Kerry King's Gear
From the November 2009 issue of Guitar World magazine:
Q: Kerry, what were your first Instruments? Kerry King: [...] When I started doing shows, I had a Fender Super Showman [...]. My practice amp back then, which I still have today, is a Fender Super Champ. Those things are awsome.
From the November 2009 issue of Guitar World magazine:
Q: Did you use any new gear on World Painted Blood? King: [...] Last album I used my prototype head, but this time I played through the Marshall KFK 2203 head that anyone can go out and buy. I used that with my Marshall JCM800 "Beast" and Greg's Marshall and Orange heads, and we mixed all the sounds together to creat my main tone. For leads, I addad a Boss RGE-10 EQ to the JCM800 "Beast" and used either a Zakk Wylde wah or a classic Dunlop Cry Baby wah.
