Re: Dimebag sound question
The mid to late 80's Randall RG100ES does have a high amount of midrange and high end. With no outboard processing you would still need to scoop the mids to get Dime's tone. With outboard EQ'ing the best way to get it was to run the midrange on the amp on 5, the treble on 7, the bass on 10 and run an outboard EQ with a soft C shape.For guitar solos he would switch to another EQ which boosted both the volume and the EQ's midrange to a little more than a flat setting.
The RG100ES had a pull boost and a pull high. The pull boost IMHO was not very useable. The amp sounded much better without the boost or the high boost engaged and with the gain "Dime'd" out.
