Dime bag's setup

[collisster]

Can people help me finding dime's setup? and how get gets that awsome sound? it sounds almost wah-e but its so crisp

Er...Not much, these days :/

But joking aside, the most cursory of Google searches (surely you've done that already?) for 'dimebag gear' results in:

Check out the following review as well: http://krankamps.com/news/images/Krank_Review.pdf

A bit pricey maybe, as an alternative you could check out the Boss MT-2 Metal Zone pedal - I used to use one and it will give you some serious solid-state distortion I know people diss it but it is good for the sort of sound you're after.

I have a randall RH100G2 amp I think my sounds are pretty close, I would like settings tho

What guitar are you using and with what pickups?

 

[collisster]

its a peavey predator plus with floyd rose, just the stock pickups

You may want to consider swapping out the pickups at some point, it should be easy to put in some high gain pickups like the SD Dimebucker ..? Reading over on Harmony Central it does seem people are impressed with the RH100G2, but you might need to stick a little overdrive/booster before the amp to push it that little bit more and give it some more highs - if your stock pickups aren't that powerful they won't push the amp that much and they are probably also a little muddy.

Easiest thing would be to see if a mate has an od/booster pedal you could try to stick in front of your amp, using it just to slightly boost vol/gain/highs in your signal before it hits the amp - if that helps you know what you need to do

I'd say the most famous (modernish).
Anyone who's a bit metal will have heard of him.

 

[Kelpie]

I would back up the most famous claim.

Got a plectrum of his from their 'vulgar display of power tour' when they played at the Glasgow barrowlands.
