Big props to Dime’s long time tech, Grady, for his memory and knowledge of dime’s tones and allowing his knowledge to be used to bring those tones back to life for the rest of the world to enjoy
@@wickedmajestic8100 Very true, I just pray they never replicate his fingers in plug-in format. My old lady would steal my hard drive and dump my sorry ass.
I think Dimebag would be thrilled and honored that a fan and fellow beast of a guitar player after all these years his riffs live and that they are still of legend and myth. Amazing once again Ola.
Dude, I got the chills hearing some of the riffs with his tone. I know Grady helped make this so it was gonna be legit. Still to this day the best guitar player I've ever seen.
Thanks! We have been modeling gear for many years and we also (as noted below by @kranktone ) worked very closely with Grady and the estate to make sure this was authentic as possible. Glad you like the job our audio geniuses did!
Hello, you did an incredible job with this Dimebag Plugin. May i give you an idea for another Addon? In all Amp-Modelling Devices and Plugins available today, nobody modesl the famous Tom Scholz Rockman/ Rockmodules. I'd love to have a VST which models this Rockman/ Rockmodule Sound. Please consider my ideas! Thank you
JSG1138 They went to the place where he was shot with a ghost busters back pack and trapped him in a USB drive, and then they distributed him in their plug in all over the world 🌎
Cemetery gates was the song that introduced me to squeals and what I played along with learning how to do them, ironically using a solid state Randall and a distortion pedal. I was a kid with a practice amp and a first act, learning to rock out. That was 12 years ago, and guitar is still my favorite hobby.
Dimebag... A new Ola video notification that has DIMEBAG and OFFICIAL and PLUGIN in it. Everyone is running for your channel, they’re fighting to get through the doors! Get prepared for the notification squad!
Poo Ninja just working in 3 degree Fahrenheit weather on night shift, and it’s getting colder lol It’ll be -40 F before I know it. Starting to get a good routine though for making songs 👍🏻
Poo Ninja I have a song lined up about the Ice Woman from Wisconsin. She froze solid, had no pulse, and was thawed in a hospital! She had permanent brain and nerve damage but she survived. Or one of those northern states. I think it’s Wisconsin
I have never heard a more accurate tone emulation in my life. A lot of these I can't tell the slightest difference. The clean tone not so much but goddamn. And this Dudes playing is spot fucking ON
I just dont like how scooped it sounds, I like something more akin to Eddie's tone off of vh 1, mids make a difference to me, and alot of other people, it's mostly just his cfh stuff I dont like, and it sounds alot better in a mix, but I dont record enough to have a guitar sit in a mix often.
I loved Dimebags tone. I lost my shit when he was killed. He was my ultimate guitar hero growing up. Thank you so much Ola for loving Dime so much! I have already purchased my Solar guitar, and having this in common makes me even more proud to be an owner of your amazing instrument!
This is the closest I've ever heard anyone not named Dimebag get to his album tone. I've watched plenty of people, including you, mess around with the actual amp and gear he used on the albums, and even that didn't get as close as this. The mix at the start of the video was spot on to the album sound. My jaw just dropped. Great job. If you blindfolded a Pantera fan, and played that intro clip to them, I'm convinced most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference and they'd think it was just an HQ Remaster of the original track. Jesus, so good.
What's so cool is that when the post-processing is turned off like you did at the end of the video, it sounds exactly what I remember the RG-100 randall amps sounding like back in the day when I use to play though one decades ago in a metal band. That brought back a lot of great memories.
That “The Sleep” solo is one of my favourites solos and you absolutely nailed the vibe of it! Let’s just see if you can do that ascending portion near the end of the solo ;)
Dimes harsh treble distortion was a great compliment to the thick bottom end of the bass and drums! All by itself, it sounds low-fi, but in the mix... it sits perfectly!!
And inside the metal pack, have 2 presets whos called "Gritallica 1" (probably based on Cliff's bass tone) and "Gritallica 2" based on Dave's guitar tone (1983-1991)
If you have Bias FX and Bias Amp, dmometalguitar on YT has a ton of videos on how he got old school metal tones, and I’ve gotta say that man is a genius with bionic hearing. He did Kill ‘Em All, Ride the Lightning, MOP, AJFA, the black album, Load/Reload, and they’re as close as can be.
Dude, I'm gonna say this and I don't care what anyone thinks.... When you played cemetary gates opening clean riff, it brought tears to my eyes... You are one bad ass player man...
When you opened up with Heresy I was convinced that it was the actual track. This is coming from someone who listened to CFH multiple times a day for like 2 years throughout middle school. You blew my mind with the tone and how precise you were able to pick like Dime. Great job!
