The MXR WA44ZS effects pedal gives the guitar a distinct heavy metal character, with a design that draws directly on the world of Zakk Sabbath and the legacy of Black Sabbath, making it an accessory that certainly doesn’t go unnoticed on a pedalboard. Its streamlined interface combines the Output, Tone and Gain controls, allowing you to quickly adjust the level, frequency balance and intensity of the overdrive – an effective solution for both thick rhythm tracks and distorted solos that require bite and sustain.

Presentation
This MXR WA44ZS overdrive pedal delivers a dense saturation designed for heavy riffs, with gain that can range from a grainy boost to a powerful attack depending on how your amp responds and your playing style.
Its design features a simple layout, with Output, Tone and Gain controls to cover the essential settings for a heavy metal overdrive, whilst the footswitch allows you to toggle between the effect and bypass; a red LED clearly indicates when it is active whilst playing, responding directly to variations in attack.
Its EQ control shapes the character of the overdrive: turning it clockwise boosts brightness, whilst turning it anticlockwise produces a warmer tone, allowing you to shape the signal’s presence with just a few controls on your pedalboard.
The Output control adjusts the overall volume of the effect and makes it easy to integrate into an existing guitar signal chain, with an intuitive design to maintain a controlled level on a day-to-day basis within an already configured pedalboard.
The tone is geared towards thick rhythm parts and distorted leads, with enough headroom for crisp attacks, powerful chords and sustained melodic lines, ensuring the guitar remains prominent in the mix without requiring a multitude of foot-operated controls.
Zakk Wylde is directly associated with this musical identity, following his work with Ozzy Osbourne and the subsequent development of Black Label Society, where his playing blends hard rock and heavy metal with a strong personality and a signature sound that is instantly recognisable to fans of heavy riffs.
The name Zakk Sabbath refers to the tribute project dedicated to Black Sabbath and spearheaded by Zakk Wylde, with a distinct artistic identity rather than merely a graphic design directly linked to his distinctive musical and visual world.
The special finish echoes this visual aesthetic associated with Zakk Sabbath, with controls focused on grain, level and saturation, creating a pedal suited to both metal and rock for those seeking a thick, expressive saturation, with a bold aesthetic that stands out on stage, in rehearsal or in the studio.

To find out more...
In a heavy metal-oriented setup, this pedal can serve as the primary source of distortion for tight riffs, with a moderate gain setting that enhances chord articulation and a higher gain setting designed for crisp attacks and thick rhythm parts.
Placed before an amp that is already overdriven, it can also boost the density of a lead line and extend its sustain, with the Tone control used to match the brightness to the character of the amp – ideal for passages where the guitar needs to gain presence without changing the entire rig.
