He loved Eddie's tone but specifically didn't try to emulate it. He set out to find his own.
Here's the video of his visit to the Krank factory, after he'd switched to their (TUBE) amps.
As he says here "Roll with it or get rolled the fuck over."
Wow, nice admission "I've always been a solid-state kinda guy" up to "so I said to the old lady 'call up Krank and see if they'll shoot an amp over for me to look over' ."
Oh also "I'd never been a tube amp guy cuz I thought that was all ACDC to the lower gain ZZ Top kinda stuff. I didn't think you could get this kinda gain without it being solidstate."
Yeah Dime paid so much to VH's brown sound he didn't know what was up with his amps, even though he apparently knew EVH and knew Ed plays Marshalls and his own signature TUBE amps.
The only reason he went with Krank that year was for free swag. Marshall woudln't touch him because Pantera was done and he knew they'd ask "what band are you doing now?" because the answer would be "well my brother and i are doing a Pantera tribute band touring bars in Texas where I'm probably gonna get shot by some depressed, crazy loon fan inside of a year from now."
Dime had his own tone.....and chops for miles....2 qualities the vast majority of guitarist would kill for....
A bunch of major label releases...and 4 indie records.....
not bad for a skinny kid from Pantego......
I dig the 'ol "Brown Sound" too....but that was 30+ YEARS AGO......
Peeps need to strive to find their own identity...rather than being a clone of a guy who's best work was during the Reagan administration.....
DIME's influence is all over modern metal...and will be for years to come
Exactly.
Anyone who is, has been or ever really was a true "guitarist" that doubts that or attempts to dispute that fact completely has their head up their ass, sorry. Not an opinion, a statement of fact to anyone with a functional brain and set of ears. Might not be the style or tone everyone appreciates, but you can't dispute his abilities, or accomplishments.
In fact, the entire troll theme here is summed up in his own idiotic post.

Originally posted by eddie78 I was wrong about you, brother. You're good.
When you are laying in a KISS casket and Eddie Van Halen himself lays one of his most famous guitars inside with you at your funeral, that's some heavy shit. All I can say is Gar would actually have a real guitar if he dug up Dime.
oh for fuck sake..don't go giving him any crazy ideas, dammit!

What we have here as usual is another "consensus opinion" (shared by all the real guitarists that post here) and one bitter, jealous, sucked-so-bad-he-quit playing years ago hater's dissenting opinion. Which doesn't count.
Dimebag rocked.
i concur.

hey, i may do my posting from a library, but at least i am still going out and performing as often as i can afford to do shows.....
let's not kid ourselves, putting on a show costs quite a bit of money.
pay to play system is a bitch, but it's all there is in my neck of the woods..............better than nothing, at least i get to play a live show now and again.
also, i've made 4 records of my own, and each has a totally different guitar sound and tone, as i have done experiementing with different guitars, eq settings, pedals, effects, different amps and amp presets, pre-amps.....i've tried several different configurations and set-ups over the years
looking for my sound, and i still have not found one i am completely in love with that i am ready to make my own for all eternity.......more tinkering is sure to come........it never bloody ends......tone chasing is an eternal never ending quest...........

Unless you're Jay - he hasn't bought a pack of new strings in 6 years and his golden-age Boogie amps' out of spec but couldn't be happier.
if he has found his sound and tone that works for him, then more power to him.
gar, there is nothing wrong with actually achieving the goal of finally finding the sound that suits you.
my whole point was, that as far as i am concerned, on my cd's, live, etc..., i have not found my tone and sound just yet.
not one i'm totally happy with anyway.
if jhale has figured it out for himself, then more fucking power to him.
i'm happy for him and i salute him.
it's not an easy task and it takes a long fucking time.
most guitarists never find their signature sound.
i'm still looking for mine.
i've come fairly close a couple times, but it still wasn't quite right.
if jhale has gotten it right and is happy with his sound, good for him and i'm happy for him.
however, if you haven't yet found your sound, then i urge you to not give up and to continue the search.
it is a very elusive search..........like the pevensi kids hunting the white stag.........
