NAMM 2009 Blacktooth Amp Demo (Grady Champion)

[Sean2592]

Gotta say it's pretty fucking stupid using an amp with this much power and being half a step away from it I've got a pos crate amp and I have to be 3 or 4 good steps away and another 3 or 4 with my effects

[jclp81]

why does it always have to have an akward ass person doing the interviews

[alexisd3]

dont get why randall stop doing the stacks dime used

[Spinnygrass]

@alexisd3Randall went under some...changes (That's putting it mildly...).  Darrell didn't like this, and didn't like what was going on with the products. That is why.

[DimebagHetfield696]

has this amp been released yet? is it available in the UK?

[numbersabcdefg]

She so wanted to make out with him after playing the clean!

[Vernhicular]

Is it me or is that chick shot? What a horrible interviewer. Nice knobs though

[Abyssinian654]

@Vernhicular She's known as "Metal Sanaz". She's a bit of a metal reporter or something like that.

[lostwill86]

where can i get one??

[TheGuitargod1995]

how can i get this amp

[Hysteriskull]

It's already over

[jackiebo817]

@krija67 the official dean guitars website

[DevilintheMachine]

Ok, it's been how long? Where can I test this amp? Is it in stores?

[jackiebo817]

they only jus started selling the 20watt

check the website

[metalmusiqcrzy]

i bett anyone on here this amp will never come out it was due out in june09 why not say a year from this am i wondering if the backlash on the dime name is causing a delay people bitch cause they say dean is milking dimes name and legasy

[loverwolf1]

this is (metal) SANAZ, too. Dimebag -RIP- from Paris!

[winteersun]

Sounds like fucking shit to me.

[everybodylovesgav]

does anyone know when this amp is being released ?

[HAVy909]

sounds awesome and replicates dimes tone but thats it for anyone wanting there own tone go fish , this is also a solid state amp (as dime preffered) unless your in a tribute band then stear clear!

[Spinnygrass]

The amp is not limited to Dime's tone. The amp is in a nut shell a higher gain Randall RG100ES/HT. A lot of bands were getting wicked sounds out of them when they were around in the Glam days.

That's like saying if a play a Laney I'll only be able to sound like Tony Iommi, or if I use a JCM 2555, I'll only be able to sound like Slash!

[Spinnygrass]

Oops! ...like saying if I play a Laney... Lol, 4AM typing! No excuse! Back to school for me! Need some of them book learnins!

[HAVy909]

i do see your point , personaly im not into signature gear i can see the appeal , but this amp realy is too personal , for example the sound that is acheived is realy on the dot for dime but i cant see anyone being able to develop their own sound with out everytime they put the drive channel on the crowd thinking "RIP dimebag"

[sintobia612]

i want it

[rocknroll6665]

Can't wait!!!

[cannibalmonkey666]

when is it out

[ltldrmmrby2]

what website can i buy this at?

[Broodkill]

how muckh for just the head

[Spinnygrass]

$350 is the speculated price when released.

[Broodkill]

thanks i should have just read the description!

[bangkok2112]

dime used his warhead amps made by randall that was discontinued

[evergreenrocks]

whatever it is, im interested just coz Grady is involved. for $699 its either a shitbox or one hell of a DEAL!!!

that amp sounds like the monster himself..

[Spinnygrass]

Not TOTALLY correct. He did pretty much always have a tube amp of some sort for cleans. Carvin's, Fender's, amps like that.

[Spinnygrass]

No, a half stack $700. The full stack $1050.

[PrestoLangPlayer]

and for me! :D

[peterpetree]

who's the skunk/skank ?

[ultimateguitar553]

That amp is a joke, seriously.

Solid state is for beginners and practice

Not for REAL amps

If u want real, try Peavey 6505/5150 or a Mesa Boogie Recto

or hell any high gain with TUBES

[kkdav1]

stop pretending you know everything about amps.

dime used solid state all his life up until he started using krank shortly before he died.

[Hysteriskull]

@kkdav1 It was a natural progression from the junk that Washburn was making to honest to goodness rock and roll amplification. Dime was moving his tone forward.

[NinjaSmoke666]

@kkdav1 Indeed he did. I herd it from his mouth in a past video

[PrestoLangPlayer]

pathetic... stick a tube in your ass...

[kkdav1]

i use a peavey valveking with TUBES smart ass

[PrestoLangPlayer]

used it already, nothing special about it... smart ass...

[kkdav1]

if you mean the valveking then i totaly agree.

i was just trying to show that i preffer tube amps to solid state but dimebag did use solid state for over 14 years

[PrestoLangPlayer]

your choice man :P

[rockwizclown]

Dimebag used kranks though.

