The Wild Collection – Rig Library for THU is Overloud’s latest addition crafted to recreate the signature sound of Zakk Wylde*.

This pack includes:

• 77 captured rigs featuring multiple amplifiers
• 50 custom patches covering Zakk Wylde's tones from No Rest for the Wicked through the Engines of Demolition era.
• Wild Overdrive, modeled after his legendary MXR Berzerker Overdrive*
• The Symphonic 90 effect, now extended with the "Miracle Mode", modeled after the Symphonic patch of the SPX90 rack effect.
• 10 additional effects

90 AND WILD OVERDRIVE

The Symphonic 90 is a brand new effect in THU designed to recreate the famous Symphonic patch from the SPX 90 rack, extensively used by Zakk to create his signature chorused tones. It delivers a heavily modulated, “liquid” sound that is unmistakable in his high-gain tones. The effect also features “Miracle Mode,” which, when enabled, takes the sound a step further by incorporating the post-processing techniques typically used by the artist, bringing you even closer to his signature tone.

The Wild Distortion authentically recreates the tone of the Berzerker* Overdrive (ZW44) pedal with all its nuances. The sound is muscular, aggressive, and perfectly tailored to push a valve amplifier into heavy rock and metal territory. It cuts through the mix with a sharp focus on the mid frequencies, which is essential to Zakk's signature tone.

A THU Essential license is also included. This means that by purchasing the library you will also receive the plugin needed to play it.

CAPTURED GEAR LIST

The pack has been created by capturing the following gear*:

Amplifiers

• Lee Jackson* GP-1000: Pays homage to Zakk’s early signature tones, particularly around the No Rest for the Wicked era. At the time, Wylde’s rig was heavily rack-based and designed by Lee Jackson.
• Marshall* Silver Jubilee: Wylde used a Silver Jubilee during the late 1980s, particularly around the No Rest for the Wicked era with Ozzy Osbourne.
• Marshall* JCM800 2203: Zakk started using the JCM800 2203 when he joined Ozzy Osbourne after the Lee Jackson period. This signature sound is brutally loud, simple, and consistent.
• Marshall* JCM800 ZW Signature: This is a high-octane reimagining of the legendary 2203 head, specifically tailored to the aggressive, pinch-harmonic-laden style of Zakk. Released in 2002 as a limited edition of only 600 units worldwide, this "Berserker" beast distinguishes itself from the standard 800 by swapping the traditional EL34 power tubes for a quartet of 6550 tubes.
