I recreated the studio setup for Iron Maiden's 1st album

[thefyn]

All settings etc are in the description. I used the same amp, 3 vintage MXR pedals, 70's celestions, mic etc that they used.

What do you think?

A minute in, I'm impressed. I thought I was listening to Dave Murray and Dennis Stratton themselves but this is a good recreation!

All that learning paid off. I'd be glad to see more videos like this!

Thanks man. I'm working on Ozzy/Zakk right now. I have a bunch of these done. AIC, tallica, the Beatles etc.

Just keep the pinch harmonics to a minimum but I've never seen anyone do a Jake E. Lee recreation before. Randy's tone is untouchable in my book no matter how hard I've tried to recreate it myself.

Outstanding!
Man, that takes me back!

 

[nyxzz]

I'll probably get more posts on Randy and Jake than I do about Zakk when I do this vid.

I saw Jake in Anaheim last Jan. I saw the funniest thing I've ever seen at a show: Two aging rockers, husband and wife rocking out. Swinging beers, mullet waving and throwing up the horns she inadvertently pokes him in the eye. She does not know it. So he's half smiling, still having a good time, but also in pain clutching his eye.

He's rockin'...slowing...gasping...clutching his eye. Throwing up the horns...no too much...grabs his eye. Then she notices he's only rocking at 60% and starts to fuss over him 20% while rocking the other 80%. So after helping and gritting his teeth through it they maintain a solid 90% rocking out capacity through teamwork. It was fucking beautiful.

Sounds pretty on target indeed. I should tonematch that in the axefx

 

[Zado]

Impressive, really. Well done mate.

Good luck finding Randy's tone. I'm sure you're aware of this but when recording his tone, make sure there's more than one track of you playing but I think he did triple tracking or more than that.

Fantastic Job!
