“This amp exists for one reason – to put my real tone in a box… No watered-down version, no extra junk”: Zakk Wylde’s signature Berzerker amp is here and it is a vicious 50-watter weighing under 5lbs

Zakk Wylde is bathed in red light and shreds onstage – an inset picture of his new signature tube amp, one in black, one limited edition version in purple.

There’s purple smoke arising from Wylde Audio HQ. It’s official. Zakk Wylde’s signature guitar amp, the Berzerker, has arrived, and it sounds just as we expected – and yet is nothing like we imagined.

Yes, it’s a Zakk Wylde signature amp, which means you’ve got that gnarly juicy midrange, an abundant level of gain, the kind of tonal profile that’ll have the pinched harmonics squealing out of the speaker.
