I found some interesting pics from the book Queen Live Tour in Japan 1975-1985 that detailed the equipment used to put on their live shows in Japan in 1976. Added a drawing from a 1979 Japanese magazine at the end. I don't know anything about the equipment, but still found it interesting so I thought I'd share.
On the right: Brian's treble booster, a modified Dalls Rangemaster. The circular device in the background, out of focus, is the Maestro Echoplex on/off switch.
On the left, a red Foxx phaser pedal.
Brian's VOX AC30 amps. Only the lower three have mics in front of them and the rest are backups. The caption mentions that the author saw one of Brian's amps catch fire during Brian's solo show in '93.
Top two photos:John's Hiwatt bass amps in 12" Sound City cabinets. Four Acoustic 370 (solid state / 250 W), two Acoustic 301 cabinets.
Bottom two photos: on the left, a PA system by the Clair Brothers, an American company used by Queen into the '80s. On the right, a dry ice machine.
Taken at the Budokan in 1976, with John Harris at the helm.
Fukuoka, 1976, featuring a mixing console by Universal Audio.
On the left, Universal Audio mixing console. On the right, dbx160 compressor/remitter and SAE2700b graphic equalizer. On top of the cabinet is likely a Sony TC-289-0SD cassette recorder.
From the top, Clear-Com's CS-200 channel splitter, dbx160, Universal Audio 527A graphic equalizer, SAE2700b. To the right, two Revox tape recorders, with the one on top used as an echo machine. At the very bottom is an Echorec delay.
