Zakk Wylde's winter 2024 Pantera rig is five pedals on stage — a Wylde Audio Cry Baby, a Dunlop Rotovibe, a Wylde Audio Phase, an MXR Carbon Copy and a Wylde Audio Overdrive — plus an MXR Smart Gate and an always-on chorus in the offstage rack.

## Signal chain

**Order evidence — Reconstructed.** No source publishes this sequence; the order is reconstructed. The units are evidenced; their sequence is the archive's inference from the convention below, not an observation. Do not report this order as documented.

Reconstruction convention: Tuner → Wah and filter → Compressor → Overdrive, distortion and fuzz → Modulation → Delay → Reverb → Amplifier. A documented routing zone always overrides it.

| # | Unit | Role | Zone | Unit evidence | Position evidence | Catalog page |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Wylde Audio Cry Baby Wah | Starts the front path with Wylde's signature wah voice. | Front of amp | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/cry-baby-wah/ |
| 2 | Dunlop ZW357 Rotovibe | Adds treadle-controlled modulation after wah. | Front of amp | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/dunlop-zw357-rotovibe/ |
| 3 | MXR Wylde Audio Phase | Provides the signature phasing stage. | Front of amp | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/mxr-wylde-audio-phase/ |
| 4 | MXR Carbon Copy | Adds short analog delay between phase and overdrive. | Front of amp | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/mxr-carbon-copy/ |
| 5 | MXR Wylde Audio Overdrive | Pushes the high-gain amplifier input with focused overdrive. | Front of amp | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/mxr-wylde-audio-overdrive/ |
| 6 | MXR Smart Gate | Controls noise in the offstage portion of the rig. | Rack insert | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/mxr-smart-gate/ |
| 7 | MXR Wylde Audio Chorus | Runs always on in the offstage rack to widen the amplifier sound. | Rack insert | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/mxr-wylde-audio-chorus/ |

## Reconstruction note

Premier Guitar visually verifies the five stage pedals plus the two rack pedals. Sweetwater independently publishes the core order and identifies Carbon Copy between phase and overdrive; the exact Smart Gate insertion point is not exposed, so the complete stage-to-rack display remains reconstructed.

## Questions

### What pedals did Zakk Wylde use in 2024?

This dated entry lists 7 units: Wylde Audio Cry Baby Wah, Dunlop ZW357 Rotovibe, MXR Wylde Audio Phase, MXR Carbon Copy, MXR Wylde Audio Overdrive, MXR Smart Gate, MXR Wylde Audio Chorus. This is the recorded inventory, not a claim that every connection or model identification is confirmed; see the evidence and routing notes.

### What order were Zakk Wylde's pedals in?

The complete order is reconstructed, not observed. The layout follows the cited routing constraints and the archive's signal-chain convention where the sources are silent. See the diagram and routing notes for the separate paths and any unconfirmed connections.

### Is this Zakk Wylde's full guitar rig?

No. This dated entry covers 7 units in the effects path, not every piece of gear Zakk Wylde owned or used. Floor pedals, rack units and routing devices are included only where recorded; omitted equipment and uncertain connections are explained in the notes. It is not a complete or current rig inventory.

### When and where was this pedalboard used?

Winter 2024 tour. Premier Guitar Rig Rundown. This is the rig documented for that touring period, not a career-wide gear list.

### How does the archive know what was on this pedalboard?

2 cited sources, listed above with the date each was read, including Premier Guitar, Sweetwater. Among them a rig rundown and a written article. The units are recorded as reconstructed equipment, and the page was last audited on 2026-08-03.
