In this article from Guitar World, they write that Darrell collaborated in designing this amp, but was killed before the official release of it. "Dime started using a Krank Revolution stack onstage with Damageplan, but he also started collaborating with Krank amp designer Tony Dow on a new model that became known as the Krankenstein. Dime called it a “super hot-rod hell-raiser version” of the Revolution. 'I got rid of everything in my rack,' Dime said. 'Now I go straight into the Krank and let it blaze. The less shit you run through, the more pure your tone is. I always thought that I had to have my six-band EQ and my PQ4 and jack everything up to high hell. Now I plug in and let it rip.'"

In the video "Dimebag Darrell 1993 (Walk Solo)" by Antonio Reyes, Dimebag Darrell is seen using a Marshall MS-2 Micro Stack, positioned to his left and visible several times throughout the footage.

[Interviewer] What kind of Randalls are they?

[Darrell] They're Randall RG100HTs. They're rack mount. I think HT means "rack mount", I don't know.

[Interviewer] You got a pedal board?

[Darrell] I don't I have them in a rack and the only thing else I use is a Furman PQ-4 parametric equalizer. I just use that, I don't really use it for much more than just cuttin' out some frequencies that I don't want and boostin' a couple that I do want. And the main thing is another vital, detrimental thing to my tone, is a little blue MXR Six Band EQ, nine volt battery and that's it. I use a-

[Interviewer] A whammy pedal?

[Darrell] I don't even include that, because I come out and I fuckin' just use that thing to get super ridiculous squeals. I just got it, I don't even know how to use it good yet.

The Krank Revolution 4x12" speaker cab used by Dime for his Damageplan, and Rebel Meets Rebel era albums and live gigs used Eminence Patriot Texas Heat instead of the stock Eminence Legend V1216 speakers. This modified cab was later released posthumously as his signature Krank Krankenstein 4x12" speaker cab. He didn't use these speakers during his Pantera years though.

"I got myself a Pignose amp and a Big Muff fuzz and I was ready to rip. Now I'm using Randall amps; solid-state, not tube. I got a Burman PQ4 EQ, MXR six-band EQ, a Rocktron Hush unit and that's pretty much my rig."
