A Limited MXR Overdrive, Built for Zakk Wylde’s Heaviest Tones

UPDATE: The limited-edition Wylde Audio Zakk Sabbath Overdrive sold out within hours of launch. But fear not! The standard production unit with the same internal circuity is still available. Grab a MXR WA44 Wylde Audio Overdrive instead.

When Zakk Wylde plugs in, subtlety isn’t exactly the goal—and the new MXR Wylde Audio Zakk Sabbath Overdrive leans all the way into that philosophy.

This limited-edition release—exclusive to Reverb and capped at just 250 units—puts a fresh spin on Zakk’s go-to overdrive, wrapped in a finish inspired by his Zakk Sabbath project, a full-throttle homage to Black Sabbath.

Inside, it’s all business. The same tried-and-true circuit is tuned for Zakk’s signature sound: thick, aggressive rhythm tones and soaring leads with sustain that just keeps going. Run it into a dirty amp, crank the Gain, and you’re in full-on scream territory.

The control layout keeps things simple—Output, Tone, Gain—so there’s nothing between you and dialing in that heavy, chunky crunch.

Each unit is autographed, making this as much a collector’s piece as it is a stage-ready weapon. If you’re chasing Zakk’s relentless riff energy, this one won’t stick around for long. Watch the video above to hear it in action, and get your own here on Reverb.
