Ola Englund Boner food!

[@_errnest_]

I hope that my Warhead will sound close to Yours, I have mine for 2 years and I cannot get a good sound out of it. I will try with EQ and TS now.

[@donivenweinkauf3508]

What's up, where did you get your washburn guitar.

[@eddipl5055]

I came fast as a fart.

[@andrewanderson3746]

+Ola Englund Is there a chance you would do a tutorial on how you go about EQing amps? The tone you pulled out of this amp is proof that you can make anything usable. I spend hours trying to dial my amp in, so I'd appreciate some pointers!

[@irrsinnrainer]

That "massive crunch" sounded like the amp is dying a slow death...

[@TheKaindemonic78]

Dime not only used a 4x12 cab but a 2x15 for that massive low end since the 12’s tend to fart out

[@TyCorr]

That was the advertisement from Randall but i dont think Dime even used these things. I think he kept on running the Randall rg100 and century after this.

[@MFKR696]

@@TyCorr 15s fart out a whole lot more than 12s. Just sayin... There's a reason why pretty much every pro bassist out there uses 10" speakers. The bigger the cone is, the flubbier the lower-frequencies get. Harder to keep a big cone under control than it is with a smaller one.

[@naaate89]

I had one of the cabs for these back in the day. It honestly made any amp I put behind it sound amazing. After seeing this demo, I'm not sure if it could make the warhead sound amazing.

[@thehoppo]

It’s a giant fuzz pedal

That moment when 'massive crunch' sounds like Boss MT-2 through $15 PC speakers.

cuzzy bro completely agree

[@lukehewko260]

Sounding like obituary is a very good thing.

[@JAFOpty]

I think these amps were a prank by Dime

Or a sales gimmick by Randall.

They should rename it to Randall MT-2

[@lavatube1888]

Jepfrankie it is like there are a boss pedal secretly inside

Except the Metal Zone actually sounds better than those dime "presets" from the manual.

[@m4ssee]

Sounds pretty good with the pedals. I think the guitarist from Maximum the Hormone has used one of these throughout their whole career and it seems to work for him.

[@pitthefrit6292]

[@canhamducbet]

I have been curious about this amp. The only one I've heard before was modified by an amp repair guy, and I remember being blown away by it. Now I know why he did it.

[@DarkeningSkiesBand]

Ola, that was a great demonstration of the Warhead. I have one myself, and I never use the red channel; I just put my guitar through an MXR fullbore metal into the clean channel. The amp isn't quite as bad-sounding as a lot of people say, but you are correct when you say "tweaker's nightmare"; it really is a pain in the ass to dial it in. But once it gets there, it's not so bad! You got some good tones out of it, too. Nice job! \m/

[@ExDementia666]

@6:23 Jesus man, you just go into that tone with no warning of the horror that's to come?? There could be kids watching, you monster!

[@hbomb495]

[@jjrusy7438]

haha, classic. remember the video where guitar dude pulls his bigscreen off the table with the deadly guitar cord? The massive crunch from the factory chart sounds like his sound. the rest not so much (to me anyways)

[@bryand.5240]

The massive crunch sounds like dimebag....if you were listening to him play at a stage a couple blocks away

[@jjrusy7438]

play studio cemetary gates. the factory massive crunch sounds close to that to me on my system. slightly different eq but they nailed the top end

[@simantamech4658]

sounds like the worst free vst without those pedals :D

[@shadilamesbutr8239]

The tone at the start of the video is really good.

Hey Ola, without the pedals in front you just dicovered the Obituary - Slowly we Whrot Sound! Congratulations man!

[@eog5217]

With a 4x12 and a 2x15 this amp is fantastic. It only works properly with them

[@AvyScottandFlower]

Dimebag may not have had the best taste when it came to guitar tone, but he MORE than made for it with pure, raw talent!

[@peepongdingdong9208]

This is not his tone. Dime's tone is the best metal tone, aggressively cutting (vulgar/trendkill are his best tones in terms of studio releases).

[@KD-nb3mp]

Well thats your opinion. I think he had amazing tone.

[@JMPK23]

Alot more people would disagree with you than agree

[@gentlewolf1279]

I had one of these... actually a cool amp once you learned how to dial them in...

