for those of you that don't know it, Zakk Wylde is the man. BLS was doing a show in Lincoln Nebraska at a bar called guitars and Cadillacs. I saw him walking back to the hotel. I was in my 1991 IROC Z28 with t-tops of course. I whipped a shiter, slammed on my brakes got out and said Zakk fucking Wylde! long story short, we chit-chatted for a bit, he was so cool he gave me free concert tickets for that night's show. I will never forget that moment, Zakk you are the man!

They're part of the show. They have very similar specs like EMG 81/85, mahogany bodies, oiled maple ncks, ebony fretboards, etc. A fe have Floyds and are diffrent shapes, but essentialy they're meant for show.Zakk's rig is pretty bare bones for all he does with the guitar.

It's actually really nice to see a guitarist who clearly knows his stuff on one of these rig rundowns. Some guitarists, even like 20 year vets, barely even know whether they've got a Gibson or an Epiphone while they're holding it and asking them about their pedals is useless so it's cool seeing someone who knows every inch of his setup right down to the precise valves in his amp heads.

I like that Zakk refers to Randy Rhaods. Once a Randy fan, ALWAYS a Randy fan. Respect.

What I've come to really respect Zakk is that he actually uses some of his Epiphones live, unlike Slash who only uses them for photos and things like that.

@deadshot4245

and the funny part is those epiphones can take more of a beating than a gibson due to the deisign differences i got a les paul custom that suffered a massive fall and it barely sustained any damage but everything it hit on the way down was fucked up im surprised it didnt turn into a black hole that thing has so much mass

Truth be told Zakk, you sound just as good through your big Marshall or Lee Jackson rigs or just playing through your practice amp - you still, and always will sound like YOU !!!

This video feels so historical with Nick not in the band anymore and Zakk having his own guitar company and not being with Gibson anymore

Great seeing Guitarist using their own signature gear 🔥 and Zakk knowing his pedal board / effect chain - didn’t expect anything else !

Ditched "you know" for "obviously" - this guy is phenomenal.

I think this man would put emgs on the fucking microphone if they let him do it. Anyway, I Love you, Zakk

Zakk is Zakk obviously !

I like that he keeps his rig simple.

Obviously I've never heard anyone say "obviously" so many times in such a shorts space of time, obviously. Great guy and fantastic guitarist.

I understand what he's saying, when one is one with their instrument, what is coming out is pure feeling., so you want that signal loud, pretty,killer, and mean. But with feeling. I know he can play because I seen it first hand and he was one with that guitar, the guitar was an extension of his being. The signal was clean, mean and determined.

I'm still amazed at how much gain Zakk uses and never has had a noise suppressor in his rig.

He doesn't use a power supply for the pedals on the stage (as can be seen on the video). That reduces some noise.

43 "you know"'s and 23 "obviously"'s. I was bored and counted. Sorry...

What a kick ass guitar collection.

Bitchin head and cabs Zakk - your Marshall prototypes seem fucking killer!!! Looking forward to seeing you live this year!!!

You just can't go wrong with his set up. It's reliable & easy to use. I have set up several of the ZW guitars & everyone was spot on, very well made. That Flying V is the best one I've ever seen, Jackson included. It's a V with all the Les Paul Custom appointments, it looks amazing up close & sounds great too. I'm usually critical of Gibson QC, but all of the Zakk instruments I have ever encountered (even the Epi's) were top notch. He's got good taste in gear IMHO.

Two amplifier heads for each guitarist. Two amps gives you a stereo sound instead of a mono sound. Zakk wants a stereo sound for him and Nick. Plus, Zakk is a huge Marshall fan so that is all he uses.

this guy talks about his stuff like a race driver talks about his different setups and chassis. love how serious he takes his signature sound. hands down, one of the greats. he just ain't dead yet for those without ears to hear, to be on board. living legend here, people....

3:47 aannneeeooowwww nnnnneeeeeeoooowwwwww

That is the coolest mic stand I have ever seen.

Zakk Wylde: "Remember kids, less is more" *proceeds to show 12 guitars

We need his signature "Munster Cable" it comes complete with a fire breathing dragon that comes out of your stack.

Randy did use an MXR Analog Delay through one head and a Roland RE-201 Space Echo through another not the Maestro Echoplex. The Space Echo was placed to the left of his custom pedal board and tilted upwards.

