Easily the most important amp for Dave Murray in the 80s. Four of these are seen behind Dave Murray in this photo. The amp is also mentioned countless times in official stage set gear lists from the era, gear rundown interviews, and has been seen in video with Dave Murray.

On the official website for DiMarzio, amongst a list of Murray's pickups, we can see the DiMarzio Super Distortion.

Dave uses a Shure UR4D UHF-R wireless unit, as shown in this Guitar Geek rig diagram.

Dave uses two Marshall JFX-1s, according to Guitar Geek.

Peter Cornish custom built a router and power supply for Dave.

Here's what Victory say:

Could we be more proud? Probably not. British rock icons Iron Maiden released their superb new album, 'The Book Of Souls' on September 4 2015. The tones are simply immense, so imagine our delight when we discovered that guitarist, Dave Murray had used a Victory V100 head and V412 cabinet in the sessions. He's also planning to use them in the next round of Iron Maiden touring.

In the Premier Guitar article, Dave Murray is shown using the Fulltone CLYDE Standard Wah during Iron Maiden's 2010 tour.

In the Premier Guitar article "GALLERY: Iron Maiden's 2010 Touring Gear," Dave Murray is shown using the Korg DTR-1 Rackmount Tuner during the band's tour.

The EV logo on those speakers is a clear giveaway. Judging by the year of the concert which was around 1983 it's quite obvious that they were the Electro-Voice EVM12L Series II speakers which were introduced in 1978 to replace the older EVM12 speakers. The way to differentiate them is that the old EVM12 speakers didn't have the EV logo on their dust cap while the EVM12L Series II speakers had EV logo on their dust caps. They were the first lead series EVM speakers made by Electro-Voice.

Although both JBL D120 and K120 were available in the market in 80's but an easy way to dfferentiate between them is the size of their aluminum domes. The large sized aluminum domes shown in that image belong to K120 speakers, the D120 had substanitally smaller aluminum domes.

This post which lists their tour equiments also hints that they used to use a JBL speaker: https://www.woodytone.com/2010/12/14/early-maiden-murray-smith-gear/

As shown in the picture he uses Marshall 4x12" speaker cabs loaded with 70-watt Marshall G12 Vintage speakers. These speakers are made in UK by Celestion exclusively for Marshall. Their design predates Vintage 30 and G12 Century Vintage Speakers.

A rig diagram shows that Dave Murray uses Ernie Ball Super Slinky Guitar Strings (9-42).

It was speculated that Dave used a boss FA-1 FET preamp, which may be true for later years, but as shown by the document he used an MXR m162 preamp, as the FA-1 had not been released yet. The document seems vague, but it's important to note that the m162 simply was sold as the "MXR preamp". I've tried this pedal with the rest of the gear listen including the 50 watt lead Marshalls and it sounds spot on. It's the secret ingredient to his tone.

Dave said himself he uses Ernie Ball medium picks. This is one such pick he used on the Somewhere Back In Time tour.

In the photo you can see Dave Murray is using a Fender Deluxe Leather Wide Strap.

In this YouTube video you can see Dave Murray has switched to a Axe-FX 3. We can still see his JMP-1 under it but his tech (Colin Price) explained that they just copied the settings from his JMP-1 to the Axe-FX 3 and have now swapped to using the Axe-FX 3 as his primary. This is being used for The Future Pass Tour.

Dave Murray used the Gallien-Krueger 250ML amplifier for the distinctive tones on Iron Maiden's "Somewhere in Time" and "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" recordings. A user-uploaded photo confirms this usage.
