Things Pantera's Dimebag Darrell (R.I.P.) wanted from his passive humbucker pickups

Message Bookmarked

Not many high-output passive humbucker pickups are capable of the massive metal tone of Dimebag Darrell. Dime wanted it all: beef, crunch, edge, and balls, with biting treble and punchy bass, but an overall smoothness. This was his bridge and neck setup.

Dimebag, in the studio, sits at a mixing desk, half-glasses on, fingers tented in front of him: "I like these sounds but I feel like the guitar tone could have some more Balls"

Engineer, older English man in a white dress shirt: "What if we dialed back the Beef & Crunch while boosting the Overall Smoothness?"

Playback speaker: *sound of a soda can being crumpled*

Dimebag: "Yes, exactly!"

I'm singing "beef and crunch and edge and balls" to the tune of "Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll."

Beef and Crunch and Edge and Balls sounds like a lost Oil and Gold-era Shriekback song title

You get that warm tone with the distortion mixed in and it has the low end that’s kicking you in the butt while the top end is cutting your face off in the right way, but not ripping your face off.

“We just gave him two of our standard pickups and told him to go fuck himself.”

And when he found out he cut our faces off. But in the right way.

"They got those guitar tones translated onto vinyl first. You know, vinyl and tape. They got that crunch. It was so powerful to hear that chunk. The history of that chunk, I can look back and Randy Rhodes had his own little sound, absolutely that was great." -Phil Anselmo on metallica. Phil is a problematic figure to put it lightly but he's right about the crunch
