Been though a lot of Marshall amps over the decades, and have only kept two. My Kerry King and a clone of Gary Holts Langner 800. Kerry even borrowed it from me to play the Dime tribute at Ozzfest in Dallas. Total keeper.
of all the signature amps out there this is by far the best. so many awesome musicians use this amp [not just kerry king]. the 800 is killer as is but with the gate and the kt88s this thing is unstoppable.
Cool video, seems like you can definately get the classic old-school "Slayer" sound right out of the box easily. The built-in noise gate seems like a great addition too.
For those watching in 2014 buy one of Marshall's Classics the JVM 410HJS. This is one of the baddest ass Marshall's in one box. The parts are top notch, and it is like 4 or 5 generations in one big, heavy LOUD box. THE BEST MARSHALL YET!
My first Marshall head..Bought it in 1985? Jcm800 50 watt single channel with 6550 tubes..ran a Boss ge7 eq and boosted the gain..almost identical to what you did..as well as many of us rock metal players in those days...and it sounded killer
actually his playing/tone sound much better here than on other youtube videos i have watched and the comments on his solo just because isn't the best lead player does not make him any less a great guitar player very tight/good rhythym player
Kerry seems like an awesome dude. I have one of these heads and they are fantastic I think he may have gave Marshall one of their best heads because they seem to be disappearing and ending up in studios. I’m glad I got the cases and everything so I can keep it like new. I got to have that big moment lol that was awesome
i love his quote about this head meaning more to him than winning a grammy. it seems these day all artists are concerned about is ticket sales and profits, not making great music and being totally badass. thank you kerry

