Guitar Rigs of the Gods, Part
1. Dimebag Darrel is a Heavy Metal shredder who makes no apologies for his over-the-top
solid state distortion sound. First: His sound begins with a Washburn “V” guitar,
loaded with 2 L500XL Humbuckers. Then, he runs into a Digitech Whammy pedal, followed
by a Dunlop CryBaby. (Note: both pedals are never on at the same time.) Then,
he runs into a series of three stomp-boxes, a Boss PS-3 (pitch shifter), a Boss
DS-2, and an MXR Graphic EQ (sat in a “V” shape. From there, he runs into a rack
mounted system, containing a Furman PQ-3 (parametric EQ), an MXR Flanger/Doubler,
and finally, a Rocktron Guitar Silencer (noise gate). His rig terminates with
a Random Century 200, on which the gain is rarely set to anything but 10. Argh!
Metal…Good. |
