Dimebag's Amp in a PEDAL?! - Master Effects Vulgar (Review & Demo)

[@terminalvelocity4858]

0:17 that RG200ES (Century 200) is actually my amp. The wood paneling in the background of my jam room gave it away. I bought it back in 2014, then actually sold it a few years later on Reverb (where that pic came from), only to somehow find it again and buy it back a few years after that! What are the odds, right? Yes, it's really that clean still in 2024 and works like brand-new. I don't think I could ever part with that amp again, just was "meant to be"🤘

[@johnsguitarmusicanddemos]

Randall is probably the only solid state amp I like for recording high gain. It has a certain bite and punch without the thin sounds. The pedal sounds sick!

[@terminalvelocity4858]

I am getting one of these Vulgar pedals soon hopefully. I recently spoke with Tim from Master Effects, and he told me that this pedal is both the RG100ES and the Century 200. The preamp in both amps are the same, the only difference was the mid boost. So, mid boost OFF is RG100ES, ON is Century 200. I will definitely think about doing a comparison video of my Century 200 to the Vulgar pedal if it would be useful to anyone.

@@terminalvelocity4858 nice! I'll be doing something similar as well

[@terminalvelocity4858]

@@EricMorettin Too cool brother, will keep an eye out, can't wait to watch! Master effects is truly a great company, I hope they keep going with all these great pedals and more. I've definitely been spreading the support and word about them when I can.

[@MattIrwin-s8d]

I just ordered the vulgar pedal, the ME PS3 clone, MXR 6 band, and a noise suppressor. Would love to see a pedal board setup to get some ideas for when it all arrives in 4-6 weeks. Thanks for these vids eric. Keep em comin!

[@EricMorettin]

Nice! I definitely want to get a pedal rig going one day but all the pieces of the rig must be made first. Thanks!

[@AttilaVorosOfficial]

1st: I LOVE the shirt! :) 2nd: Thank You for the detailed behind stories and great, articulate infos and specs! They really sounded identical. My main question would be, how would You use it live? For rhytms as well as leads? I didn't feel that much chunk in it, do You think it may be the lack of 6 band EQ in front? And YEAH, it would be nice to hear it in another video with boost pedals, delays etc, as You mentioned! Thanks again the video bro!

[@EricMorettin]

Thank you brother! I'd use it live into a SD Powerstage and a cab. Also definitely would use a boost or EQ in front of it to push it over the edge like dime did. Working on something regarding the later so stay tuned ;)

[@AttilaVorosOfficial]

@@EricMorettin Great, looking fwd to watching & hearing that one ;)

[@Crunchifyable2]

Noticed via this pedal that the Dime tone is not that far different from Van Halen. It's like they were all trying to get a certain sound where the mids would just sing and sustain without being harsh

[@EricMorettin]

The Abbott brothers loved Van Halen and Dime was also inspired by them for not tuning to A440

[@StevenVachon]

Yeah, a pedalboard-based Dimebag rig would be interesting

[@EricMorettin]

I think it's very doable

[@mateustatsch600]

hey, where can i find the IR for a jaguar cabinet?

[@garycoysmith]

Hopefully you found a good IR in the 10 months since commenting, but for anyone else wondering the same, I love Ola England's DIMED IR's from his website.

[@mateustatsch600]

@@garycoysmith good one, thank you

[@PENSHockey182]

Yeah, I think I'll stick with a $200 pedal vs an almost $2,000 head. Great comparison 👍🏼

[@EricMorettin]

Thanks! I wish this pedal had a second channel to then really rival the head

[@Francisco17Berrios]

​@@EricMorettin Why you mean this? :)

[@MasterEffectsPedals]

@@EricMorettin you have my attention ;)

[@chosenone2964]

I saw one on Reverb for 900 something

[@EricMorettin]

@@chosenone2964 if it's USD then it's way more in CAD or before shipping in general.

[@MiddleTennesseeLiving]

The Boss Metal Zone remains my favorite stompbox.

[@EricMorettin]

Those are amazing infront of a rectifier

[@Durkhead]

​@Eric Morettin you should do a comparison of the metalzone as a boost in front of a rectifier and as full distortion in the effects loop

[@TheGhostOfGideon]

@@EricMorettin i put it at the rear tire to prevent my car from moving back or front😁

[@Lucas-nu8ur]

I've got a question , I'm a beginning learner. In case I want to add this pedal to my combo (i've got a peavey rage 158), should I turn the clean channel in my amp and then use only the pedal to control distortion and eq ?

[@EricMorettin]

You should run it into the effects loop or MP3 in if it has either

[@Lucas-nu8ur]

@@EricMorettin thanks

[@chosenone2964]

I think the Amps a little spankier, we used what we had. Its nostalgia at this point

[@EricMorettin]

Yeah the amp has more range, but keep in mind that we're comparing a distortion pedal to a full amo head.

[@TheGhostOfGideon]

i used to have a cheap Chinese pedal worth $25 that as far as i know sounds identical or almost to Vulgar and that RG100. i wasnt a pantera fan before so i throw it away. damn i regret it so much!!!!

[@muhammadhisyam6072]

dude! do you remember the brand name and model?

[@BattleofTrenton]

I know your dimebag mostly. But is anyone making pedals to sound like Rex.

[@EricMorettin]

I think that would be really cool. Rex used ampeg amps and those are readily available though, unlike these old Randall amps. Also Rex has his JST Toneforge plugin as well.

[@MasterEffectsPedals]

Super 300 is an svt in a box.

[@davedecker1725]

Rex probably plugs into a Tech-21 dp -3 to sound like dUg Pinnick 😎

[@roosternm6830]

I guess this ìs a matter of personal taste. I don't think it sounds like ol Dime used to at all. Very AM radio sounding. Maybe it sounds better in person.

[@EricMorettin]

They sound pretty close in person. I recommend you grab one and try for yourself

[@donsmith5385]

Great video but doesn’t sound like a Randall

[@operationmoyda]

Sorry, doesn't sound close to me....

[@EricMorettin]

Ok

[@justinfredericks2786]

Sounds terrible

[@dennisstafford5865]

Sound's like a pile of crap in a box trying to cash in in Dimes tone.

[@ChrisTopherBunnell]

I have his Randall RG100ES 10x4 combo amp. No pedal could match it.
