Dean Dime Amplification D100 head review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Dean Dime Amplification D100 Head is a powerful solid-state amp that delivers loud, clean tones and layered distortion. While it captures aspects of Dimebag Darrell's iconic sound, the lack of extreme gain might leave some metal enthusiasts wanting more. Priced alongside other feature-rich solid-state options, it may not provide the best value for those seeking versatility and built-in effects. Ideal for Dimebag completists, but others should audition before committing.

Nothing Special. Worst drive I've ever heard.

The amplifier is good in your clean channel, despite its equalization be low, it provides a good response frequency. But his distortion channel is very annoying, has bee more noise than a marshall, and has no punch. I use a pedal MesaBoogie and my amplifier in clean, so the sound sounds perfect as the triple rectfier!

The secret to Bass’ tonal setup is his usage of the solid-state Dime guitar head that he uses as a stompbox (with the switcher on his pedalboard) for overdrive and distortion tones because he grew tired of bass overdrive and dirt pedals adding gain but killing his low-end thump.
