Kerry Ray King is a co-founder of the trash metal band "Slayer," which disbanded in 2019. Between 1990 and 1998, King collaborated with ESP and played his signature guitar, the "Kerry King V." He later received a signature guitar from BC Rich. He plays Marshall amplifiers and has an EMG pickup set. For an authentic sound, we recommend the AMP1 Iridium Edition and a guitar with humbucking pickups. These can also be "active" for more output. For passive pickups, the gain control must be turned up further.

Underrated component: The box!
The amplifier is only one part of the overall sound. The speaker used has an equally significant impact on the sound. Therefore, the settings shown above may need to be adjusted depending on the speaker used.
