Notes

Studio recording for 'Cemetery Gates' (1990, Cowboys from Hell album). Dimebag used his Dean ML with Bill Lawrence L-500XL bridge pickup into a Randall RG100ES amp. Effects included MXR Flanger, Furman PQ-3 Parametric EQ, MXR 6-Band EQ, Rocktron Hush noise gate. No amp reverb; all effects are pedals or rack units. Settings are for the heavy/distorted solo section, not the clean intro.
