The KK 800 has his spiked MXR EQ built into it and more gain. It also has a built in gate and a couple other extra features as well.

Ckeck out this months Guitar World. It's got a whole article about the KK800. Explains the differences.

The Kerry King one is probably for total poseurs.

OTOH, the regular 800's normally don't distort at all in my experience.

HAHA

 

[JackBootedThug]

it looks like the 800 I've always wanted.

 

[Rindgecore]

The main difference is it has KT88s, so it's going to have WAY more headroom and thicker overall. It has a switch which engages the noise gate and gives you that horrible mid range spike that makes Slayer's sound so unlikeable.

Isn't it $100 than the regular 800?

So is the plexi setting, sounds pretty good for $299, but too much gain

The line6 model was actually made from a bogner-modded 800, dunno why they didn't incude a regular 800 model as well.
