22 Acacia Avenue
22 Acacia Avenue is peak Number-of-the-Beast twin guitar -- Dave Murray's humbucker-loaded 'Kossoff' Strat and Adrian Smith's Ibanez Destroyer, both into cranked 50-watt Marshall Super Leads, hard-panned and double-tracked by Martin Birch. This is where Murray's MXR Distortion+ enters the picture, tightening and thickening the Plexi for the record's mid-forward NWOBHM crunch.
