The Ozzy Osbourne guitar tone for “Perry Mason”, dialed in for a Marshall DSL100hr with a Gibson Les Paul Modern. Studio version, Ozzmosis (1995)
Gibson Les Paul Custom (EMG 81/85) into Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive pushing Marshall JCM800 2203 with Dunlop Wah and Boss CH-1 Chorus

01Dunlop Crybaby From Hell Wah
Engage during the solo and expressive fills; set internal boost on if you want extra push into the amp input
02Overdrive (Boss SD-1 / TS-style)
RECOMMENDED — not owned (classic Zakk tight boost: Drive 0, Level 10 to tighten low end and juice harmonics)
The DSL100HR's Ultra Gain OD1 channel delivers the cascaded Marshall preamp saturation of Zakk's cranked 2203. Since your Les Paul Modern has passive Burstbucker pickups instead of Zakk's hot, compressed active EMG 81, we run the amp gain at 7 with mids slightly pushed to preserve punch and pinch-harmonic squeal. Set the Resonance knob on your DSL100HR to 6 to dial in the heavy low-end thud of the dropped riff without flubbing out.
