I'm in need of a little help crafting the Dimebag tone from CFH. I've done Tone Matching which gets me very close, but I think I'm missing some key things:
(please bear with me, I'm no Dimebag expert by any means...)
1. I've read about the use of a PEQ and a GEQ in the signal chain. Can someone provide some guidance as to placement and (dare I say) settings for these blocks? I read the post by eljodon above about EQ's That's some good info. That's the kind of stuff I'm looking for.
2. Which amp to use? I've tried the FAS Modern and it just feels like too much gain even with the input drive set low. It just feels to compressed. Maybe a different amp would be better? Something with a little more growl/separation like Recto Red?
3. A big part of Dime's sound was the doubler. I found another thread where they simulate a double tracked guitar. I'll probably end up using some of those tricks in my final preset.
4. Flanger block? Sure sounds like he used a flanger during the intro to CFH.
5. Tone Matching- I'm quite new to this, but even with my limited experience I was able to get decent results... however... It seems to me that I should be able to achieve this tone without the use of TMA.
6. What about solo tone? The CFH solo tone definitely has delay on it. Maybe some mid boost to make it cut? The tone sounds a lot like Randy Rhoads to me.
Anyway- just looking for some solid tonal advice from the experts. I've scoured the web and have found conflicting information.
I promise to share the preset when all is said & done!
