NERDIEST DIME VIDEO EVER - MXR 6-band EQ Comparison (Dimebag tone chasing) 

Wanna save some money? Check out this video before you go on Dimebag gear hunting...

Those tone chase videos are pure gold for Dimebag fans.

I can actually explain why the Silver one is louder, it's because of the low noise floor. The blue and black MXR eq pedals were notorious for their noise and hiss, so a low noise mod, known as the "Silent Night" mod became popular, as not only would the noise be reduced, but the pedal would actually become more efficient and have more output. The silver MXR eqs, both the 6 band and 10 band (I have the 10 band) are the modern design which has the low noise floor as standard, along with True Bypass. That's why the Silver EQ is louder and frankly better.

Absolutely love this and have the deepest respects for you. I've been watching your videos for about two year's now and following your tones on dime. Hopefully you read this and keep inspiring youth and other generations to come in music man keep up your great work.

Thank you so much I’ve been waiting for so long to see someone actually give a good comparison of the two

I can't go to school because of the storm so I'm here watching Ola

I love you're doing this kind of stuff, it's amazing. Keep the good work up, Ola! You're the best.

Vinnie La Bella (Exhorder) told me when I was hanging out with him after a concert that Dime, and him were friends back in the day, and he told Dime how to set his EQ with the Smile/Frown settings. He also told me he felt bad for not making up with Dime before he was killed. He told me that they grew distant through the 90's, due to reasons, etc. Anyway... Just thought it was cool what he told me. He even told me how to set the EQ, and the history behind it, etc. He basically told me the Exhorder guitar EQ settings. It was quite the experience. In the video I noticed that the 800 isn't maxed out. If I heard right Vinnie told me it's to be maxed out, and then frown from there. I honestly can't remember much beyond that. That's if I even heard that right. I'll ask him if I get a hold of him. Marzi Montazeri (Exhorder) told me about a cool Solar guitar he's getting here in about a month roughly(?); he used two during the concert I was at. He even showed me the picture of it on his phone. All I'll say is it's white without the usual Solar logo. Good stuff. The venue locked him out on accident, and I went through it to open the door for him not knowing who is was at the time. Funny how things work out sometimes. I also got a special stage dropped guitar pick. From what Vinnie told me, Marzi hasn't dropped a pick since he was 16. A picture I took at the concert of Marzi, and his Solar Guitar (Kataklysm Meditations Tour): scontent-ort2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/70409005_2394614510575500_8913861596694970368_o.jpg?_nc_cat=102&_nc_oc=AQkdrK8YIVkfLMXZoUK_Oq8kP-m8t-YxchFYMGD0l3iidBChaK8nQxF21p8cEtNIIdY&_nc_ht=scontent-ort2-1.xx&oh=98256b2bcf5cfdf0eb3fcc5b9f958946&oe=5E136B9E

Ola!!! Dude your Dime tones are legit, that's so badass. Best RU-vid channel period!! \m/

The silver 6 band is a game changer especially as a global eq in the fx loop of solid state amps... once dialed in u cannot imagine ever not using it lol

I was looking for this kind of videos for long time... Thank you very much!!! 次の動画も楽しみにしております。

Dude, the new background is really great! Some great tones here too, keep it up Ola!

Love it!! I really didn't expect you to come with this hauahauahua ♥

Love these nerdy videos Ola. Please make more Dime vids like this using this setup!

Great video. Loved the eq comparison on the computer. So nerdy and so awesome.

I love seeing demos where it proves that tones from old or overpriced pedals can be achieved with cheaper, modern alternatives. It's informative, saves money & it pisses off the purists! Perfect! LOL

Wow Ola, next level video. Thank you for sharing your results, and making it clear to those of us who aren’t super techy.

These videos are pure gold 👌 not that I’ll ever really buy any of the equipment you test but it’s really interesting and great watching you test it. Keep it up Ola 😎

Man!!! you are awesome, is so inspiring and energetic to see your videos!! thank you very much!!! cheers from Chile!!!

Nothing can be worthless when it comes to Dimebag. I really appreciate your humor, Ola. Keep ém coming! 🤘🏻

Thanks Ola, absolute legend. I bought one of the MXR silver EQ pedals a few weeks ago still playing around with settings but I love it. Cheers legend!

"What's up, Ola Englund here today we're gonna equalise some equalisers, to see if all equalisers are created equally."

