LOL I don't remember that ad, but I do remember seeing a poster in GFTPM with him and a Metaltronix head and half stack cab.

Re: zakk wylde\'s tone

If you want his tone pick up a Lee Jackson modded Marshall or a XLS-1000 made by Lee Jackson. Zakk still used Lee's heads today.

Re: zakk wylde\'s tone

Let's not forget his EMG 81/85 pups. His tone is all about a hot preamp signal.

EMGs + Boss SD1 + Marshall JCM800 2203 = Zakk's tone.

Re: zakk wylde\'s tone

It's not the SD1 guys ..that's the yellow overdrive ...Zakk uses the Boss DS1 ..the orange Distortion [img]graemlins/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Zakk also wires his pickups for 18 volts.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Nope - he uses the Yellow SD-1 Super Overdrive. Every picture you see of his rig features it on his pedal board.

To break it down even more:
Gibson Les Paul Custom + EMGs + Boss SD1 + Marshall JCM800 2203(loaded w/ 6550 tubes) + Marshall 4x12's(loaded w/ EV speakers or high powered Celestions) [img]graemlins/images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Re: zakk wylde\'s tone

His sound is so open and powerfull, I wouldn`t be suprised to find out his speakers are Celestion Classic lead 80s, those speakers with high gain will blow your hair back, very open and powerfull sounding [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Jack.

I use older Marshall 800 cabs with the original version of the Classic Lead 80's, Rola Celestion G12-80. These speakers have loud open clear tone with lots of low end thump!! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] and sound great driven with lots of gain! Could possibally be G-12-65's also!, they're a little more midrangee thought. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: zakk wylde\'s tone

I've read that they're Electro-Voice speakers, the 200 watt models.

Re: zakk wylde\'s tone

Those Celestion 80s are awesome speakers!!!!

My favorite over everything I've heard ..

I have 5 1960B cabs loaded with the 75s ..I guess those are my second favorite.. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: zakk wylde\'s tone

I was going to buy a used Laney cabinet loaded with the Celestion 75s, but it was gone when I got to the store!! [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img]