[Spinnygrass]

Darrell used Randall's since he was a teenager. The RG100ES, RG100HT, then Century 200, then back to the RG. Also collecting many other amps, and even having some cool prototypes. Also he used some different tube amps for cleans. He even had a signature amp the Warhead, and Warhead X2. When DP started he had a bunch of gear. Amps like Titans, and stuff. I can't remember what the album was done with.

He didn't use Kranks until close to the end after they sent him one to play with.

[davo664]

Yeah thats true, although he did use the Krank Revolution a lot with DP

[Spinnygrass]

That is what I said, if you want to get technical, he had modified Revs. "Hot rodding the hot rod" as he said. Those mods later became the Krankenstein.

Using the Krank "a lot," was because at that point he was endorsed. The album was done with Randall's though!

[bandsfrompoland]

tits!

[stratlover37]

still love my original randall warhead.212.

[jsrockguitar]

On all the other vidoes of this people are saying that Dean is kind of rapeing Dimes legacy by doin this amp. I kind of agree with them to a point,, but you would think that people would view this as chance to get an awesome piece of gear. The Randall RG100 was awesome, this is basicly an RG100 with a different name. I know that im gonna get one. And you would think that people would be excited to see this piece of gear back on the market for a decent price.

[Electroz89]

HAHA agreed

[fenderstrat6485]

but why did dean build it? wouldnt they get, like, randall or krank to do it?

[Spinnygrass]

Krank doesn't make this style of amp, and Randall doesn't seem to be playing up that game anymore. In more recent years they did have amps like the Cyclone, Titan, Warhead, Warhead X2, and a couple others you can get, that will voice similar to the RG's, and Century.. I want a Cyclone myself. Its pretty much a Warhead, but easier to find, and doesn't have the jacked up price.

[Hysteriskull]

@fenderstrat6485 because Krank doesn't build cheap Chinese amps.

[fenderstrat6485]

@Hysteriskull Solid.

[deaddollcrow]

@fenderstrat6485 i say be happy dean made it if krank or randall did it would be atleast a grand more

[zilch1823]

@fenderstrat6485 Krank already has a Dime amp, and I don't think Randall could legally manufacture it...

[fenderstrat6485]

@zilch1823 true that, pay the extra $ and get a krankenstein

[JGBEK]

is it tube or solid,

i wonder why krank isnt suing not that i want them to just curious

[Spinnygrass]

It is SS. Its a "hot-rodded RG100ES." The original amp Darrell used before going to the Century. Well, it was a RG100HT, but same thing...

[TheMetalerEricM]

it sounds good, but i'd personally need to tweak the eq on it. cleans sounded a tad gritty.

[fenderstrat6485]

pretty cool amp. can't wait to try it

[evo311]

The original designer was Gary Sunda who designed all the most popular Randall amps including the RG80, RG100, etc. Dean hired him to design this new Dime amp.

[startrekreview]

Well, it's hard to nail "dime's" tone. Seriously, he had several. The "Dean" amp sounds fine and close to his overall sound. It's a fine amp but for me, when I think of "Dime's" sound I think Randall amps and Washburn guitars like he had played during FBD, GSTK, and the last Pantera album and the live one. At the end, he played Krank amps and dean guitars. The amp sounds fine, but I jus think they are capitalizing on Dime's name.

[jsrockguitar]

He used Dean before he used Washburn.

[shanewesleygtr]

Looks like a fun amp for the price. maybe a good backup or something to play around with in the studio.

he's totally playing "a new level" wrong at 2:00... cmon bro get it right!!!!

[rocklikebrucelee]

not even his most faithful guitar tech? I think Grady would want to do some justice to his lost friend. I don't think he'd make some crap and put Dime's name on it like the Dean company is.

[JonDoreFTW]

sanaz must be drunk.

[Spinnygrass]

Dirty Sanchez? Nah, shes just stupid.

[longwayhome617]

lol hopefully that's not the real sound :P they're pretty far off if it is rofl

[rocklikebrucelee]

Of course it's not. It's just the video quality. You gotta trust the guy who set up dime's rig for years! :D

[dcdossett65]

This sounds like shit. I know it the camera though.

[pyschokiller66]

i want it

[minidavb]

its a Randall just produced by Dean

Grady says its a hotrodded RG100 or Century 200

[guitar333]

I watched him do the demo and i can say its pretty legit, priced right too. Sounded better than in this video. It wouldn't be my main rig but It'd be fun to have as a second amp.

[dimebagcfh]

i dont see why they just didnt bring back the X2 thats dime tone in a box

[dimebagcfh]

im thinking of getting one of these but im skeptical about it
