Thanks for asking about the amps, I've been ready to get one since he showed them at NAMM years ago. Doesn't sound like there is much hope though. Oh well. Thanks for the interview!
I was hoping he'd do like EVH did with the Iconic series and make a dumbed down affordable version. If you could price these babies at around a grand, I think you could sell a ton of em.
Sounds like it’s an unlikely thing now given the digital age, but I’d buy a 20w version if they were to come out with it. I think that’s more affordable and practical for most bedroom guitarist.
I’ll special order if I have to. If you don’t want it then don’t buy it…. At least gives us true zakk fans a chance to buy it! The rest of us who missed the Moscow peace fest. Give the guys who love him(zakk) a chance to try to relive that moment
Get a Ceriatone 800 clone dirt cheap. Same amp, well built in Vietnam. The dude at Ceriatone has his business model dialed in tight. Great amps at a great price.
Those are cool shirts u guys are wearing iam old school 64 i own one modeling amp the rest are tube and 4x12 cabs and my old crate solid state gx160 i could not live with out pushing air the market is full of so many modeling amps ,profiling, capturing, I am still looking forward to buying a PA so i can record a little 😀 😂
I bought my 78 JMP 2203 for 550 bucks back in 98. Looking back at all those heads back then that were dirt cheap. 5150s, 800s, Plexis, etc. If only we had known.
20 years ago I spent my hard earned money on a decent cab and head (peavy xxx). It is sitting next to my desk and hasnt really been played in years. I just picked up a fractal FM3 with some studio monitors and holy shit I can dial in any tone I want now. I still love tube amps but Ill be damned if the fractal is 10x more convenient and sounds just as good.
I don't think they will ever sell it, if they do it will be 3500 $ and people will buy used 2203 instead, and like he said a lot of players are using digital now.
Yeah, sadly I don’t know how many people will buy tube amps as much so Zakk has a good point. Although a wylde audio combo amp that shreds would be awesome!
**** I respect and have always liked ZW. His Wylde Audio stuff is cool, but seeing a modern Gibson, Epiphone LP Bullseye would be sick imo. Access cut, new colors, standard/limited runs.
Big tube amps aren't fun at home, sadly...Owned many, never could dial them up beyond '1', basically. That's just for the sake of my own hearing, not even considering the neighbours yet.
I bet the number one reason most people are going with the fractal, quad cortex etc is the cost of shipping that rigs around the world. Im no expert though. I would rather play through heads and cabs as well.
You can push air with modeling setups too. Pushing air refers to a cab and speakers, which you can do with a modeler and power amp into cab. It’s silly to even bring up
Not that silly because many Artists using modelers today don’t have a single cab on stage. They are just going to the house PA speakers. I’m use a kemper and run it thru cabs. Totally different tone and vibe 👍🎸🎸🎸
Rick Beato said something profound worth thinking about. Talking era's 60's/70/80/90 etc Rock n roll, hard rock, grunge, hair band, etc. What exactly is the current era ? Cookie cutter copy cat world artificial intelligence era ? Then I suppose a copy of an amplifier seems appropriate. But let's see what develops from this.
@@erickaufmancustomguitars1351 Cookie cutter copycat era? That's awful negative. How about the next awesome step forward? I'm sure when we went from orchestration to amplification people were upset, as people will be, but amplification was pretty awesome. We are now in the next golden age of guitar. I have a dozen different tube amps including an Orange Rockerverb, Marshall JCM 800, Soldano SLO 100, MESA Dual Rectifier, Blackstar Series One, and EVH 5150 to name a few. I have boxes of pedals to the point where I use pedals as doorstops in my house. Now, since I bought my Fender TMP, I'm wondering will I ever use any of that stuff again, and the answer is probably not. I get better tones from my TMP than I do from my amps, without any of the problems associated with amps. With modeling, I have access to dozens upon dozens of amplifiers and hundreds of effects. I can create chains of effects without cables and batteries and all the other hassles. Last night, I spent thirty dollars and instantly had access to over one hundred different mic'd speaker cabinet options. Soon, we will be able to create our own amplifiers and effects, so musicians can really create the sound they hear in their heads. It's not cookie cutter copying. It's the next great thing, and it's only going to get better. 😇
It appears to only be available at Zakk Sabbath live shows at the moment but hopefully they will start offering them soon. They were $90 each at the merch booth 🎸🎸🎸🎸
He's only made one mistake, believing that guitar players are logical. Most players will never play a gig but still buy at least one stack and multiple heads just to run them through an attenuator. Guitar players live to throw money away so he would have mild success with limited runs. I honestly hope that half and full stacks make a return to live music; just seeing dudes on stage with wireless instruments makes me feel like I'm at a One Direction concert. Amps give stage presence, especially when you get the stage sound in the first few rows.
The entire concept of his brand doesn't make sense. Nobody who isn't a dedicated Zakk fanboy would want something that's completely inseparable from his goofball fake Southern wannabe-viking biker image and public persona. Have you ever seen anybody play a Wylde Audio guitar on a stage, in public? They're the equivalent of the ass-ugly Paul Stanley Washburn and Silvertone signature guitars. Nobody except Stanley ever played any of those in public, they all hang in fat, middle-aged, white men's "Kiss Kaves". Plenty of professional musicians played some of the EVH guitars over the years - because apart from the "Frankenstrat" and Kramer-inspired ones, they don't look too "personalised". And the design doesn't look like something straight from the mind of a "Masters Of The Universe"-obsessed 12-year-old. Why the hell would anybody buy a fugly, overprized, slightly modded JCM 800? Get a real used Marshall and have it converted to 6550s. Or don't - because it makes no difference whatsoever when most of your sound comes out of EMGs into a 9V stomp box, anyway. People who still use 100W tube amps and 4x12 cabs professionally and are willing to eat the transportation costs/hassles for it, would never be seen on stage with something that looks so "personalised" for another player with an extremely "specific" (ahemm...) image.
You should send your resume to Wylde Audio. You know the ins and outs of the market and are clearly in tune with what everyone wants. Hell, you even know exactly what touring professionals want and all the way down to what bedroom guitarist need. You can even give your input into the amp circuit and how they need to be modded. YOU'RE A TRIPLE THREAT asset. They'd be a fool to pass on you. Good luck!
Thanks for asking about the amps, I've been ready to get one since he showed them at NAMM years ago. Doesn't sound like there is much hope though. Oh well. Thanks for the interview!
its just a JCM 800
Hottodded jcm 800. Not stock 800
@Bigboybooya666 the only thing different about his is that he uses 6550 power tubes instead of EL34
I was hoping he'd do like EVH did with the Iconic series and make a dumbed down affordable version. If you could price these babies at around a grand, I think you could sell a ton of em.
He's probably right. Not many people are buying hundred watt amps
Very few people need a 100 watt amp. Very few people need a 30 watt amp. Ninety percent of people need no more than 10 watt amps.
This day and age you can have variable power output.
Sounds like it’s an unlikely thing now given the digital age, but I’d buy a 20w version if they were to come out with it. I think that’s more affordable and practical for most bedroom guitarist.
My 2500 was 50w with a half power switch. Best of both worlds.
Digital modeling is the future. Everyone might as well get on board.
I think the swag is purple for Master of reality they look deadly.
I’ll special order if I have to. If you don’t want it then don’t buy it…. At least gives us true zakk fans a chance to buy it! The rest of us who missed the Moscow peace fest. Give the guys who love him(zakk) a chance to try to relive that moment
Get a Ceriatone 800 clone dirt cheap. Same amp, well built in Vietnam. The dude at Ceriatone has his business model dialed in tight. Great amps at a great price.
I wouldn't call $1,400 dirt cheap. Bugera had it down with their clone, but soon as Glenn Fricker did his video on that amp, they tripled in price.
Malaysia*. Thats where ceriatone is from. They do a great job

