From Our Research Team:

A Signature Head from Slayer's Kerry King!

The 2203KK is based on Kerry King's favored JCM800 head, a head King calls "The Beast." His JCM800 had been at the core of Kerry's sound for years, both live and in the studio - that is until Marshall created Kerry's ultimate amplifier, the 2203KK. This 100-watt behemoth is equipped with a trio of ECC83s in the preamp and a quartet of KT88 driving the power stage.

King has never been a traditional metal guitarist, and this amp incorporates his own special touches that Kerry added to his "Beast." Among these King-ly features are a "frown EQ" mid-boost that counteracts the metal tendency to scoop the mids, a noise gate that accentuates King's trademark staccato playing style, and a Beast button, which instantly engages Kerry's signature sound. King's tattoos were the inspiration for the artwork that graces the cloth behind the Marshall logo as well as the brushed gold control panel. Rounding out the feature set is a printed signature from Jim Marshall and Kerry King on the control panel. The 2203KK is a true metal monster!

  • 100W tube head

A JCM800 on steroids!

by Guillermo Lozano from Guadalajara, Mexico

Music Background: Semipro Musician, Hobbyist
This amp sounds both, warm, because of the KT88s, and very agressive with the "Beast" switched on. For me these features makes this amp very versatile, I can play sweet and edgy Rock and blues lead... read more [+] notes. I'm a 55 year old guy, who experienced the late 60s and early 70s in my own era, and I think I know a little about tone, put this amp on top of a 1960AX, and you can go back in time and recreate the sound of Hendrix, Cream, sabbath, and other greats.
I´ve had an original JCM800 back in the nineties and changed it for a JCM900, because of the two channels, Now that I´ve been maturing in taste, I´m very pleased with the new KK. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
