Why it sounds like that
Dimebag's guitar on Walk was a Dean From Hell with Bill Lawrence pickups, played into a solid-state Randall amplifier. The tape sound made it onto the record with some high-end boost and a slight dip in the mids. He used a noise gate carefully, so the stops and pauses between rhythm hits stay free of hiss, hum and fret noise. The solo is a single guitar track played through the neck pickup.
- Set a noise gate so every stop and pause in the rhythm is free of hiss, hum and fret noise.
- Play the solo on one guitar track through the neck pickup.
