MXR DD-11 DIME DISTORTION.
When Dimebag Darrell of Pantera first exploded on the scene, he ushered
in a new era of tone and attitude. When it comes to guitar, Dime
doesn't need a "warm" or "pretty" sound. He can't be bothered with
"vintage" this or "boutique" that. He wants a heavy, aggressive,
razor-sharp tone that can slice through a loud band and a louder crowd.
It's a tone that rages with distortion but remains tight and focused
enough to keep up with lightening-fast rhythm lines and face-melting
solos.
Finally there's a pedal that can deliver all that, the The Dime
Distortion from MXR. With its 3-band EQ, proprietary Scoop switch, and
ungodly output, this stomp box from Hell has the guts and the muscle to
stand up to your heaviest displays of power. Crank the gain, boost the
lows and highs, and hit the Scoop switch for a rhythm tone that will
annihilate. Dial the mids back in and mow down the competition with a
lead sound that can penetrate steel. If it still hasn't gotten heavy
enough for you, stick the Dime in front of a distorted amp and
experience sustain and sonic mayhem that�s so over the top it should
come with a warning label. The Dime Distortion, not subtle, not pretty.

I mostly play shred, so this one is an arguable choice.
Notwithstanding, I do experiment a LOT with tones and colors, so this
pedal always come handy. No loves or hates in particular, I will just state that this pedal is
an interesting addition to anybody in the market for intense
distortion. You might want to have some other pedals, but this sounds
with a strong character and you'll find room for it in years to come.

- Can you get the sound of your favorite artists? Who are they?
- Are certain effects (distortion, chorus, ...) very good? Very bad?
- What setup (i.e. what guitars and amps) are you using this with?
- Is it noisy? On what settings?
- Are the effects weak or do they always sound great?
- What amp are you using it with?
This pedal
has the most raw sound I've ever heard out of a distortion
pedal. It absolutely kicks the shit out of anything I've ever heard. If
you're into hardcore death metal don't bother with this pedal. If you
want
rock, blues, heavy metal, punk and probably even jazz then this is for
you. With the scoop button in it sounds exactly like Dime. You can get
a better Zakk Wylde kinda sound out
of this pedal than using the ZZ-44. I absoluetly love this pedal. It's
kinda like the Boss Metal Zone but doesn't have the digital, super fake
sound.

I play rock, blues and alot
of heavy metal (Godsmack, Metallica and Anthrax, ACDC) I've been
playing for 14 years and this pedal has
done me prowd. If this pedal was taken away from me I'd buy another.
Even if it would costs me double the amount.
