Zakk Wylde doesn't do subtle. So when he needed a pedal that could keep up with his face-melting riffs and leads, the Wylde Audio Overdrive was born — loud, relentless, and built to inflict maximum sonic damage.
Now, in tribute to Zakk Sabbath, his all-in homage to the godfathers of heavy metal, Dunlop has dropped this limited-edition version of the WA44ZS dressed in a finish as bold as the music it's meant for. Same guts. New attitude. Zero chill.
Tone That Hits Hard and Hits Heavy
If your amp has been feeling a little too polite lately, this pedal is the intervention it desperately needs. The WA44ZS delivers the kind of thick, chunky crunch that rattles walls and makes your neighbors question their life choices. Zakk built this pedal to stack in front of a dirty amp and chase those screaming lead tones with sustain that seemingly never ends — because in Zakk's world, if your sustain dies before your coffee gets cold, that's a personal failure.
Loud, Relentless Gain: Engineered for Zakk's signature playing style, this overdrive pumps out high-gain tones with enough aggression to handle everything from crushing rhythm work to soaring, face-melting leads.
Thick, Chunky Crunch: Stack it in front of a driven amp and watch it morph into a bone-crushing crunch machine — the kind of tone that makes an audience involuntarily nod their heads.
Screaming Sustain: Notes don't just ring out — they refuse to leave. Expect sustain for days.
Controls So Simple, Even Zakk Uses Them
There's a beauty to simplicity, especially when you're mid-show and your brain is already three songs ahead. The WA44ZS keeps the control layout clean and fast with just three knobs — Output, Tone, and Gain — so you spend less time tweaking and more time doing what actually matters: playing really loud.
3-Knob Control Layout: Output, Tone, and Gain. That's it. Refreshingly no-nonsense for a pedal that sounds anything but.
Fast, Intuitive Setup: Dial in your sound in seconds. No menus, no deep dives, no reading a 47-page manual — just plug in and crank it.
Works Great in Front of a Dirty Amp: This pedal is happiest when it's pushing an already-driven amp over the edge. Think of it as the final nudge your amp needed to fully commit to chaos.
A Finish Worthy of the Berzerker Himself
The Zakk Sabbath Limited Edition finish is a visual nod to one of metal's most dedicated tribute acts — Zakk's own all-star homage to Black Sabbath. It's got the look of a guy who shows up to a Sabbath show in full battle gear — because you should.
Limited Edition Zakk Sabbath Finish: Inspired by Zakk's iconic tribute band, this special design is bold, unapologetic, and not even a little bit for the faint of heart.
Collector-Worthy Aesthetic: This isn't just a working pedal — it's a piece of metal history in a limited run. Once it's gone, it's gone. Like your hearing after a Zakk Wylde show.
Same Internals as the Original WA44: Under the hood, it's the same high-performance circuit Zakk relies on night after night. The look changed; the carnage didn't.
The Pedal That Out-Metals Everything Else
The Dunlop WA44ZS Wylde Audio Zakk Sabbath Limited Edition Overdrive Pedal is one part tone weapon, one part tribute, and one hundred percent metal. Whether you're building the heaviest pedalboard of your life or chasing Zakk's signature wall-of-sound tone, this pedal delivers exactly what it promises — loud, relentless, and with enough gain to wake the dead. And considering who inspired it, that feels entirely appropriate.
It's a limited-edition overdrive pedal from Dunlop's Wylde Audio line, custom built to Zakk Wylde's tone specifications and dressed in a special finish inspired by his Black Sabbath tribute band, Zakk Sabbath. It delivers high-gain overdrive tones built specifically for heavy riffs and sustained leads.
The core circuit is identical to the original Wylde Audio Overdrive — same tone, same performance. The WA44ZS stands apart with its limited-edition Zakk Sabbath-themed finish, making it a collector's piece as much as a working pedal.
Absolutely. It was purpose-built for high-gain, heavy playing — thick crunch, brutal sustain, and the kind of lead tone that carries from the front row to the back of the room. It's designed to push a dirty amp into full-on monster territory.
Plug it in front of your amp, set your Output, Tone, and Gain to taste, and let it rip. Zakk himself favors running it into an already-driven amp to kick his leads into screaming, high-sustain mode — a technique that works exactly as well as it sounds.
Yes, it's a limited production run, so availability won't last forever. Once stock is gone, it's gone, which makes it both a serious tone tool and a smart buy for collectors of Zakk Wylde or Black Sabbath memorabilia.
