My friend...Zakk does use a couple of effects (MXR Stereo pedal with overdrive, etc)...but, it's mostly in the pinch harmonic and the vibrato that he achieves that get the big "squeal"...try choking up on your pick and getting that nice pinch harminoc and try to get your vibrato wide enough to cross the Grand Canyon...that should do it...this is 20years experience talking...you'll get it... :cool:
Also, listen to any Randy Rhoads, ZZ-Top or Leslie West (from "Mountain")...they do a lot of the same type of thing...let me know how you make out...
