Marshall Kerry King Signature Series Amplifier

The Marshall JCM800 2203KK, Kerry King Signature Series Amplifier. Many guitar players have shown incredible loyalty to Marshall Amplification throughout their careers.  As his way of thanking them Jim Marshall is proud to put their name alongside his on a Marshall Signature Amplifier. Kerry King, guitarist with Slayer, has used Marshall amplifiers throughout his hugely successful career, proudly bearing the Marshall logo when he performs with a wall of 30 Marshall cabinets behind him; a sight to behold and a triumphant assault to the ears.

The Marshall JCM800 2203KK amplifier is based on Kerry King’s favoured JCM800 head.  Kerry calls this amplifier ‘The Beast’; it was the amp that had been at the core of Kerry’s sound for many years both live and in the studio until Marshall presented him with the first 2203KK prototype.  Marshall's R&D team worked closely with Kerry to develop the tone and feel of a great Marshall amp, an amp that defines the true attitude and power of Kerry’s sound and they have gone to incredible lengths to recreate the sound of ‘The Beast’ that is unmistakably Kerry's tone.  Drawing inspiration from Kerry’s tattoos, Marshall's graphics team developed a new way of printing designs directly on to fret cloth allowing the panel design to flow across the front of the 2203KK. On seeing the first prototype Jim Marshall commented it looked like Kerry King had cast his shadow over a classic Marshall design… perfect.

Kerry has already been using the 2203KK for some time now, ensuring it met his demands and using it every night as he travelled the world on his 2006 and 2007 tours.
