Marshall JCM800

Chris Holmes drove Marshall JCM800 heads with high gain and scooped mids to create W.A.S.P.'s signature aggressive 1980s metal tone with natural tube saturation. The cranked Marshall became the foundation of their raw, cutting sound on tracks like 'Animal (Fuck Like a Beast)'.

Seymour Duncan JB

The Seymour Duncan JB's hot output in W.A.S.P.'s bridge position pushes the Marshall into heavy saturation while maintaining clarity for palm-muted chugging and cutting lead lines. This high-output humbucker was essential for achieving the band's powerful, articulate metal tone throughout their catalog.