my dream amplifier head. I played it at a guitar center with my jackson once, and it was SO good. like wow. the sound. like eddie van halen on that first record, except with more grind and concentrated treble. it sounded like a beast.
There are some interesting tones in this amp. I don't do Chunk or Chug at this point, but I find that the tone is nice enough to warrant time with it .
Mackenzie Hunter I think it's got less to do with GW and more to do with the player. If Kerry was actually a good, versatile player, and that sure is debatable within the heavy metal community, his ability would cut through no matter what medium he's playing in. Problem is, he just flat-out sucks! Even with signature equipment from Marshall and B.C. Rich, it doesn't cover up the fact that his abilities are very limited as a player. He can jam on riffs, and that's it. Put him in the studio with a seasoned player, or simply take the whammy bar off his guitar, and he'd be lost. Hell, you can hear it on the new Slayer record with Gary Holt on co-lead guitar. Gary only played a small handful of leads, and what little he played absolutely smoked Kerry's horseshit leads. Kerry's a shitty player who caught a lucky break, and he's be screwed if he had to go on talent alone, because there isn't any.
6672rock Look up the KK performance in Marty Friedman's show on TV Tokyo and you'll see the same amp there sounds beastly. It's every video GW does that is shit.
+Mackenzie Hunter All I know is I am buying a DSL 15c tonight and it definitely sounds like ass on guitar world. Im hoping it is the guitar world ass effect and not the amp. The 40c sounds like metal mayhem by comparison in the same video. Oh well. Here goes nothing.
+6672rock He's a good rhythm guitarist, and he's very tight in that respect but you're right his solos arepredictably terrible. I once saw a compilation video of his solos and one comment that really made me laugh was "There are only 2 types of guitarist that can make these kinds of solos: a blindfolding guy who doesn't know he's tuned down a half step, and Kerry King"
He's not that bad of a guy...his confidence has been earned from being the metal underdog for a long time when metal sometimes went through some really rough times. He stayed true and stayed heavy...his style hasn't had to change much because Slayer figured out what works for Slayer. He's still better than I am or most anybody I know that plays guitar...And without him, well....What Slayer would there be? Keep Reigning!!!!
Yeah, to drive his amp harder. He also used custom overwound pickups and played all of his rhythm parts on the neck pickup, so it was a very thick and hot signal going into the amp and getting crunch from the high mids while cutting any excess highs and lows.
Kerry king is an intelligent and well respected guitarist... It's hard work and perseverance and what Slayer stands for. This can be transcended (work ethic and belief) to anything..
I do like that it is a Designed after a older 800 at its heart and you just use a cable and guitar. I still like use a OD pedal(Tube screamer or a Boss OD-1) in front for a clean boost to tighten it up even more.
Can't say it sounds that good, at least on my computer speakers, Seems a little bright and lacking low end. But I'll bet in person, cranked up with some Vintage 30's it kicks ass.
***** Testament is playing at that same theater this summer as well. I know Montreal is a mecca for metal. I'd love to get up there for a show. Luckily I do have a good amount of shows lined up this summer - Slayer, Testament, Lamb of God and Slipknot, I have tickets to all those
+Ian davis it's a Kerry King Marshall with KT88s and high gain circuitry, of course it sounds like a mean egotistical asshole, the way it should sound! If you want an amp that sound like a modest and sweet nun then get a 60s fender combo
He gets a lot of shit for not being a very technically skilled player and I believe that the look he sports (tattoos, graphic guitars, chains, ornate sunglasses, etc) makes it easier for people to dislike him. If I'm honest, I agree that he's not very skilled at all and his solos are terrible. That said, he's been playing with Slayer for years, doing a solid job, his sound is integral to the band at this point and he is a fairly down to Earth guy. I would say that Hannemann was the most down to Earth out of the band, but considering how he dresses KK acts like a fairly straightforward dude. He could so easily go for the superior douchebag attitude that his fashion sense could easily convey, but he chooses not to be like that. I think he knows he's not one of the greatest, but he doesn't seek to prove otherwise and he still makes good money too. I compare him to Scott Ian (not as a player, I think Scott's playing is far superior) and their personalities are similar, they both know they're not incredibly skilled at soloing etc, but they play to their strengths (Scott never gives himself enough credit, he has a downstroke that rivals Hetfield and his song writing skills for the thrash genre as a whole are insane). At least KK doesn't sell himself above or below his station, Scott kind of undersells himself to other guitarists, but he's a cool dude.
im happy this comment exists, because on the video where he plays with mart freidman kerry wants to jump in and gwt playing and he wants to talk about his music, not because he is self centered but because he played in megadeths first 5 shows and he looks up to marty, he wants marty to be impressed with him because hes kerrys hero
@@marcello728 you are a moron for making that statement there not a devil worshipping band there a were proving that religion is bullshit band that's what slayer is because if you believe in spiritual beings be it god satan ghost whatever then your an idiot that's what slayers about they dont believe in the devil either they just use it as a tool to show how much hatred they have for organized religion.
@JuggaloWorldOrder1 a head is that top part of the amp, all the tone variation equalizing and distortion comes from there. you cant hear it unless you plug it into a speaker or cabinet. a regular amp is a combination of both, usually called combo amps
Ben Middleton those who know sound know that a solid state amp are garbage compared to tube amps. you might like your amp but I'm guessing that you just got used to listening to garbage sound. play a good tube amp for a while and I guarantee you will never go back to solid state.
Doesn't sound that great your better off with a peavey studio pro transtube amp with a cab sounds much more alive and warm for lack of a better word, much cheaper as well.
Go watch Andertons video on this subject. Two guys, one buying a expensive amp and a cheap guitar, the other one buying a expensive guitar and a cheap amp. The cheap guitar blew away the expensive one.
Maybe someday he'll come out with his signature sunglasses
slayer sunglasses exist
Oakley Pit Boss dude! They're pretty sweet, but they sure as hell ain't worth $500 lol

Doug Funny which is cheap, considering they retail for about $1400

No truer words have ever been spoken.

No way

The source of his power is in his chains.
As a god, he should be
Lmfao
There's nothing between him and the head.
When I die and turn into a ghost I want to float around legless and chase people while playing slayer riffs
“That means a helluva a lot more to me than winning a Grammy” it’s stuff like this that makes metal awesome
"Helluva" already has the "a" included. So your extra-one is redundant.
He seems like a pretty nice guy to have a beer with...Doesnt he?
Sure. Anyone who digs Satan is a good drinking buddy.

Been though a lot of Marshall amps over the decades, and have only kept two. My Kerry King and a clone of Gary Holts Langner 800. Kerry even borrowed it from me to play the Dime tribute at Ozzfest in Dallas. Total keeper.
The headstock is almost as big as the body
he is a really small guy it is so funnt haha. but with all respect he have made some epic riffs!

