Wouldn't destroy....... but you might get a gain that's too heavy for anyones taste.......But again, the first rule in pedal planning, is there ARE NO RULES. If it works for you.. great.

Well, many Noobs are always asking about Distortion in particular (Anyone want to relive the whole JesusFreak incident????)....

I say we dedicate this thread to JUST distortion, overdrive and fuzz.... There's ALOT to cover..... And don't forget..... we haven't even mention about "natural gain" from Amplifiers......

Well..... you can also grab Dimebag's Krankenstein amplifier.... Dime's Distortion..... Dime's Crybaby from hell.....
and of course..... Dime's Razorback guitar.... if you don't have the cash for the USA ones.... the China made ones are ABSOLUTELY spectacular as well....

Upgrading pickups? Try out the dimebuckers!!!!

This is the Dimebag guitar I'll be getting:

Figured to go with the Razorback since it comes with a carrying case and the Dime-O-Flame doesn't. Also.... the razorback just looks wicked cool.

too bad I can't have THIS guitar..... One of a kind!!!!

Yes...... that's what an EQ pedal does...... changes the EQ..... duh.
Kerry King even has his signature EQ pedal from MXR.... that's the only way he can get those amazing tones from his hot-rodded JCM800
