He didnt want anyone to know, so we blacked out the fronts of the Aphex units in his rigs so you couldnt see them in his racks. In both his studio and live rigs, we used the Aphex units between the preamps and the power amps. In an interview with Premier Guitar, creator of the GP-1000 preamp shed some light on Zakk Wyldes early rack setup and the inclusion of the Aphex Aural Exciter. This consisted primarily of a Metaltronix GP-1000 all-tube rack preamp, as well as an Aphex Aural Exciter in to a Metaltronix SP-1000 power amp, as seen below. Not many people realise that, before he moved to the GibsonMarshall combo he became renowned for, Zakk Wylde recorded his first album with Ozzy Osbourne, No Rest for the Wicked using a bunch of rack gear. While he began his career with Ozzy Osbourne playing his famous Bulls Eye Les Paul Custom with EMG pickups he didnt begin with a Marshall back line. The launch of his own company, Wylde Audio, in 2015 and the split from Gibson and Marshall have signalled probably the biggest changes to Wyldes tool kit since he first launched his career with Ozzy Osbourne in the 1980s.