Nice Job Ola! I've already lost a few nights of sleep thinking about this issue of mxr equilizadores, this it public service!

This is my favorite Ola video... You frickin rock dude.

I just witnessed the best video on RU-vid. No, Ola sir your not the only one who enjoys geeking out in this manner. I have a closet full of pedals I shoot out constantly. Now if I could only find a video "shooting out" the latest in high impedance speaker cables my life would be complete! CHUG LIFE!

I like short nerd videos like you did, thx. It's really kind of you to take some time and make this out for us. Thumbs up !

Ola, please keep making videos like this. I'm not a great guitarist, but I love guitar gear. A trend in videos, something like like "V1 vs Modern" versions of pedals, would be golden.

Thank you so much! I was looking for a good video demoing the 6 band EQ and this is exactly what I wanted to hear.

Awesome video, I’ve had this question in my head for years. The “DIME” line of amps that Grady Champion collaborated on are awesome, they were pretty cheap originally too. I found one used and it sounds better than any heavy tone amp I’ve ever played, including the Warhead 2x12 combo I had. If you’re a Dime tone chaser you need to get that amp!!

Killer tone! Can we expect a full Pantera cover of some sort with that nice guitar and gear anytime soon? :D

Needed this video. Thank you. Shopping for EQ and need this kind of comparison.

Great vid as usual Ola. BWT just preordered your solo album! Keep up the good work! Oh, and got a t-shirt too ;)

Great vid ola..always a pleasure

Hey ola, just want to say this. Except for the demo, what i really liked about this video were the lights! Your ability on making videos is amazing now.

Great video Ola that tone sounded mint! Keep up the vids bro I look forward all week for your vids to come out. (Burp-Clap!)

Just got my 6 band EQ in the mail today, and then Ola posts this...Ola is watching over me

Ola back at it again with the never ending dime tone 👌 love it

Amazing vid, actually very useful. It's nice to learn something new about dimebag's tone

dude i totally agree about the gear nerding. I would see this type of comparison for new and old versions of other pedals. things like an old MIJ BOSS SD-1 vs a current model. I really appreciate the extra mile you went using a visual graph to show frequency and Db differences. awesome video.

No sir, we stay till the very end because all the riffs are so killer and played so well. Love your videos man.

Excellent honest test. I appreciate stuff like this.

That was cool. Love your dedication

Dude this test was awesome. Thanks for doing it!!!

Best EQ comparison vid on here. Well, in my worthless opinion anyway. I like your presentation better than most, too. Keep the vids with your unique presentations coming. Informative & entertaining!

Hey Ola, I'm sure that the most people (me included) who follows you from the beginning loves the nerdy shit and videos like this, also this kind of content generate more topics for your FAQs so thank you very much for share this priceless content. Cheers from Venezuela.

We need more of these Videos Ola!

Brings back memories of owning that guitar in the 90's and the Digitech Whammy. Pure nostalgia

I care too! Thanks Ola! Please more Dimebag. I'm subscribed and belled for multiple reasons. But have to say I really appreciate your appreciation for Dimebag. Living in Austin I was a Pantera fan and saw them Everytime they played here since 90.

Your dimebag videos are simply the best thing on youtube.

Great video Ola !!

That has to be the most "complete" dimebag gear test ever! Ola, you should try that reamp test on the HM2 and that Behringer hm300

Great comparison. More vids similar to this would be awesome! Sort of a "dispel the myth" kind of vibe.

I thought it was a great vid Ola! 🤘🤘🤘. Nerding out with Ola. I checked in the silver eq and used the are going for $50-$60 in the US

Thanks Ola, love your content. I went ahead and bought a new silver version, used to own the old blue one. Still have my old PQ3 and RG100ES.

I love watching your videos! 😊 Great comparison! 🤘💪

EQ pedals can make such a huge upgrade to a distorted sound. Great test man 👍

I love this kind of videos, you are so awesome

Thanks for doing this Ola! I always wondered if the new silver one was close to the original.. it sounds damn near identical! 🤘🏼

You know what? I really like this nerdy Ola! More please!

You have to find the early In-Flames sound Ola. Please do, you have more stuff than I do. Please.

this was awesome, thanks ola. could you do a demo of the mxr flanger doubler? keep up the good work.

Love it! Not enough demos refer to the frequency curves!

