Iron maiden Early 80 tone

 Recently i've been noodling on "Revelations" from "Piece of Mind" so i make my attemp to nail that tone.

It is pretty simple and it revolves aruond a classic plexi tone(remember that marshall amp works better with all tone knobs maxed):

As always i used the delay to "double" the guitar and added a touch of reverb. I think that maybe a plate would have been closer but i like out it sound this way,

Then i've tried to push this peset with some overdrive and got some good tone for "Loasfer Word (the big horra)" from "Powerlave". Oddly to get a closer i had to switch off the usual delay-doubler.

Here are settings of the fender overdrive for the leads:

May look like a joke but all you need is push the plexi so it works best this way... When you play liquid, rounded lead solo the full basses will help your tone. Also remember when you play that type of lead you need to be gentle in your picking attack and led the gain stages do the work.

Add delay to taste. I did no research on that so i will not screenshot a setting. i use a standard 20-30% mix with a 250ms near or less. Standard.

And finally the rythm tone for powerslave. The same plexi setting but we need to get the bass tight so:

At the time Murray had one of this in his rig:

As a bouns, if you add some chorus you can get a pretty decent tone for the interlude of "Wasting love".

Here's my subtle settings:

Maybe i should try with a flanger...