Next is Kerry chain signature.. Lol

Sounds like slayer

He's a badass guitar player
I got this one few years back and man it is great! I made little customisations to it and it kills!
It sounds amazing! Wow, what an amp!!!
For those watching in 2014 buy one of Marshall's Classics the JVM 410HJS. This is one of the baddest ass Marshall's in one box. The parts are top notch, and it is like 4 or 5 generations in one big, heavy LOUD box. THE BEST MARSHALL YET!
"its like satan reached up from hell and touched that head" there is no sentence on the planet that more slayer than that
My first Marshall head..Bought it in 1985? Jcm800 50 watt single channel with 6550 tubes..ran a Boss ge7 eq and boosted the gain..almost identical to what you did..as well as many of us rock metal players in those days...and it sounded killer
Simplicity and a fantastic sound...
SLAYER is badass live in concert!!
actually his playing/tone sound much better here than on other youtube videos i have watched and the comments on his solo just because isn't the best lead player does not make him any less a great guitar player very tight/good rhythym player
Kerry seems to be a very cool and simple person. I like that!
Nice to hear Kerry laugh a little for a change 🤘🏻
Kerry seems like an awesome dude. I have one of these heads and they are fantastic I think he may have gave Marshall one of their best heads because they seem to be disappearing and ending up in studios. I’m glad I got the cases and everything so I can keep it like new. I got to have that big moment lol that was awesome
i love his quote about this head meaning more to him than winning a grammy.
it seems these day all artists are concerned about is ticket sales and profits, not making great music and being totally badass. thank you kerry
I love the Slayer sound before the drop D. Just Marshall distortion.
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video when I was younger.
It looks like he has no legs
Haha yeah. But to be fair, Kerry doesn't need legs, gravity is too terrified to drop him :)
Ohhh my gooossshh
The King!

