna haveto be put into this. Looks like they pulled it straight from the CNC before it was done. Regardless, this is one BADASS neck...and its symmetrical!!!

Hey Dimebag fans, I have a Randall RG200ES for sale. Go check out the trading forum for specifics and pics.

Hi guys, my name is Pat from 101%Pantera (UK Pantera Tribute Band)

Me & the guys would like to send out a massive thank you to all those who attended our Dimebag Memorial Shows across the UK this December, we truly had an amazing time & I can honestly say that we are left with some fantastic memories.

There is no doubt that you guys have shown how much you still care for Dimebag & that his memory is still very much alive & strong.

One of the things that inspired me personally was the amount of younger fans at each of the shows, guys & gals of 16yrs old absolutley loving every second of it, Dimebag is indeed smiling on you....& of course not to forget the older fans \m/

Also a special thank you to the bands who played with us, you all did it with great style & respect \m/

It was great to hook up with some old friends on the road & to hook up with some new ones also, we look forward to rocking out with you all again next year.

Thanks for the memories & here's wishing you & all the Dean Guitar members a Very Merry Xmas & a Prosperous New Year \m/ \m/

The great man himself would like to drink a toast in thanks to all of you.....

thnx

I was thinking about ditching the 100 for a 200 and I had a couple questions...

On the old 100 the dirty channel bleeds through to the clean channel, did they fix that?

Does the Century 200 have enough gain that I won't need to have a booster?

Does the sustain switch drop volume like the old 100?

Thanks, in advance, I figured Dime fans would be able to help me the most with questions about vintage Randalls.

Here it is! What a deal!

Obviously not a USA..., were many of these made (not according to this seller)? Were these quality imports?!?

Just curious, 'cause everytime I see a Blackjack pop up, it's a $2500.00 USA.