[@intheshoptv]

I guess thats how By Demons be driven is played, but it sounds so much better when played on the first fret with the last note being open

[@KristianHeartmusic]

Ola please keep doing more dimebag & Randall amp demo vids for one you do a killer job with them and two I think dime would be proud 🤘

[@ProjectCreativityGuy96]

I have this video playing in my living room, and your guitar tone always makes me start a pit. You classic, Ola!!! \m/ Honest words, you are a killer and sick musician, Bro. I love everything you do.

[@merqury5]

Thanks Ola, this mirrors the WTF experience I had with the amp back in the day. I wasn't crazy, it really did sound horrible, and I similarly tried it in the shop with a signature Washburn.

[@V8_200_Landcruiser]

I miss owning this beast!

[@Julian66666666666666]

The thing with this amp is that the parametric eq acted as the PQ4, and the graphic eq was to give the tone the final shape

[@Pazuzu-]

The "recommended settings" is basically the first demo of every early 90s Tampa Death Metal band.

[@brianb4877]

Great stuff and cover, I love that album!

[@MKRocker2012]

It sounds like the engineer had never heard Pantera before, and they just showed him a picture of Dime's face, and said "Make an amp that sounds like this man taking a dump."

[@domi8653]

Dime scooped the normal eq and boosted mids on graphic. He stated that when he used Warhead he pretty much pluged straight into it

[@grainofsalt4934]

I think this problem is only with the 2nd release versions not the USA builds (power switch on back) that came out first. Mine if dialed in right (which takes patience to achieve) sounds spot on with dimes tone.

[@adamdalliston8110]

I had one for years and could never get a good sound out of it. Now I have two Krankensteins and a Satan. \m/

[@dreygonshark]

I think it's hilarious when you keep your mishaps in the videos. Starts video, pedals take a dive off the warhead 😂

[@javierdiazsantana]

You got it Ola!

[@ryanday9288]

Cant wait for the x2 demo! This sounded pretty sick for how much bad things I hear about the original warheads

[@jparkerriffs]

Your settings sounded the best and closest to his tone - I would be pretty sad to get that amp and those regular settings and it sounded like that, haha. Especially for a Randall.. they always kick ass. The 2nd setting didn't sound too bad after you added the pedals and turned up the mids a bit -. I imagine without the pedals you saved our ears turning that moosh down - mustve been worse in the room.. it was so washed out.. Was cool how you turned something not so use-able into something very use-able easily.

[@lazerbladebrennerpurdy8314]

I’d love to have that Washburn. Beautiful guitar for sure. I can get a similar sound out of my line 6 spider 4 hd150. Took a lot of tweaking

[@ryanohlson4181]

Holy shit, I thought something was wrong with the video audio, it was so quiet, and then he turned on the mids. There has never been a better demonstration of why you shouldn't scoop your tone too much.

[@caduborges5198]

Hi, Ola! I'm probably the first guy to ask it, but what about a video showing how to achieve Dime's tone with pedal boards like Fractal, Helix and others? It would be way awesome! Thanks, man!

"God gave Dimebag's tone to you, gave Dimebag's tone you. Put it in you sooul for everyone..." Ok, for real now. I don't care how many pedals you need. That tone Is Diamond Darrell squared. Well done!

My brother had a Warhead for a while. The sound without pedals here reminds me of the sadness and disappointment, hah!

[@Steliosflevarakis]

[@trayallebach3171]

Ola! You should do a video on getting a dime tone on a helix LT or fractal ax8. I’m about to get a helix and would love to have dimes tone as a snapshot for anytime I wanna get into some dime grooves. Thanks!

[@karl4861]

Love the video dawg, will you try more dimebag amps like a krank?

[@J.Mortis]

This amp was produced in Randalls "Washburn International" era...for some reason these shit the bed compared to the RG150 or X2...and Cyclones sound similar, but way better...and they're the same amp for the most part...I think they added extra diodes to this, and that's causing that fuzzy type of drive...Okay, try cutting the bass on the channel EQ, and boosting it back with the 9 band EQ...another thing to remember, the Clean/Gain EQs are Active EQs...

[@Johnny-WaIker]

Very nice tone. Love it!

[@demiurge7198]

When you play into amplifier without pedals,such feeling that you play on a neck pickup