Dude, get a hobby
Thanks I was gonna ask for the tab
Got Damn that's alot of chuggin'!
The *D E D I C A T I O N*
Meshugah?
dude has no legs!
hahahahahah
my dream amplifier head. I played it at a guitar center with my jackson once, and it was SO good. like wow. the sound. like eddie van halen on that first record, except with more grind and concentrated treble. it sounded like a beast.
Excellent!! SLAYER with Kerry King !!!!
Um Kerry's always been with slayer
legendary sound of thrash RIP Jeff
Jeff Haneman was always the best in Slayer i think kerry got a lot of his props because of his image
I like the movement of his right hand when he's gallop picking
There are some interesting tones in this amp. I don't do Chunk or Chug at this point, but I find that the tone is nice enough to warrant time with it .
He [Kerry King] should release a heavy metal instrumental album.
How does every product seem to sound like ass on guitar world?
Mackenzie Hunter I keep hearing this slapback delay they've added in post on every Guitar World amp sound.
Mackenzie Hunter I think it's got less to do with GW and more to do with the player. If Kerry was actually a good, versatile player, and that sure is debatable within the heavy metal community, his ability would cut through no matter what medium he's playing in. Problem is, he just flat-out sucks! Even with signature equipment from Marshall and B.C. Rich, it doesn't cover up the fact that his abilities are very limited as a player. He can jam on riffs, and that's it. Put him in the studio with a seasoned player, or simply take the whammy bar off his guitar, and he'd be lost. Hell, you can hear it on the new Slayer record with Gary Holt on co-lead guitar. Gary only played a small handful of leads, and what little he played absolutely smoked Kerry's horseshit leads. Kerry's a shitty player who caught a lucky break, and he's be screwed if he had to go on talent alone, because there isn't any.
6672rock Look up the KK performance in Marty Friedman's show on TV Tokyo and you'll see the same amp there sounds beastly. It's every video GW does that is shit.
+Mackenzie Hunter All I know is I am buying a DSL 15c tonight and it definitely sounds like ass on guitar world. Im hoping it is the guitar world ass effect and not the amp. The 40c sounds like metal mayhem by comparison in the same video. Oh well. Here goes nothing.
+6672rock He's a good rhythm guitarist, and he's very tight in that respect but you're right his solos arepredictably terrible. I once saw a compilation video of his solos and one comment that really made me laugh was "There are only 2 types of guitarist that can make these kinds of solos: a blindfolding guy who doesn't know he's tuned down a half step, and Kerry King"
We're here to check out my new head, and show you why it's so awesome
He's not that bad of a guy...his confidence has been earned from being the metal underdog for a long time when metal sometimes went through some really rough times. He stayed true and stayed heavy...his style hasn't had to change much because Slayer figured out what works for Slayer. He's still better than I am or most anybody I know that plays guitar...And without him, well....What Slayer would there be? Keep Reigning!!!!
should have been a JCM-666 :v
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought he had no legs
Yeah, to drive his amp harder. He also used custom overwound pickups and played all of his rhythm parts on the neck pickup, so it was a very thick and hot signal going into the amp and getting crunch from the high mids while cutting any excess highs and lows.
This is pretty cool. Slayer has a cool sound.
the first seconds i just thought : where are his legs!?
2:30 his amp settings (on bass, treble, & middle) read: 666
cant wait to get this guitar!!!
Thank's Keven , I was thinking about this marshall Head
I didn`t know Kerry had eyes...
I swear this guy could be the guitarist for slayer he even looks like Kerry king too!!!!
I looked up “Kerry King without sunglasses”. I was not disappointed.
5 minutes in and I just noticed that he's not wearing sunglasses. What a monumental occasion this was, 8 years ago.
Kerry king is an intelligent and well respected guitarist... It's hard work and perseverance and what Slayer stands for. This can be transcended (work ethic and belief) to anything..
I mean he’s not that well respected lol. He’s known for playing awful solos.
He's flying and some chains are hanging from his belly.
I own the Marshall 2203kk amp, and i'm happy with it.
I do like that it is a Designed after a older 800 at its heart and you just use a cable and guitar.
I still like use a OD pedal(Tube screamer or a Boss OD-1) in front for a clean boost to tighten it up even more.
Where the hell can you buy this amp? Can't find it anywhere.
PugnaciousBadger look it up on sweetwater or just on Google in general, i found a couple used and a few new, they cost the same as a jcm800 about
Can't say it sounds that good, at least on my computer speakers, Seems a little bright and lacking low end. But I'll bet in person, cranked up with some Vintage 30's it kicks ass.
Dude, everything sounds terrible on every Guitar World video
Of all the music I listen to, going to miss Slayer the most.
I met Jeff Hannemann at a dirty little bar in Vancouver B.C. and he was super cool. Felt like I'd gone to high school with him.
Really random, but it looks like he's floating due to his pants being the same colour as the amps.
ilikedinner13 o my god it actually does
"again, there is nothing between me and the head" xD
Love the end song!
ooh that head and all those knobs are awsome, i'd like to play that ;)
What's all the hate? This is a fucking God you're talking about!
Because it's "cool" to hate Kerry King that's why.
Mick D Oh that's right, I have to remember that most people are followers
***** They still kick ass. I'm going to see them in June
***** NY. They're playing out on long Island in Huntington Paramount theater
***** Testament is playing at that same theater this summer as well. I know Montreal is a mecca for metal. I'd love to get up there for a show. Luckily I do have a good amount of shows lined up this summer - Slayer, Testament, Lamb of God and Slipknot, I have tickets to all those
My friends played through this amp, said it sounds like an egotistical asshole.
