MXR super comp is not used by him...never was. Rocktron Surf Tremolo was taken out of his rig before the Christ Illusion record. He uses Dunlop strings now...not D'Addario's. .009-.042 for Eb tuning, and .010-.046 for C# tuning. Rocktron Super C HUSH units are back in his rack, the MXR smart gates are gone. he also has a Dunlop rack wah.

Quoting Crazed Shredder:
What is the Yamaha multi effects box for? Is it for chorus on his clean tone, is it for different things on different songs?


he uses it in the chorus' of Disciple. It's on preset #29 Delay Vibrato.

are you sure he uses 009-42 strings? King's page says the same things...isnt it kinda weird ?


Google Tony Iommi's strings. 08's (Two 8's; e & B)-35's

KT88's are providing the heaviness it'd seem!

That means if you put other tubes on the jcm 800, likes for example 6l6 tubes, you`l get a heavier sound?

Yes both of them use 09/42, i use the same gauge and i play on 1/5 Step Down, and C Flat, they provide a good bright sound.

the cabs he's been using recently and which are shown in the photo are Marshall MF (Mode Four) 4x12, probably the 280W version (MF280). They have, compared to regular Marshall cabs, modded speakers with a bigger cone and the cabinets are bigger for tighter bass response.
