K. K. Downing's Amplifiers
At 1:15 in this video, you can see 2 Rocktron Piranha preamps in K. K.'s amp rack.
According to Guitar Geek's 2004 rig diagram, Downing used four Marshall 1960BV cabinets.
Both K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton use Marshall JCM800 1959 Mk II Super Lead amp heads. K.K.Downing can be seen playing though them at 1:18, 1:23, and 1:28. The 4-inputs are an easy giveaway that the amp in the video is a Marshall JCM800 1959 Mk II Super Lead and not a JCM800 2203.
K.K. Downing of Judas Priest auctioned his 1978 Marshall JMP 50 Watt Head, as listed by Bonhams.
Used for live performances, accouring to K.K.'s website.