i love you
+Ian davis it's a Kerry King Marshall with KT88s and high gain circuitry, of course it sounds like a mean egotistical asshole, the way it should sound! If you want an amp that sound like a modest and sweet nun then get a 60s fender combo
+Ian davis you sound jealous, maybe next life you be something, dont be sad
MARSHALL kicks azz!!! Sweet nun sound lol that's great.,,Not here
Ghost Walker ha !
I love that crunch and roar from 3:07 - 3:14
i'm pretty sure his sustainer is helping his notes ring out more than the amp but still awesome head!
"hey this is Kerry King from slayer and we are here to check out my new head."
does this one have hair ? lol jks
Weak sauce
He gets a lot of shit for not being a very technically skilled player and I believe that the look he sports (tattoos, graphic guitars, chains, ornate sunglasses, etc) makes it easier for people to dislike him. If I'm honest, I agree that he's not very skilled at all and his solos are terrible. That said, he's been playing with Slayer for years, doing a solid job, his sound is integral to the band at this point and he is a fairly down to Earth guy. I would say that Hannemann was the most down to Earth out of the band, but considering how he dresses KK acts like a fairly straightforward dude. He could so easily go for the superior douchebag attitude that his fashion sense could easily convey, but he chooses not to be like that. I think he knows he's not one of the greatest, but he doesn't seek to prove otherwise and he still makes good money too. I compare him to Scott Ian (not as a player, I think Scott's playing is far superior) and their personalities are similar, they both know they're not incredibly skilled at soloing etc, but they play to their strengths (Scott never gives himself enough credit, he has a downstroke that rivals Hetfield and his song writing skills for the thrash genre as a whole are insane). At least KK doesn't sell himself above or below his station, Scott kind of undersells himself to other guitarists, but he's a cool dude.
dude people who say he is crap player listen to how fast he downpicks and and his sense for rythm
Too many tattoos this guy has.. also too much devil worshipping bullshit in their appearance
im happy this comment exists, because on the video where he plays with mart freidman kerry wants to jump in and gwt playing and he wants to talk about his music, not because he is self centered but because he played in megadeths first 5 shows and he looks up to marty, he wants marty to be impressed with him because hes kerrys hero
@@marcello728 you are a moron for making that statement there not a devil worshipping band there a were proving that religion is bullshit band that's what slayer is because if you believe in spiritual beings be it god satan ghost whatever then your an idiot that's what slayers about they dont believe in the devil either they just use it as a tool to show how much hatred they have for organized religion.
@JuggaloWorldOrder1
a head is that top part of the amp, all the tone variation equalizing and distortion comes from there. you cant hear it unless you plug it into a speaker or cabinet. a regular amp is a combination of both, usually called combo amps
Having your name on a Marshall head is worth more than any award there is. No higher vote of confidence than to have a Marshall signature head.
huge slayer fan but an ENGL POWERBALL 100 absolutely blows that marshall pc of shit away
freemen dontask anything beats a marshall. My Randall rg100 would destroy this $1,500 piece of crap
Ben Middleton those who know sound know that a solid state amp are garbage compared to tube amps. you might like your amp but I'm guessing that you just got used to listening to garbage sound. play a good tube amp for a while and I guarantee you will never go back to solid state.
Different tools for different jobs.
Don't think so buddy! Had 3 RG100's. cool amps for solid state, but not even a close match for this amp.
All you can here is EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Damn. Now I want one. that is one quiet sounding rig.
Doesn't sound that great your better off with a peavey studio pro transtube amp with a cab sounds much more alive and warm for lack of a better word, much cheaper as well.
I love those guitars, they are very chunky sounding.
"when am chunkin you can feel it" LMAO yes i like to laugh at none sexual related stuff, an then relate it sexually...
Keep in mind most amps don't sound good when you own a shitty guitar. If youre going to buy a tube stack, upgrade your guitar with it too.
Go watch Andertons video on this subject. Two guys, one buying a expensive amp and a cheap guitar, the other one buying a expensive guitar and a cheap amp. The cheap guitar blew away the expensive one.
Thomas Raes on video...
+Ko-wing wong yes? :p
Thomas Raes i don't believe it. My American Jackson rr1 through a double stack marshall JCM2000 dsl 50 1960 cabs can blow any cheap combo away...
***** technology has come such a long way
His tone is fucking badass, i never succeeded at getting close to it, maybe i'll buy his head one day!
Gotta love his custom guitars
im going to say what everyone is thinking...this amp sounds tiny as shit,this amp sucks lol
Trust me, it's the video, they haven't mic'ed it properly, look at almost any other demo, and you'll see how awesome this head is
Warpig of The Power its known as the guitar world ass effect
sounds meh
it's amazing for the kind of sound, tone and even attitude Slayer has, the guitar tones of both guitarist aren't that intense of super gained up.
What an honour.
I love the finish on that guitar, it looks like it is puking out demons
this is the best sounding marshall I have ever played
Damn, he's playing so clean... :)
R.I.P. Jim Marshall
hearing about his death lead me to watch this video!
LONG LIVE MARSHALL! AND SLAYER!
