Call me crazy, but I'm almost sure they used Vox AC30s and MXR Distortion+ exclusively both in studio and live around the time they recorded that album. (Yep, they did metal with Vox AC30s) They switched to JCM800 and then to JCM900 later on. You'll notice a big change in tone after Piece of Mind.

Well done, H Smith. Sounds pretty close to my ears here on my laptop. Digging the Maiden being thrown around lately! I've never heard the AC-30 thing either. My recollection is Marshalls (with the odd Hi-Watt from time to time) for everything except Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. (Those were indeed the GK amps.)
By the way, is your forum name a reference to Adrian Smith? His nickname is "H". Or possibly just a coincidence. =P
