MY dream rig is a Krankenstien half/full stack. I've heard many sound clips and have heard/watched bands use them at local shows. Dear god do I want one :( . I know KRank worked really hard and long on the Krankenstien ( Diembag's rig.) They placed all the components in a certain way in that, so they say (havent played on one personally so I can't veryify) , that it eliminates the need for a noise gate. They also put out a great deal of gain.
