Notes

Live rig for Ozzy Osbourne solo tours, specifically 1981-1982 era. Settings and effects are for live solo sections, not studio. Rhoads used the Sandoval V for most live solos, with the Marshall Plexi head and minimal pedalboard. Effects confirmed for live solos include MXR Distortion +, MXR 10-Band EQ, MXR Analog Delay, and Dunlop Cry Baby Wah.
