Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) Guitar Rig

Tony Iommi is the godfather of heavy metal. His tone is massive, dark, and crushing — thick, sustaining chords with snarling midrange, downtuned heaviness, and a signature “doom” growl that shaped the genre. He keeps his rig relatively straightforward but powerful, relying on high-output pickups, modded amps, and minimal but effective effects.

The total reflects multiple signature and modified guitars, amps, and cabs. One pedal listed, the Dallas Rangemaster Treble Booster, is one of 300 made in 1960 so it reflects that in the price. Tony’s rig is built for massive stage volume and signature doom tone. A strong-sounding alternative rig can be built for much less (see Budget Alternatives above).This version prioritizes gear you can actually find on Reverb/eBay while still mentioning the iconic Jaydee “Old Boy” as a historical note.