Love the gear nerdery!!! Keep it up OLO? OLA!

I love you ola you're amazing and such a inspiration to me. Have a amazing day

This is awesome. I’m full swing in a Pantera kick right now. Just found a Dime patch on Bias and I’m so in love with it. Had to take a break and watch this, then I’m gonna go after some more riffage

Very good!! I like this kind of videos!

Really nice. Good to know this information. Awesome! Thank you alot man.

its the small things like this that make this channel killer!

Outstanding video!

My Silver version arrived and IT WORKS GREAT! I did replicate Ola's settings here and it's a great place to start. I'm not exactly a metal player, but this EQ box does act as an effective CLEAN/ TRANSPARENT BOOST to your amp and really opens the tone up. Put it as the first in your chain.

Hola Ola, I can't tell you how much I love this let the guitar nerdery continue!

Great video as always!

I have very little intrest on Dimebags tone, but You, sir, going through all this for shit and giggles makes me a proud follower of yours. Keep up the good work!!

You should spell your name Hola!!!! You rock dude. You’re very entertaining. I love it.

Great video ! Thanks for doing the extra mile for this comparison.

really good video. Keep nerding! Well made!

Nerded out so hard on this one. I need more videos like this.

We appreciate all your nerdiness!🤘

This might be your best video.. good job!!

This is actually a great idea for videos! Would be fun to see the real difference on other gear also, like Soldano vs Jet City amps or real amps vs modeler and so on.

love it love dimebag im gonna have my first black tooth grin when i finish school in june i will force my friends to knock it back it too (it aint candy)

Thanks for making this video......I'm in the market for a MXR 6 band EQ and was wondering if there was much of a difference...….now I know, thanks man.

Hi Ola. Excellent video, very useful ! Could you make some a complete video about reamping please ? But very complete... How to plug each wire, which sound card, how to connect the amp... It would be amazing... 😊👌👍

Yes! Moore nerdy Ola videos!!

Enjoyed this! I love your Dime Rig.

I still have & use my same MXR 6 band eq I bought used in 1982. Its awesome

Home recording tips no.2 Abseloutly love your vids by the way 😍

Ola, this kind of videos are as close to gold as we can get. Keep being a nerd. Guitar nerds of the internet are counting on you. Btw., what do you think about Polish Black Metal bands Mgła?

Thats good to see if the gear has changed for the better or worse (i.e. Tube screamers, metal zone, waza mod, etc.). I play in a Pantera cover band (Trendkill Revolution) but unfortunately I have not invested in the old style rig cause of costs and hunting for the gear. Maybe I can profile a patch at some point when I get a Kemper. BTW, it was cool meeting and trying out your gear at NAMM. Cheers.

Damn! That is some nostalgic stuff man! I knew abott since the days that he was called diamond darrell.and his demonic finger stretch lessons helped me a lot. Those fu*&&/ demonic finger stretch exercises were a real murder on me but it really helped me a lot! fu"+. Remembering diamond darrell made me sad that he's gone. I'm gonna drink a bottle of whiskey and play cemetery gates. Hell yeah!

This kind of test with an SM58 from the 70s or 80s and with a newer model would be cool to see, there are already plenty out there for the SM57. A/B tests are always a good watch, even if someone says it's an invalid test, the proof is in the pudding

I have the 10 MXR eq and its one of my favorite pedals next to the Fortin Zuul. Everything else in my rig changes but those two stay.

Nice video, thanks Ola 🤘🏻

I like the side by side comparison at the end! I just wish we could have heard it with distortion in side by side comparison. I just find it hard to try and remember what the other tone line sounded prior to switching pedals but when he was playing I think I liked the first one more!

Dude, you did a great job comparing them. The silver one sounded a bit louder but the tone was the same to me. I would get the silver one to save the headache.

Thank you so much for this. Lots of money saved. Actually in the process of dime distortion so it will be nice to have this.

I like these videos about guitar, amps, effects and tones...

You completely took ANY guess work out of that part! Totally cool man.

I'm pretty sure even with 2 blue units (or 2 silver units) the difference would be equal to this one... In each pedal of the same model you can't test each resistors, each capacitors or even each switch and wires resistances, especially with mass production, so you are pretty sure to have a little audible difference!

At the end Ola really really sounded like Skwisgaar Skwigelf. Nearly spat out my coffee. Good video man. Getch'a Pull!
