A Hotrails'll do it... at least mine does.

But if you really want the power, why not go EMG?

The Bareknuckle Miracle Man pickups are wound to replicate Zakk's tone but in a passive pickup.

Also, the Bareknuckle Warpig is a high output pickup (around 22k I believe) and also has the power (if not more) than an EMG 81.

Both could be good pickups for the tone you're looking for

+1 but I've also heard ZW's tone copped on a SD Custom with a good OD pedal.

Get a 2203 JCM800 and a SD1 boss pedal.

+1 on the Bareknuckle Warpig or Miracle Man.

I actuallly thing that the JB comes pretty close to an EMG sound. You just have to push it with an OD pedal, duncan pup booster, etc.
