Notes
Studio recording for 'Crawl' (2004, New Found Power album); Dimebag had just switched to Krank amps but was known to use Randall heads as well. Gear confirmed for Damageplan era, but not all sources specify exact amp for this track. Guitar and pickup are consistent with Dimebag's studio use at the time.
