A QUICK ZAKK WYLDE RIG RUNDOWN WITH STEPHEN MURILLO, ZAKK'S GUITAR TECH FOR THE PAST DECADE

- NICK BOWCOTT

“I’D SAY 95 percent of Zakk’s rig with Pantera is what he records and tours with all the time,” says Stephen Murillo, Zakk Wylde’s longtime guitar tech. “Zakk has a signature sound, and everyone knows it. So wherever he goes, that’s what he brings. When you see him live, he gives you exactly what you’re expecting.”

Here’s the gear Wylde has been using for the Pantera shows so far:

• Two 100-watt Wylde Audio tube heads (one black vinyl, one white) running in stereo via an MXR ZW38 Black Label Chorus

• 4x12 cabinets with Electro-Voice EVM12L Black Label speakers
