So... WLL was recorded with a solid state amp? I love it. Maybe somebody will do IRs of a Transonic cab. Super hard to find those, though.

I assume that's the one he's talking about. Zappa used em, too.

That would be a interesting addition to our Fractal collection....

Another demonstration that guitar players are too concentrate about gear and not in what comes out from the cones..

 

[BillyZeppa]

Speaking of cones, he says he paired Rickenbacker Transonic cabinets with the VOX amps.

Cliff can call it...Whole Lotta Love.

Cliff can call it...Whole Lotta Love.

sounds horrific anyway IMO lol....I don't think I good crunch tone from that guy till he did the coverdale album

To be honest I never paid much attention to Jimmy Paige's guitar tones. I loved the songs and the riffs, but tone wise I liked those of Ritchie Blackmore and Tony Iommy way more, as they had a heavier sound. Especially Tony.

Yeah. Big fan of the song, but guitar tone on it is nothing to write home about. It's pretty much all Plant on that one.
