PRELOVED MXR Zakk Wylde Overdrive Pedal
The MXR Zakk Wylde Overdrive is a tough, no-nonsense overdrive pedal built for big riffs, tight rhythm work and screaming lead boosts. Designed around Zakk Wylde’s heavy, aggressive playing style, it is made to push an amp harder while keeping the tone focused and punchy.
Use it as a main overdrive into a clean or edge-of-breakup amp, or place it in front of a dirty amp to tighten the low end, add attack and push solos forward. Simple controls make it easy to dial in, while the classic MXR build keeps it pedalboard-ready.

Why Players Like It
The Zakk Wylde Overdrive is popular because it gives you that classic hard-rock trick: tighten the amp, add sustain, and make leads jump out without turning the whole rig to mush. With the gain set lower and the output pushed, it is excellent for boosting high-gain amps. With the gain turned up, it delivers a crunchy, aggressive overdrive voice with plenty of attitude.
