![]() Robert: How will the amps and guitars be priced? When I designed these guitars I wanted those same big blocks. The inlays are extra big because I remember Django Reinhardt’s jazz guitars had the big block inlay and thought they looked killer. ![]() These are ebony fret boards, maple necks, maple tops and mahogany bodies. They’re all designed by me from the wood to the shape of the pickups to the hardware. Zakk Wylde: I have the Viking V and the War Hammer and the Odin. Robert: I wasn’t expecting that you would have guitars under the Wylde Audio umbrella, they look great. ![]() Robert: What are you packing in the cabs? The mids are better and bottoms even tighter. To have the fidelity bigger and fatter with shimmering highs. The whole point is the worst you want it to be is as good as your best amp. Zakk Wylde: I’ll be using them on my next CD. Robert: Do you foresee this equipment changing and improving your tones on future BLS CDs? I’m sure there will be some tweaks here and there, but so far they sound great! Zakk Wylde: No, this is the first I have seen them. Robert: Did you road test these amps making improvements as you went along? Zakk Wylde: Once we go into production, I’ll retire my Les Pauls’, my Marshalls’ and my Gibsons’ and just be playing my Wylde Audio equipment. Robert: Will you be taking these on the road with you on your next tour? Zakk Wylde: When I first started with Ozzy, I would do the whole thing of rack effects, and I would joke that I had $10,000 of effects to sound like one really good amp! This is the really good amp. Robert: Do you see the future of these amps getting more technical with tone modeling? There are two guitar sounds “clean” and “dirty.” I don’t drink anymore, but I do sniff a lot of glue, take steroids and use the K im Kardashian Quick Trim Kit, so after the third batch of that, when I can’t remember my name and plug in my guitar – I can’t mess things up. Some amps out there are so technical you press a button and find yourself in another dimension. ![]() #ZAKK WYLDE AUDIO GUITARS TV#Like with your TV remote, you can turn the TV on, off, or change the channels. Zakk Wylde: For me it’s all about simplicity, like with the amp names “Wylde Audio Master 100” is the 100W head and the 50W head is the “Wylde Audio Master 50.” Robert: Tell me a little about what makes these amps different? The sky’s the limit we are looking to improve everything. Wylde Audio is anything audio, not just guitars and amps it can be studio output gear, microphones, or a Pro-Tools plug-ins. Marshall and Gibson are still my family I’ve been with them forever. The next logical step would be a team owner. If I played for the Yankees, after a while I would want to be a coach, after that I would want to be a General Manger. Robert: Congratulations on starting your own brand of guitars and amps – Wylde Audio, tell me how it all came about. It was also an incredible experience to watch Zakk play his new gear while savoring every note like a proud father! Not only did I get to meet one of my guitar heroes, but I came out a wiser man from all his “Zakkisms.” It’s quite clear that Zakk poured his heart and soul into this new venture and like everything he does, it will be a success!ĭuring our meeting, I was able to try out some of his guitars and amps. Zakk’s business strategy for success is equally as simple – “Beat the crap out of competition.” Zakk left out no detail overlooked on these guitars, from the big block inlays to the EMG pick-ups to the quality of the wood and their unique designs. #ZAKK WYLDE AUDIO GUITARS FULL#The new Wylde Audio guitars have a full rich sound with great tone and attack. To explain – Wylde Audio Amps sound great as soon as you plug them in, without the need to rummage through a manual. ![]() It’s an idea where simplicity rules the day – from the product names to their ease of use. Wylde Audio is the brainchild of the former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist and founder of Black Label Society. My mission…to have Zakk give me the scoop on his newest business endeavor – Wylde Audio! Zakk had been meeting with the press to promote his new line of guitars and amps. At a super secret location on the outskirts of Anaheim, California, far away from the hustle and bustle of the NAMM convention center, I was driven by limo to a hotel room where Zakk Wylde had been held up most of the day. ![]()
