MXR unleashes Limited Edition Wylde Audio Zakk Sabbath Overdrive
Key Points
MXR Limited Edition Wylde Audio Zakk Sabbath Overdrive — a purple-sparkle, signed-ish variant celebrating Zakk Wylde’s Black Sabbath cover band (since 2014). Special finish inspired by the Berzerker’s tribute band Zakk Sabbath.
Controls: Output, Tone, Gain. Simple three‑knob layout, custom built for Zakk’s riffs and leads; based on the Boss SD‑1 and intended to go into the front of an already cooking amp to deliver a heavy, chunky crunch.
As of 2026-07-13, the price was $170 in the USA. As of 2026-07-13, the price was £175 in the UK.
Somewhat unbeknownst to me - Zakk Wylde has had his own Black Sabbath cover band since 2014. This particular Overdrive release celebrates that facet of Zakk’s musicality - and delivers a suitably chunky crunchy sound!
Controls - Output, Tone, Gain.
I believe these are all signed by Zakk Wylde himself, and are available for a pretty decent price - $170 in the USA, and £175 in the UK - available from your usual Jim Dunlop / MXR stockists.
It comes in a really attractive purple sparkle enclosure!
Key Features :
- Special finish inspired by the Berzerker’s tribute band Zakk Sabbath
- Custom built for Zakk’s relentless riffs and leads
- Simple three-knob layout so you can concentrate on kicking ass
- Transform your amp into a heavy, chunky crunch machine
I believe this is just a limited variant of Zakk Wylde’s regular MXR x Wylde Audio Overdrive - which funnily is based on the Boss SD-1 - so this is seemingly just another spin of that! And intended for going into the front of an already cooking amp!
