During the KFD tour, Chris Holmes utilized Peavey 5150 II 120-Watt Guitar Amp Heads as power amps and paired them with Peavey 5150 speakers, according to ThunderHead - Tribute to Chris Holmes on Jacksonguitarpalace.
"When Chris re-joined W.A.S.P. for the KFD album and tour he was using Marshall JMP-1 preamps and Alesis Quadraverb 2 effects processors."
What was your main guitar and amp setup in the W.A.S.P. days, and what are you using now? —Jonathan Green
My main guitar back in the day was a Charvel Jackson. A yellow bolt-on Star. It’s the same one I use now. I’ve broken it about five times—I just glue it back together and put a new neck on it. The amps were Marshall Super Leads, 1971 or ’72, 100-watt tops. I used a Nady [Wireless], and I went into a parametric equalizer, then a Lexicon [effects] processor and then into the Marshalls.
Chris Holmes used Peavey 5150 4x12 Speaker Cabinets during the KFD tour, as noted on Jacksonguitarpalace's tribute page.
