Zakk Wyldes pedal board.

I was lucky to be at GC on Saturday when Zakk Wylde
(Formerly of Ozzy Ozbourne band) Currently with The Black Label Socioty Showed up to do a 30 minute guitar show and give autographs. I Had asked Zakk what his rig was and here it is,
2 Marshall stock JCM800- 100 watt amps, a boss super overdrive SD-1, a Boss chorus ensemble CE-5, a Univibe-cry baby casing style and a regular Dunlop cry baby pedal. I watched as he went from rip screaming leads to a nice clean sound. Of course a guitar of choice was a Gibson les paul custom with the inlaid mirror pieces forming the trademark bullseye

Willy	Thanks for your review. Zakk is an amazing guitar player. Go check Scott Henderson pedalboard if you're interested, at: http://home.sol.no/~afrimans/ It's great. Willy

Distortion freak	Wow that's cool meeting Zakk. It's always interesting to see what the pro's are using, though it's pretty much the same stuff as us. I've never heard Black Label Society. They any good? What kind of music?

TimL.	Dude, BLS rocks. Zakk's been the player that's been most influential on my style. They're a tuned-down heavy type of mix between Black Sabbath, Corrosion of Conformity, a trace of industrial, and of course the trademark Zakk Wylde harmonics... if you want a taste of it, just look 'em up on Napster or something...

Hisssssssssssss!!!!!! Napster EVIL!!!! Stay away from that!!! Stealing music from working musicians is bad!!!!!

I met Zakk once, he was a really cool guy. I was working backstage as a guitar tech for this big guitar show in Chicago about 4 years ago. It was a big concert with about every great guitar player I had ever heard of. Everyone from Tony MacAlpine to Eddie Van Halen. Van Halen was cool, he had a band with Billy Sheehan and Steve Lukather and they played Led Zeppelin covers. Damn that was a cool show, it was some sort of benefit concert for ALS or something like that. Something to do with Jason Becker.

Re: Zakk Wyldes pedal board.

Man, you got to meet the King?

Ol Ed himself. I was real EVH influenced by ol Ed back years ago when I bought the first VH album in 78. It kicked ass for the time period, Just imagine ted Nugent Double live gonzo was big and here comes the newcomers VH. WOW. Any way during the mid 80s I heard Tony Macalpine and man he was a bad Mutha F%$#$%$er!!!. Ive got his first album ( Edge of insanity) and that was a bad ass album. Meeting Zakk was real cool, My Wife talked to him for just a few minutes and she was tripping out getting to meet this bad guitar player that she had seen in 94 for the No more tears tour. I felt lucky to have talked just a minute of shop. Thats a privilage

For the show you seen , That must have been really cool. Also these guys doing that for ALS is a good thing. Jason Becker was a Bad Ass on the Guitar and its a shame when deseases happen to the talented. Lets hope the best for Jason...
Cheers
