Folks without one might have to default to a stompbox-only approach. Use the clean tone settings then hit the od pedal? Or use the amps gain button then hit the OD button.

Charlie Featured X , Guitars Nice article and keep it up! The collaboration began in and these amps included tubes in the power amp section.
The story goes that there are only of these ever made, and they all sold pretty quickly. Just like the original old versions, these amps feature pretty simple control layouts. Other than that, this amp has two channels, clean and distorted, and has a total output power of 50 watts. However, Zakk did confirm that the amp saw extensive use during the tour in support of the record back in the late s. This watt head is somewhat similar to classic heavy Marshall tones.
It comes with four EL34 power amp tubes, as well as five 12AX7s in the preamp section. But what makes this amp so interesting, and probably way more versatile than classic Marshall JCM heads, is the inclusion of more detailed controls. Inspired by classic Marshalls, they made the Wylde Audio Master amp head. To put it simply, this one is an absolute beast, delivering high gain heavy tones, the kind that Zakk prefers.
Now going back to his Marshalls, Zakk has the AVT 20 Valvestate model that he uses for backstage practice before live shows. Although a hybrid amp designed for practices and home use, it was intended to replicate some of the classic JCM and JCM tones at a reasonable price level. This is accompanied by two speaker cabinets, each bearing a single inch speaker. But those Marshall amps need a proper overdrive pedal that would push them over the limit, right into those heavy yet pleasant-sounding territories.
The pedal is pretty simple, bearing only three basic controls for volume, tone, and gain. The pedal has been present on the market since However, the s versions featured all-analog circuitry with classic BBD chips, whereas later versions are all digital-based.
It found its way into his signal chain way back in his early days with Ozzy Osbourne, mostly for live shows. The pedal was released back in the late s and is still sold to this day. But going from and onwards, it was turned into a digital chorus effect. Since Zakk is a well-known fan of the effect, this particular pedal was designed to fit his needs, delivering a clear yet pleasant-sounding chorus that would enhance his heavy tones.
At the first glance, the pedal seems like your average wah. But although a chorus and vibrato device, its primary function is to imitate those classic rotating Leslie speakers which were very popular in the s and the s. Although somewhat limited with the maximum delay time, due to the nature of BBD chips, Carbon Copy is well-known for its smoother-sounding tones compared to most of its digital competitors on the market. There are also two trim pots inside of the pedal that let you set some of its parameters.
The Aphexes added this huge bottom end that you can hear on No Rest for the Wicked. This rig would form the basis of his signature tone for years to come. However with new endoresments the makes and models started to change over time. His fleet of Gibson Les Paul Customs were mainstays for a majority of this period. The key difference between a stock JCM and those used by Wylde is in the type of power tubes used.
