> Dimebag Darrell, for example, liked his solid-state Randall sound very much. Who are you to argue?

Dimebag was paid to play Randalls. When the deal expired, he swtiched to tubes.

I think you have this backward.

Those Randall JFET amps sound like "chainsaws" when they break up, and I'm pretty sure he liked that. And he used them from way back when he wasn't famous.

The KRANK stuff came MUCH later in his career and KRANK paid him quite a lot. And there's lots of discussion about how he didn't really like the KRANK stuff all that much.
