Dave Murray and victory amps

Re: Dave Murray and victory amps

I actually own the V100, the same amp Dave uses. I also own a couple of vintage marshalls. The V100 blows the Marshalls out of the water, by a LARGE margin. The V100 is tighter, more articulate and much, much easier to play.

So, if it sounds muffled, I'm willing to bet that's due to the production and not the amp cause... the Victory is epic.

I will bite the bullet: My favorite Maiden tone is Fear of the Dark

Agreed. Does anyone know what gear was used in the recording of that album?

Victory amps are available in US

The Victory Amps Chappers had on were pretty sweet I thought. I talked to the Captain (Lee Anderton) (super cool guy by the way) about ordering one but its was retarded expensive getting it to the states. That'e when they first burst on the scene and they were playing them on every video. I ordered a new Les Paul instead and abandonded that dream. If you can get them in the states now though I'd be interested in one.

I thought I saw that Music Zoo in NYC carries Victory. They're in the $2-3K range.

Don't know what they used in the studio for shure, but during that tour they used:

JCM 900 (primarily), Mesa Mark IV and G & K amps. The latter for clean sounds.
Celestion and EV loaded Marshall cabs.
Guitars were Fender and Jackson with either Super Distortions or JB's in the bridge.
