Notes I used for this video:
Jeff Settings on JCM800:
Pre on 7
Bass 10
Mids 7
Treb 6
Master 1.5
Gain 10
On the album it states Slayer plays B.C. Rich Guitars. He was spotted playing a rich bitch, Warlock and a mockingbird in the 80's among others.
Jeff used 1986 Marshall Jcm800 2203
BOSS Rge-10 confirmed by Jeremy
On the heniken baffle amps they are reissue 2203 with Kt88 power tubes. He had multiple made, less than 20.
Before the Jackson he used Gibson Les Paul modified with a Kahler Pro tremolo and a Joe Barden Two/Tone Humbucker bridge pickup
King’s rig on Reign In Blood was (I think) Marshall 1960 4×12 cabinets.
Boss 10-Band EQ with the sliders set in an upside-down “V” shape,
King old JCM800 settings: Bass between 4-6, Mids around 8, Treble around 6-7, and Presence around 7. His preamp gain is set to 8-9 with his master
Kerry King signature amp settings:
Gate 3.5
Assault 4
Switch?
Treb 3.5
Master 4.2
Pre 7.3
Pres 4.7
Bass 5.6
Mid 5.4
Jackson wouldn’t give Jeff an endorsement so he spent $2000 on it. He only had one JACKSON!!
1980's Jackson soloist Jackson
Bought in 1988 for $2000 - it featured a 24 fret neck-thru design [maple neck with poplar wings], ebony fretboard, and a Kahler Model 2315 Flatmount Tremolo. The guitar originally came with passive pickups from Jackson’s shop [typically this would mean a J-50 and a J-80] and featured a mid-boost circuit. Soon after Hanneman got the guitar, he put EMG 81s in and removed the mid-boost circuit. He also changed the locking nut from a Kahler style to a Floyd Rose style sometime in the early 90s.
South of Heaven
They actually discussed slowing down
Jeff's last album when it came to writing every song. Kerry wasn't as involved and it's his least fav album.
Kerry King talking about his old JCM800 "the beast"
“That amp hasn’t been modified in any way, shape or form,” Bowcott says. “It’s completely stock. Component drift and tolerance deviations have made that amp something special and-as Kerry sometimes says-the ‘golden child’ when it comes to his trademark tone. Back in the Eighties, you couldn’t enforce the sort of tolerances that we demand from our suppliers today, which is plus or minus one percent. Back then, the plus-or-minus percentage was much higher. As a result, Kerry’s amp sounds different from a lot of other JCM800s made in the mid Eighties.” Originally supplied with a quartet of 6550 tubes, King’s Marshalls are beefed up with heavier duty KT88 tubes. “They have a nice, fat low end that Kerry loves,” Bowcott says. “Those tubes add a lot to his vibe and make his sound even bigger.”
While Marshall’s Slash and Zakk Wylde signature amps were essentially reissues of the original JCM 2555 Silver Jubilee and JCM800 2203 heads, respectively, the Marshall 2203KK JCM800 Kerry King head is a unique new product. “This is an exact duplicate of the Beast,” Bowcott says. “It’s a much more aggressive animal than our current 2203 reissue, which is based on the early Eighties circuit.”
“Part of the secret to the Slayer sound is what Kerry and Jeff do to the front end of their amps,” Bowcott says. “Kerry used his 10-band graphic EQ to push the front end of the amp harder. What’s interesting is that 99 percent of players out there think that you need to scoop the mids out to get Slayer’s guitar tone. Kerry does the exact opposite-he boosts the mids. A scoop is a smile,” he explains, referring to the shape of a scooped-mid EQ curve. “You can’t have a smile when you’re playing Slayer’s music! His EQ curve is a fairly radical frown, which makes more sense.”
This Marshall had his RGE-10, dialed in to the exact EQ curve that he uses.
• You can either add more or less of my tone,” adds King. “You can’t adjust all 10 EQ bands individually. My chunk comes from those boosted mids.”
Marshall Mode IV cabinets.
Gibson Explorer during the band's early days. Rich Bich model he bought off his bandmate Kerry King His first Bich, DiMarzio Super Distortion pickups. He also used a B.C. Rich Ironbird. B.C. Rich Gunslinger
In 2000, Hanneman switched to ESP guitars

    @@CIRCLEOFTONE There's not a ton of info about what exactly was used on that album in detail. But from what research I was able to find in DOWN forums back in the day and from interviews with Guitar Magazines was that Pepper Keenan and Kirk Weinstein both used their respective live rigs from their own bands, plus a few Marshalls and other miscellaneous amps that Phil Anselmo had in New Orleans. Pepper Keenan was primarily using Gibson SGs and a Les Paul with P90s into Mesa Boogie .50 cal+ and a Marshall cab. Kirk was using Explorers with a boss metal zone as a boost into solid state Randall's. I'm not entirely sure what Marshalls were used or what any of the other amps used for layering were.

