MXR Dime Distortion

When Dimebag Darrell of Pantera first exploded on the scene, he ushered in a new era of tone and attitude. When it comes to guitar, Dime doesn't need a "warm" or "pretty" sound. He can't be bothered with "vintage" this or "boutique" that.

He wants a heavy, aggressive, razor-sharp tone that can slice through a loud band and a louder crowd. It's a tone that rages with distortion but remains tight and focused enough to keep up with lightening-fast rhythm lines and face-melting solos.

Finally there's a pedal that can deliver all that: the The Dime® Distortion from MXR. With its 3-band EQ, proprietary Scoop switch, and ungodly output, this stomp box from Hell has the guts and the muscle to stand up to your heaviest displays of power. Crank the gain, boost the lows and highs, and hit the Scoop switch for a rhythm tone that will annihilate.

Dial the mids back in and mow down the competition with a lead sound that can penetrate steel. If it still hasn't gotten heavy enough for you, stick the Dime in front of a distorted amp and experience sustain and sonic mayhem thats so over the top it should come with a warning label.

The Dime® Distortion—not subtle, not pretty. Power: Two 9-volt batteries, or Dunlop ECB-004 18-volt AC Adapter (included)

Wonder what you'd get if you use the Dime in conjunction with the Zakk Overdrive LOL.

[pedaltoneshop]

@killyourtyrant ... hmm i wonder :D

[PhiyukYu]

i have A JCM DSL, if I put this in front of a dead clean channel would I be able to use this for what it was intended for? if not, what then?

[pedaltoneshop]

@PhiyukYu We used this pedal straight into a JCM TSL on the clean channel.

[JasonElGato]

Not bad, but doesn't sound anything like Dimebag to me.

[MrRandy1971]

What are you playing out of? A BOOM BOX GEEZ???

[FontenelleTerry]

@pedaltoneshop does anyone know because im debating on getting both lol

[btbamizdabest95]

If you want dimes tone get something he designed not something like this that was designed in his name.

[meccaman]

or the gain is cranked..... well the high then hahah

[meccaman]

fuckin crank the high n the gain..... u call this a dime pedal n its not even set to how dime would use it

[technoguyx]

@ArcanineBucK Any noise gate will do the job, really, but like jesman said the ISP Decimator is a great, yet expensive gate - it's pretty transparent.

[jesman8]

@ArcanineBucK Then get an ISP Decimator .. I have a Blackstar HT-Blackfire which is an incredible incredible ammount of gain and its a great pedal so I invested in a noise reducer rather than ditching the pedal

[ArcanineBucK]

@ArcanineBucK I dunno, I don't trust behringer...

[Babyface6200]

@ArcanineBucK get a behringer noise reducer. it make the amp clean and it only cost $25. it only sold on the internet though
