Damn they really nailed his tone with that thing.

That said, I don't like it.

I always thought Dimebag had one of the worst guitar tones I'd ever heard personally....

Wow! I can understand that it may not be everyones cup of tea, but one of the worst tones ever? That is a big call!

Being into metal (and especially guitar tones) worst tone ever would imply, no balls, unbearable, fizzy as a badgers badger, not fiting into the mix etc...........
I think it is far from all those. Its not my favourite sound but I never could say its one of the worst Ive heard

 

[STINNETT]

Jesus Christ, as if they weren't already cashing in on his name enough.......

^^ Selling the guitars is one thing, but that can be seen as ok. Making an amp though... thats just beyond a joke to me- as it has nothing to do with him at all.

 

[Metaltastic]

Well it was designed with help from Dime's tech, but I still agree it's despicable milking of the Dimebag cash-cow...

 

[Joematthews]

Agreed, when I saw this thread I knew I'd be pissed off.

I wonder how this amp compares to Dimebag's actual Randall rig with all the pedals in front and EQ in the loop etc that he used to use...

Maybe for this'll be just the ticket for those out there who are searcing for something close Dime's tone without having to wait for all the bits of the puzzle to pop up on Ebay

Sounds pretty nice in that video clip but yes, 'tis a bit of a cash in!

As though 33 signature guitars wasn't enough.

 

[beyond dead]

This. Dean should be ashamed of themselves.

 

[Cyanide_Anima]

33 signature guitars? For fuck's sake.

 

[kev]

fuck, 33. Thats mad! Jimmy hendrix doesnt even have 1 these days does he? lol

 

[Kazrog]

33 signature guitars? For fuck's sake.

Not just guitars - also basses and 7 string guitars. Some of the guitars come loaded with EMGs, such as the 7 strings - cool, but obviously not at all what Dime ever used.

It seems like the Hendrix, Cobain, Morrison, Lennon, etc. legacies have been protected from this kind of overt, bloated commercialism (for the most part.) I've never seen anything quite like the chaos of the Dime merchandising, and I don't think it's unusual to feel skeptical about it, especially when you consider how poorly/cheaply made the majority of these products are.

The problem with flooding the market with this much product is that it creates confusion, and distracts from the very legacy it is trying to honor.

Don't see the point in the amount of Razorback variations, from those 33, 25 of them will be Razorbacks with a different finish.

massive +1

brilliant player but his tone stank of shit.

 

[AudioPhile777]

thats definitely his tone... while i wouldn't personally strive for that sound, I dont think it sounds bad at all...

 

[Joematthews]

I actually boycot dean for the very reason that they are exploiting dime's legacy. It's riddiculous and so obvious that its shameless.

Fuck it, I want to test it.

I agree with all of you, but anyway...
