IK Multimedia Announces New Dimebag Darrell CFH Collection for AmpliTube
Dimebag's entire rig was modeled with the help of his longtime guitar tech, Grady Champion.
IK Multimedia has announced the Dimebag Darrell CFH Collection for AmpliTube, which models the legendary guitarist’s rig from Pantera's iconic 1990 album Cowboys From Hell.
The collection features nine new models—two amps, two cabinets and five stompboxes—and was developed in collaboration with Dimebag’s longtime guitar tech Grady Champion. You can see the full list of models below.
Available as a desktop app and DAW plugin, the CFH Collection features IK’s Dynamic Interaction Modelling, which aims to capture the nuance and character of every component.
The Dimebag Darrell CFH Collection is available for preorder via IK Multimedia for the introductory price of $79.99. The Collection ships from November, after which the regular price will be $99.99.

- Pre EQ 3 - Three-Band Parametric EQ based on the Furman PQ-3; offers great flexibility for sound shaping.
- Flanger Doubler - Based on an MXR Flanger Doubler, offering two effects in one. Primarily used by Dime in "doubler mode" to thicken in his overall tone.
