Board to Be Wylde: Win a Zakk Wylde Signature Pedalboard & Signed Vinyl

“These pedals definitely work for me, which is why they’ve been on my board beyond forever. They can take a severe beating and give me all the sonic ingredients I need to make my soup — be it a Black Label soup, an Ozzy soup, a Pantera Celebration soup, or an Experience Hendrix soup.” – Zakk Wylde

Zakk Wylde has been stomping on MXR and Dunlop products for many, many moons. In fact, 2023 marked the 20th anniversary of his collaboration with these fine brands on his signature pedals. To celebrate this momentous occasion, Zakk’s five signature pedals were unleashed with stunning, new finishes. This quintet of ear-pleasing, eye-catching effects comprises:

Dunlop Wylde Audio Cry Baby Wah

Dunlop Wylde Audio Rotovibe Chorus/Vibrato

MXR Wylde Audio Phase

MXR Wylde Audio Overdrive

MXR Wylde Audio Chorus

To celebrate Zakk’s long-standing relationship with Dunlop and MXR, you can enter to win these five pedals wired up and ready to rock on a D’Addario XPND pedalboard from Sweetwater. They’re all powered via a Dunlop DC Brick mounted under the board, too, so no batteries required!

If that’s not incentive enough to enter to win, then there’s also a signed, colored-vinyl copy of Zakk Sabbath’s most recent offering, the double album Doomed Forever Forever Doomed. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any cooler, Zakk also ran the pedalboard through its paces backstage. So, it’s been stomped on by the Wylde man himself. Nice...

Getting Things in Order

The order in which Father Zakk runs these pedals is exactly as listed above. Namely:

guitar > wah > Rotovibe > phase > overdrive > chorus > amp(s).

That’s exactly how the pedalboard you can win is wired up, too. Just so you know, Zakk uses the two outputs on his chorus to drive two amp stacks in stereo. Also — a little bit of Wylde wah trivia — to ensure he can switch his Cry Baby on and off with minimal fuss, Zakk removes the two little rubber feet under the treadle of his wah.

The only other pedal Mr. Wylde uses is an MXR Carbon Copy analog delay, which he usually places between the phase and overdrive. Plus, when he’s doing the Pantera Celebration shows in honor of his dear friend Dime, he also incorporates a couple of noise gates to ensure those all-important “holes of silence” are exactly that: silent!

Final Words from Father Zakk

“I like to keep it as simple as possible,” Zakk states about his relatively straightforward but highly effective rig. “Basically, it’s the same exact meat-and-potatoes setup I’ve been using ever since I did ‘Miracle Man’ with Ozzy. I enjoy trying out new things ’cause it’s fun, but these pedals definitely work for me, which is why they’ve been on my pedalboard beyond forever. They can take a severe beating and give me all the sonic ingredients I need to make my soup — be it a Black Label soup, an Ozzy soup, a Pantera Celebration soup, or an Experience Hendrix soup.”
