Wylde believes in the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” approach and his band's ninth album doesn’t venture into uncharted territory—it’s business as usual, kicking major ass.

PG's Joe Coffey is On Location in Chicago, IL, where he catches
up with Black Label Society's guitarist, Nick Catanese. In this video
segment, we talk all things gear, Nick's beliefs on effects and his big
move from Washburn to PRS. Recently, Nick has started using PRS guitars
and later this year they'll be coming out with his signature model that
will feature a double-cutaway, a Floyd Rose trem and EMG pickups. For
amps, in BLS he uses Marshall heads and cabs from Zakk Wylde's Wall of
Doom and for his own project Speed X he uses Fuchs Viper 100 heads and
Electro Voice cabinets. For effects, he uses his signature Fuchs
distortion pedal, the Noxious, a Dunlop Rotovibe, BOSS Stereo Chorus,
Dunlop wah wah and Morley Bad Horsey.
