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. 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.

MXR DD-11 Tribute Dime Distortion Specifications:

• 5" x 3-3/4" x 1-1/2"
• Green & Black

Bring it on! Put it in the cart.

Aug 5, 2006 - Was this dime distortion? Because I never saw Dime use it live or in any video. I bought this being a big Dime fan and I am running it through a 5150 II head as well as a Randall Dual Pre Amp Head. I can't even really hear it at all! It's like Mush and it really only makes my tone worse than the sound of the amp. I ran it through a Line 6 Pod XT and I got way better results in that. But through my amps it is like Mush. So overall I gave it a 1. The only good thing about it is that maybe some day it will be a sought after item because of it's name and Dime's face on it but other than that it didn't do anything. I am running my heads on krank cabinets and Marshall cabinets. I also use a Digitech Wham and a Dime Crybaby waw that I really like. But this Dime MXR Distortion is a bore. It really had a interesting tone through my Line 6 POD Pro XT though. I was very surprised that it didn't make any noise in my amps!

Jul 14, 2006 - A couple of days ago I got this pedal and the sound was awesome and it is very strong. I play through 2 marshall stacks and my guitars of choice is the fbd, cfh, and washburn dime stealth. If you own one of these with the bill lawrence or dime buckers, you must buy this pedal.
disapointing

Jul 6, 2006 - I bought this pedal simply because I'm one of the biggest dime fans you can find... but I found that this pedal isn't true to the real dime tone...it simply doesn't compare to dimes real distortion... I play a randall rh300g3 head through two peavey 4x12 cabinets...and if turned up past a quarter of the way on both master and level it gives horrible feedback and hum.... if your looking for the dimebag tone then this isn't where you should look.
The best damn pedal ever.

Jun 25, 2006 - I got this pedal as a gift. After Dime passed away I have been trying to get my hands on all of his gear to keep his sound and music alive. And this pedal gets the job done. I own 3 strats and Randy Rhoads V and a handfull of other guitars and they sound great through this pedal. But when I plug in the Dean ML nothing comes closer to unleashing Dimes squeals and divebombs we all love.

Jun 3, 2006 - Speaking strictly distortion, it sounds nearly identical to the DS-7 Distortion by Ibanez (Which is 1/3 the cost). However, the output is huge. None of the pedals I own produce as much power as this one does. The 7 for quality is because this thing is pretty much unbreakable, but it's more of a Classic Rock Distortion than a metal distortion. If you want a good metal-sounding pedal, go with either the SM-7 Ibanez Smash Box or the Boss MT-2 Metal Zone.