    I always liked South of Heaven, the slowing down made their music sound a lot less two-dimensional to my ears. Most notably were Araya's vocals and Lombardo's drums. Obviously, if you're not going a million miles an hour all the time it opens things up to be a bit more musical and melodic as well. It may not be that popular but a recreation I'd like to see/hear is Static Age era Misfits. For an album that likely cost about two-bob to make I still think it sounds fantastic.

    Great insight into the recording of metal music. The talent has always been there, even the experts have to agree on that, what is missing is the group dynamics. The interaction between band members. That's when the magic happens, where it lives, not on a computer program. Take out the human emotion and you get what you get. Might be good but not stellar. In my opinion you hit the nail on the head.

    AH! Brother, you're back and swingin'! (and I don't mean the 'clean bits' of the video LOL). That was awesome with the Slayer 'South Of Heaven' action. I remember when that came out and I too consider it THE BEST Slayer album. Nothing like it before or after. It's like 'Don't Break The Oath' by Merciful Fate (suggest you tackle that at some point? Great guitar work there.) I agree about the DAW thing, especially running the studio. We've been doing a lot of work lately, but trying to keep everything as real and natural as possible. We don't use sample replacement, rarely use click tracks on anything we personally record, and most clients don't request them. Forget grid snapping. Awesome to see you're doing good. I'm looking forward to more videos in the future. You need to feed those Marshalls some wattage for a bit. Oh! Besides the Merciful Fate I mentioned, how about a look at Kings X, their guitar and bass (especially) sounds? There's some fun there. They just put out a new album and it's very good. Anyway, great work! Cheers!

    South of Heaven is my favorite Slayer album. When is came out we were floored at how up front the drums were in the mix. Reign in Blood is their masterpiece. Their Sargent Pepper.

    The early Tame Impala record from 2012 is recorded on Boss BR-864 . There is a lot of info about that . "Innerspeaker" is great sounding album recorded in a very cheaply way . These Boss digital recorder feature a kind of synthic effect which became also part of Tame Impala's tone , f.e. on "Alter Ego" , "Why won't you make up your mind"

    Too true about metal/rock becoming too nice. What happened to the bad ass lead guitarist of the '70's. How many times have I read in comments sections people slagging off EVH calling him an asshole thanks to Hagar's constant bitching. Or Ace Frehly being drunk, unreliable etc thanks to Gene bitching that band members aren't as reliable and professional and nice and polite ike his accountants. Usually I leave a comment saying something like that's the way I like my rockstar lead guitarists drunk and badass then I cop abuse. Good to see you back bro, keep the vids coming, the guitar community needs you.

    Not necessarily. It depends on the song. Psycopathy Red, Unit 731, Angel of Death, War Ensemble, Jesus Saves, Silent Scream, Hell Awaits - all examples of fast slayer songs that are brilliant. Live Undead starts off at a slow pace but gets extremely fast at the end. One of my favourite songs to drum along to. So slow Slayer isn't necessarily better. It's a perspective that depends on the taste of the individual listener and what they're in the mood for.

    Talking about DAWs and metal music: It realy depends on the band and how you use it. It’s easy to quantise everything to the grid. But, the thing is still if you do it or not. You can still record a band live, including microphone bleed. For example jazz bands still do it. Because it’s part of their music to interact with each other. Metal/rock bands could do that as well, if they wanted to. So I think it’s more a choice of sound and even more of a choice of to little talent of at least some bands, it’s not the DAWs fault. It’s just the thing that makes it possible. The choice is still by the producer and bands.

    I love your take on Slayer Slayer is From the Huntington Park area, if you grew up around LA/IE area it easy to understand how Jeff loved punk Rock, Tom and Dave are Brown. Dave was known to live in Rancho Cucamonga and kerry in Corona. Tom went to Texas, all that is very typical of ppl in So Cal. I think Kerry gets crap due to looking like what is known to us as a "BRO" grey dicky pants and monster energy drinks
