dimed

to rat someone out.

Joe dropped a dime on Tommy to the police to collect the reward. Joe dimed Tommy.
comes from the days (up until the '70's) when it only cost a dime to use the payphone to make a call - in this case to the police.

We were cruising down Bathurst Street with the stereo dimed, and it was just then that we saw the kitty cat.

I can't remember what you look like
Cause I was dimed
Wasn't the whole world at the time?"

Dimed

To Set The Control's Of A Guitar Amplifier In A Way That Is Reminiscent Of The Late Great Dimebag Darrell's BuzzSaw Guitar Tone. Which Is, Boosted Bass, Heavily Cut Mid And Boosted Treble And Prescence.

"Hey Man,, Your Guitar Tone Sounds Like An Acoustic Through A Marshall Man, You Need To Get That Amp Dimed Up Man!!!"

dimed

Controls set to 10 on a guitar amp or pedal, nothing to do with douchebag Darrell, dime, 10, loud, simple.

I had the Marshall dimed, and it nearly peeled the paint off the walls.
