Cemetery Gates
Pantera's most dynamic song: a clean, chiming arpeggio intro that explodes into a crushing groove and one of Dimebag Darrell's most expressive solos. Recorded with producer Terry Date in 1990, the heavy tone is a Dean ML 'Dean From Hell' with a Bill Lawrence L-500XL through a solid-state Randall RG100ES — mids scooped by an MXR six-band EQ — while the clean intro comes from a Roland JC-120's lush chorus. Standard tuning.

What we checked
Computed by a program, on this recipe, every time this page is built. How this works
Preset files — 1 of 3 complete
- Helix builds complete — every block in the recipe is in the file
- Quad Cortex 4 blocks replaced with a stand-in model
Which ones
Replaced with a stand-in: Noise Gate, Studio Comp, 5153 Red Ch, Plate. These load cleanly but are not the model named above — the file will sound wrong here until we map them. Set these blocks by hand.
- Katana 1 block missing from the file; 4 blocks replaced with a stand-in model
Which ones
Not in the file: Reverb. The recipe calls for this block, but we have no verified model ID for it on this platform, so the preset is written without it. Add it by hand using the settings above.
Replaced with a stand-in: Brown, Noise Gate, Booster, Reverb. These load cleanly but are not the model named above — the file will sound wrong here until we map them. Set these blocks by hand.
What we didn't check
- Nobody played this through a real amp. There is no human listening test behind any number on this page.
- The settings are reasoned from the sources below, not measured off the record.
- No audio has been rendered for this recipe yet, so you cannot hear it before you load it.
- 3 platforms on this page (TONEX, Kemper, Fractal) get a model pointer, not a preset file — nothing was built or checked for them.
