In his early career as a musician, Dimebag used Dean ML guitars (Most notably the "Dean From Hell" that was custom painted in a lightning bolt design) and Bill Lawrence L500XL pickups, which he would install in a reversed position to have the "hot" blade facing the neck. When Dean guitars went out of business he switched to Washburn. Dimebag used Washburn guitars for the greater part of his career (1996-2004), endorsing various signature models. Seymour Duncan also manufactures a signature pickup co-designed by Dime, called the Dimebucker. Dimebag proudly endorsed Seymour Duncan, but continued to use Bill Lawrence pickups in all of his personal guitars. Several months before his death, Darrell ended his long relationship with Washburn guitars, and again became a Dean endorsee, coinciding with Dean Guitar founder Dean Zelinksy's return. As a tribute to the late great, Dean Guitars released the new Dime Tribute line of ML guitars. These guitars come in various models, ranging from lower end ones that have a stop tail piece, a bolt-on neck, Basswood Body, and lower quality pickups, to higher end models with Dimebuckers, a Floyd Rose bridge, and set neck construction. Dean has also produced a unique Dime signature-design guitar, called the "Razorback", reminiscent of Dean's classic ML design, but with a more modern twist. During the height of Dimebag's fame, he also worked together with MXR and Dunlop to produce the MXR Dime Distortion and the Dimebag "Crybaby From Hell" Wah respectively. Dimebag's rig also included Randall Century 200 heads and cabinets loaded with Celestion and Jaguar speakers, Furman parametric equalizers, MXR flanger / doublers, Lexicon effect modules, Korg tuners, Rocktron silencers and Digitech Whammy pedals, amongst other gadgets in his arsenal. When Dime left Washburn a few weeks before his death, he also left Randall Amps, investing in and endorsing amps from a brand new company, Krank. He planned to redefine his very own sound by developing the "KRANKENSTEIN". He also used the Zakk Wylde Overdrive by MXR, and had a prototype expression pedal by Dunlop giving a Wah Fuzz and Octave at once for "noise".
