Dave Murray & Adrian Smith: Pedalboard Updates

Several weeks ago we posted an overview of the effects pedals used by Adrian Smith and Dave Murray during the recording of Iron Maiden's Piece of Mind album. While attending a recent Iron Maiden show on the Somewhere Back in Time tour, we noticed that Adrian Smith and Dave Murray were sporting some new equipment. Always aiming to keep our readers up to date, we thought a follow-up post would help those looking to capture Iron Maiden's live sound.
  • Adrian Smith's set-up:
    • an Ibanez CS9 Stereo Chorus pedal;
    • an Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer pedal;
    • a Dunlop DCR-2SR Custom Shop Rack Wah;
    • a Peavey TubeFex Effects Processor with PFC-10 Foot Controller pedal; and
    • a custom Pete Cornish pedalboard designed to control the above-mentioned effects.
  • Dave Murray's set-up:
    • a MXR Ten Band Graphic Equalizer pedal;
    • a MXR Phase 90 pedal;
    • a MXR Distortion+ pedal;
    • a Dunlop DCR-2SR Custom Shop Rack Wah;
    • a Marshall JFX-1 Digital Signal Processor; and
    • a custom Pete Cornish pedalboard designed to control the above-mentioned effects; and
    • a Korg WT-12 Chromatic Guitar Tuner.
If you catch a glimpse of Iron Maiden's pedalboard set-up on the current tour, please do not hesitate to let us know.
