The Dimebag Darrell CFH Collection comes straight from the source. Ferocious. Blistering. Soulful. Those are just three of many words one would use to describe the guitar tone of “Dimebag” Darrell Lance Abbott. Dime is considered one of the most influential guitarists of all-time and a legendary, genre-defining musician. Most will 333% agree that Dime’s legacy is rich, particularly his work on "Cowboys From Hell."

IK Multimedia worked meticulously for this collection with Dime’s long-time guitar tech and right-hand man, Grady Champion. We utilized Dime’s personal guitar effects, amplifiers and cabinets from those studio sessions to precisely model all of Dime’s guitar tones on "Cowboys From Hell." Now you can play and record using the same gear and settings as Dime did on Pantera’s groundbreaking album.
Let Dime's legacy push you towards a new level of crushingly heavy riffs and ferocious leads with the sound and feel of his actual gear.
Dime’s tone was so unique… You automatically knew it was him as soon as he strapped on his guitar and hit that first note. What a lucky guy I was to know him. He was my friend first and took me on a ride I’ll never forget. I owe him everything. I am very fortunate to be included in this project and help create the Dimebag Darrell "Cowboys From Hell" version of AmpliTube. Can’t wait for you all to hear it.
Dime was as brutally hilarious as was his playing lethal. During extreme writing sessions, it was his sense of humor that made the intensity of those moments that much more endurable. Like Vince, Dime was a perfectionist in the studio and in a live setting, so his comedic stylings benefitted all involved — the band, crew & audience. He was one in a zillion and his methodology lives on with every studio endeavor or tour I do. Bless his memory.
Dime did it all my friends! From his monstrously huge rhythm attack to his blood curdling vibrato and stinging leads… He was always on the search for a bigger sound, which he did with perfection. It was an honor to sit beside him from the time he picked up that guitar until the end. The King is gone but his tone will NEVER be forgotten!
Dime had the most aggressive and pulverizing tone that there was. His lead tone was so identifiable… you just knew it was him. It was both equally brutal and beautiful!
Dime was the real deal. An amazing human being and the heaviest guitar player ever. He played with his heart and soul. We toured together, drank together and had a great time… thank you for everything Dime.
Dimebag Darrell was the first player of the modern era of metal to emerge with distinctive styles both as a soloist and a riff-master. Despite Pantera having a one-guitar lineup, Darrell’s tone had the intensity of two players, easily standing toe to toe with the heaviest of the two-guitar bands.
The one thing I loved the most about Dime was the way the melodies and notes just seemed to flow through him. Like he was a literal conduit from Gods delivering the perfect pitch, tone and blend for us all to worship. He wasn’t theory-trained, but schooled all of us in the process.