Modded marshalls are huge now. A collab with Friedman would be sick.
where do we get the Zakk Sabbath flannel! Thats bad ass and not on his site!
Make the amp/cab combo, Zakk, and price it accordingly. It's a ONCE IN A LIFETIME purchase.
I don't think they will ever sell it, if they do it will be 3500 $ and people will buy used 2203 instead, and like he said a lot of players are using digital now.
Not enough people willing to just drop 3 large on an amp anymore without a cabinet that's still extra
I felt like I got an amazing deal on the under represented Laney Ironheart 120, with cab, for about $2,200-$2,300. I love the sound it gives the most.
Yeah, sadly I don’t know how many people will buy tube amps as much so Zakk has a good point. Although a wylde audio combo amp that shreds would be awesome!
Good info thanks
Make a deal with Neural DSP and release them as a plug in. Day one purchase
A plug-in of what? A JCM 800? Don't those already exist? Why would they pay him for that?
@ for the same reason they paid all the other guitarists for the archetype series which are all based on amps that already exist
**** I respect and have always liked ZW. His Wylde Audio stuff is cool, but seeing a modern Gibson, Epiphone LP Bullseye would be sick imo. Access cut, new colors, standard/limited runs.
Still not clear tho 😁
The only solution is both. Big tube amps at home for fun. And light weight travel rigs for gigs
Big tube amps aren't fun at home, sadly...Owned many, never could dial them up beyond '1', basically. That's just for the sake of my own hearing, not even considering the neighbours yet.

It does seem that way but maybe we can find a happy balance😬👍 I definitely think there is a time and place for both options 🎸🎸🎸

So are we going to get some practice amps or what?
I’d love to see some too! Dimes estate is doing it with the new warhead 40 watt heads. I could totally see some like that for Zakks line 🎸🎸🎸
@MastersofShred yea it would be great to have an affordable jcm800 type amp that fans and all guitar players could obtain.
Where can we buy the purple flanel?
It appears to only be available at Zakk Sabbath live shows at the moment but hopefully they will start offering them soon. They were $90 each at the merch booth 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Awesome! Price is fair, love the PURPLE..my fav color, thanks, and great interview
I regret selling muh jcm800. Smgdh.
If uncle zakk starts makin ptactice amps are im definitely buying one
Same here! I’d love to have one in our Shred Den!🎸🎸🎸
Digital and modeling suck!
Make it happen, Zakk! 🤘
How about a 50 watt like my 77 2204

I'd rather play through the half stack. Than a DAW....
Amp modellers aren't DAWs.
he's probably regretting throwing away his endorsements with gibson and marshall now.
Something tells me he is doing more than fine with Wylde Audio ;) 👍🎸🎸
Just get a Marshall.
OK for Zakk. For us guys who don't play live or stadiums, we will not buy a head, a cabinet, endless pedal$. Niche market now, tube, cabinet, etc.
nobody wants zakks amps or guitars, they are just total junkers. 😂

U ok bro?
Amen! I have been using modelers for quite a while now and a friend of mine recently moved to an FM9
