Platt went on to produce Samson and a few tracks with Iron Maiden, working with their guitarist Dave Murray who is a Fender Strat and Marshall amp user. Having recorded so many guitarists, Platt has some general rules for getting a great tone.

“For certain sounds, you need to be running the amps at 16 ohms and into 16 ohm cabinets. If you want to get the right crunch, you need to have the lower specification speakers because you want the speaker to overload and not the amp. There's a substantial difference between overdrive on an amp and overdrive on a speaker.”

The lower specification speakers... zegt hij nou dat de wattage laag moet zijn of de ohmage?
