# Dimebag Darrell Pedalboard 1992: Full Gear & Pedal List > The 1992 Dimebag Darrell pedalboard, pedal by pedal: Furman PQ-4 Parametric Equalizer and 3 more. Signal-chain order, settings and cited sources. - Canonical page: https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/dimebag-darrell/vulgar-display-core-path-1992/ - Machine-readable index of the archive: https://pedalboardarchive.com/llms.txt - Evidence and reconstruction conventions: https://pedalboardarchive.com/methodology/ ## At a glance | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Artist | Dimebag Darrell | | Board | Vulgar Display of Power core path | | Date | 1992-01-01 — Vulgar Display of Power era, 1992 (era precision) | | Context | Studio and live core rig | | Scope | Core signal path | | Signal path | 4 units · Guitar to amplifier | | Routing | Serial path | | Unit evidence | Documented | | Order evidence | Source-described | | Status | Artist-described signal order | | Audited | 2026-07-18 | | Sources | 2 | Dimebag Darrell drove his Randall amps on Vulgar Display of Power with two opposed EQs — a Furman PQ-4 parametric and an MXR six-band — plus a Rocktron Hush gate for the noise, with the Cry Baby wah last before the amps. ## Signal chain **Order evidence — Source-described.** A source states the sequence. | # | Unit | Role | Zone | Unit evidence | Position evidence | Catalog page | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Furman PQ-4 Parametric Equalizer | Cuts a broad midrange curve and adds gain before the graphic EQ and amplifier input. | Rack insert | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/furman-pq-4-parametric-equalizer/ | | 2 | MXR Blue Six Band EQ | Restores a narrow mid band after the Furman scoop while adding more level into the solid-state amplifier. | Front of amp | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/mxr-blue-six-band-eq/ | | 3 | Rocktron Hush 2-B | Clamps the heavily boosted EQ path; the tech opened the gate rather than switching to a separate lead tone. | Rack insert | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/rocktron-hush-2-b/ | | 4 | Dunlop Cry Baby | Sits last before the amplifiers so the entire boosted, gated signal pulses through the filter. | Front of amp | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/cry-baby-wah/ | ## Reconstruction note Dimebag directly gives the order as Furman PQ-4, blue MXR six-band EQ, Rocktron Hush 2-B, Cry Baby and amplifiers. Guitar World's later gear history independently explains how the parametric EQ made a broad cut and the MXR restored a narrow mid band while both boosted the amp input. The documented MXR 126 Flanger/Doubler is excluded from this core path because neither source fixes its insertion point for the 1992 rig. Amplifiers and switching utilities are omitted. ## Questions ### What pedals did Dimebag Darrell use in 1992? This dated entry lists 4 units: Furman PQ-4 Parametric Equalizer, MXR Blue Six Band EQ, Rocktron Hush 2-B, Dunlop Cry Baby. This is the recorded inventory, not a claim that every connection or model identification is confirmed; see the evidence and routing notes. ### What order were Dimebag Darrell's pedals in? A cited source states the order. See the diagram and routing notes for the separate paths and any unconfirmed connections. ### Is this Dimebag Darrell's full guitar rig? No. This dated entry covers 4 units in the effects path, not every piece of gear Dimebag Darrell owned or used. Floor pedals, rack units and routing devices are included only where recorded; omitted equipment and uncertain connections are explained in the notes. It is not a complete or current rig inventory. ### When and where was this pedalboard used? Vulgar Display of Power era, 1992. Studio and live core rig. This is the core signal path documented for that period, not a career-wide gear list. ### How does the archive know what was on this pedalboard? 2 cited sources, listed above with the date each was read, including Guitar World. Among them an interview and an archive record. The units are recorded as documented equipment, and the page was last audited on 2026-07-18. ## Sources 2 cited sources across 2 independent groups.