Dimebag is my hero and u are one of the only ones who can come close to his style. Thank u for keeping him alive bro. We need to keep the spirits of the AWESOME still around. Thank u bro
Fuck I haven't enjoyed watching a video that much since long time. A tear almost came out on those cemetery solos. Not just great sound and great playing, but also very bonding to see how much fun Ola's having playing Dime's stuff.
That Cemetery Gates clean is killer, same with the dirt sound. Every time I hear that intro, I think about Dime being gone and it is sad. It's great that his legacy lives on because he was such an awesome guitarist. He was a funny dude as well, always into some type of debauchery. RIP Darrel.
@@OlaEnglund Hey dude! I didn't even realise you were aware of my existence! haha. Oh, I'm always lurking here and there :) I've been up to date with your Dime amp videos, good stuff! /,,/
I honestly never even consider purchasing anything demo'd by "anybody" regardless, but..between this, The Fortin products and your Solar Line..one finds it almost impossible not to! Cheers Ola!! I too miss them both. Metal is not quite the same without them.
kingdarko I dunno 🤷🏻♂️ if there’s a right or wrong- I’d say whatever is easier for the player. Same notes, same octave, it’s all good. I like to play it at 12 too, and the A power chord I ply with my middle and pinky on E 5th Fret instead of juggling the open A chord
Thank you Ola! Ive played for 12 years and i have been in a rut so long plus i broke my wrist and im sure will be limited the rest of my life (i can still play just not the same AT ALL) and seeing others share my passion for father dime is really cool. Ive never met in person anyone that loved dime as much as i do but now i know it could be you! Thanks for pushing me to improve
I just want to say that The sleep solo is the most brutal and beautiful solo ever recorded and I dont think it gets the recognition it deserves. Cheers from Brazil.
The best possible person to demo this. You fucking killed it. Dime's tone is iconic and his own. Not my particular favorite flavor, but if anyone was gonna put on this hat and rock the living shit out of it? It's got to be you. Most excellent video amigo. You fucking keep being awesome. The world needs more awesome. Cheers!!
Nice to see someone playing Cemetery Gates in the middle of the neck. The more you really dig into Dime's playing and his touch, you realize that most of his iconic riffs were right in the middle of that neck. 5th to 9th fret was Dime's home.
All things considered whenever you've done a Dimebag vid you've got pretty close to the tone. This on the other hand is a whole new level (see what I did there!). It is literally CFH and so long as you got the chops to play it right its as close as we will ever get to hearing the man play. Hell even at the end when you started playing Demons it was pretty nailed on. Would love to hear this in a full band cover with yourself, Leo and Delta...
Real amps are super cool obvs, but spending next to nothing in comparison for amazing sounding sims is a value that I personally believe cannot be oversold. The technology is AMAZING!
Hi, Ola! Thanks for another interesting gear-testing video! I should also give credit to the developers` team of IK multimedia for making this incredible tone suite replicating the sound of uncomparable Dimebag Darell! These tones are so authentic and well-sounding that this video has inspired me to buy these preset pack together with Amplitube 4 plugin and record some Pantera covers with these tones. R.I.P., Dimebag - you and your music will never be forgotten! \m/
I used to help out at a local music store, and i never forget that snake skin Stealth came into the shop, the exact same! I played it and it absolutely blew my mind, amazing guitar!
Back way before the reunion thing was real and it was a discussion, or hope of the fans, I remember telling people that it could only be Zakk simply because of their friendship. And someone said Ola Englund would be the best for the job. I had no idea who Ola was at the time but I have to say,,, you are really the best for that gig. You really know your Dimebag.
almost worth it just for the Gates clean. the problem with his tone is its so obvious its his because its unique (good or bad) so if you were using it you'd just sound like a Dime rip off. but that Gates clean could be used in any clean passage and it sounds amazing. I dig it
I bought this pack last year. It's so much fun to play with. The first time I played Domination with this pack, I said pretty much the same thing as Ola. Holy shit! That sounds amazing. They nailed Dime's sound.
Man, it doesn't matter how many years have passed, anytime I hear one of Dime's solos, it just overwhelms me with so many emotions. I still vividly remember that day I was given the horrible news. RIP DD
RIP DIME/VINNIE. Thanks for doing the CG solo justice. And for playing it. And for having the balls to step up and play it for the planet. That plugin is fucking insane. If it's FUN it doesn't have to be perfect. We're grooving and chugging hard on this end, never doubt. #terrans #ripabbottbros