I wonder if using the chorus before an ABY switch would accomplish the same thing as the two outputs from the chorus he has?

I wonder if Zakk is running his chorus before the amp or post amp (fx loop)? If anyone knows please tell me. I have the Black Label Chorus pedal. Great pedal!

legend !!

Man, this is the mellowest and nicest I've ever seen this guy! lol

Zakk is Captain Obvious.

Great set

He’s Zakk Wylde. The word “obviously” is now cool to say all the time

Very cool to see the whole rundown! My only question is, where is the razorback?

@turlockca209 It's the wire the frets are made of, you can get diff thicknesses and heights.

Wow! He was buzzzzzed! Lol gotta love him

@STOBEband he got rid of the knows because he never change the settings. the trimpots are all the way up. He said in an interview that his signature OD pedal does not change the tone of the guitar, it only add more gain so that's why he uses that setting.

@Muso57 a lot of times they are. Some people will have a massive wall behind of cabs behind them with heads, and the heads won't be on. There is usually a halfstack in the back that is mic'd up.

The Les Paul with the vertigo finish...I MUST HAVE IT!!!

True words dude!!

Makes sense. Fewer effects means he can appreciate the individual sounds of each instrument.

0:29 i knows he's playing stairway to heaven

That is a boatload of guitars to take out on tour! Zakk could probably send half of them home and still get through a gig ok.

please correct me if im wrong but I counted 29 obviously's in 9 minutes....that takes skill right there.

@adamtheboyfromdenmar LOL? You mean he's using two EVH pedals.The phase and flanger BUT hes using BLS/Zakk Wylde signature chorus,overdrive,wah,Marshall head,Gibson guitars,Dunlop strings and picks.What part of the video were you watching?

I would love to own one of Zakks signature amps and those bad ass guitars 🎶🎸👍. Did I just win the prize?

What I found strange in this rig rundown is that he didn't show his Dean Dime Razorback, for "In This River". But well, it is sure somewhere between those myriads of guitars.

Your right Zack less is more 🤘💀🤘

@GhostmakerX a while back i was drinking with my mates and BLS was playing the background, we would drink every time Zakk played a pinch harmonic. such a messy night :S

What is that riff at the beginning? it is such a cool riff!

Obviosly how can somebody not obviously love Zakk ..😂!!!! ❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤟🤘🤟🤘🤟🤘

He plays the stuff he endorses...thats special.

I like how Zakk talks about Randy Rhoads in this video.

FUCK YEAH!! BRISTOL!!!

It must be nice having the “brands” you love, come to you wanting to build you things with your name on it.

now that i think of it everything seems so OBVIOUS with Zakk Wylde

I hope they still produce this amp even tho Jim died

i could be wrong but i think zakk was on blow during this whole video

Zakk has the best looking double neck ! \m/

@271189a Not on this tour he used the piano for In This River so he didnt need it :)

He's a fucking legend!

@JerryBeatFreak Should check out Zakk's former tech Justin Manning. Worked for Zakk for several years, on the first string of Ozzfest tours etc. His band is up and coming ..called Crowned By Fire.

what's the song at the beginning?

Mr. Consistency. I've never seen the knobs on a pedal capped off before. Lotta players mark them or tape them off. He knows what he likes and keeps it that way.

11 years ago. I was hype for one of those Marshall heads. They go for 20k now if you can find someone who’s selling

@transam6x6 yes he does

Sick ass guitars

@Mastercrz in a video i saw he took em off coz he kept moving them by acident on stage but each knob is set on max then with some stoppers so they dont move :)

at 3:44 what song does he say that randy used it on? I couldn't make it out

@james21792lol where can i buy stoppers like that ? what is it called ?

when he says shave back of the neck??? wonder if he means just removing the paint ?? or removing paint an alittle wood also

EPIC beer gut :D Love zakk :)

I go out of six head but two ok maybe four I use three tubes per one head that separates the noise into four distinct sound effects that are not working on my hand and the other two large ones are in a holding temperature so it will get better with it and then I’ll be able to put them on my side and get back with the rest of my head and let me see what I can get done.

what is the song that is playing at the beginning?

@mikeymike5p9 there jsut some rubber plugs wont cost alot just finding the right size
