nope
Did you know that newer amp have a separate knob for volume and distortion.
The song was actually recorded with his Les Paul Standard Sunburst which was a '57 or '59, don't remember. But the amps he used at the time (1969) were Vox amps; the same ones the Beatles were using at the time. He called them Beatles Super Amp cuz the Beatles asked Vox to build them more powerful amps so they could hear themselves over all the screaming (true story). So it was recorded with a Les Paul Standard through Vox Super Beatles Amps into Rickenbacker 4×12 cabinets. I believe he also used something like an old Tone Bender Fuzz. That's just FYI. You actually have that iconic sound down pretty good. Probably closer than most anyone else.
Please bring these back ????
Yes! You MUST play the fretted D in unison with the open D string. Also up bend the fretted D.
Gotta love that SG. Nice.
He used a tone bender to get the sound
OK ..The Tone at beginning was REALLY Damm Close + That ONE Riff ..that was AWESOME ..
he used a les paul for this song
Strong work. First time seeing you. Liked and subscribed.
Apparently it was done on his Les Paul and perhaps strangely,a large Vox solid state amp.
Whole Lotta Love…Les Paul, Vox UL4120 with Rickenbacker Transonic cab. Documented in his book Anthology.
Pickupwise…. For reference the '59 is 8.2K concerning output. If you're looking for a humbucker with an output like that, others for example… From Seymour Duncan: Pearly Gates, Alnico II Pro, Antiquity, Zephyr, Whole Lotta Humbucker (…), Seth Lover ('55 PAF) & Slash. From Dimarzio: PAF Master, EJ Custom, PAF Joe, Air Classic, Dark Matter & Mo'Joe. And many of those you can get for Stratocaster. Don't ask me which exactly…. Pearly Gates, Alnico II Pro & '59 for sure, that I can tell you.

Where's the TAB? I can't find it on the site.
Amp settings?
I am amazed how few "how to sound" vids go for a TELE and Tone Bender to catch the early Led Zep tone. I mean, that was an era where people stumbled on stage because of the fuzz boxes around.
Jimmy Page used a Telecaster in the 2. Album! but its great!
They may have used the Binson echorec like in When The Levee Breaks.
Your strat look amazing ! Can you speak about the pickup's and how did you the relics on it ? Do you have another YouTube channel or IG account maybe. ?
Great video, do the Steppin out riff from John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers please
You shook me by led zeppelin
Very enjoyable, thank you. How about Deep Purple's 'Bloodsucker' from the 'In Rock' album? And no, Ritchie Blackmore's not using what you'd expect , so no Strat and possibly not strictly a Marshall (research isn't completely clear about when he changed or modified amps). Great song.
Missing that open D string in the main riff. That's the key to making that thing sound right, the dissonance created by the open D and the slightly bent (upwards) fretted D on the A string.
That's one of the classics alright. You can't beat a bit of the mighty Zep. Nicely done.
Sounds incredible! I would have thought so much more was going on. Many thanks for the tutorial and the inspiration. Cheers!
Must be a freak! Plays a bar chord with the third and fourth fingers reversed! (Kidding.)
