Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No exact amp model or numeric knob settings found in sources; amp and settings estimated based on Zakk Wylde's typical tones, amp type, and era.
  • ⚠️All electric tones on Book of Shadows II (including 'Lost Prayer' solo) used Wylde Audio Odin guitar and Wylde Audio amp prototypes per direct interview.
  • ⚠️Phaser, wah, and Uni-Vibe/Rotovibe effects explicitly mentioned by Zakk Wylde for this record; exact pedal models not specified.
  • ⚠️Settings estimated based on typical Wylde Audio/Marshall-style high-gain amp usage for melodic rock solos.
  • ⚠️Pickup selector inferred as bridge based on solo tone and Wylde's typical lead setup.
  • ⚠️No evidence of delay or chorus in solo; phaser and wah are confirmed by source and audible in recording.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Zakk Wylde's solo tone on 'Lost Prayer' is saturated and singing but not overly scooped, reflecting his typical high-gain Marshall/Blackstar setup with mids pushed for cut and clarity. The low reverb keeps the lead tight and upfront, while presence and treble are boosted for articulation without harshness.
