The Dunlop Uni-Vibe (http://www.guvnor.com/guvnor/StoreItemDetailFixed.cfm?Item_ID=domemusic0412990102206194&Store=Mike%27s%20Music) has been re-issued.

For Page's sound, you may have to get a Telecaster and a 'plexi' Marshall, since only some of his stuff was recorded with a 'Paul.

Yep,also go for a Vox type sound with a Tele (*trebley*),possibly drop the bass a little . A treble booster may help on the paul's bridge position. Lots of the better Pagey stuff was a Tele...including the solo of
St**rw*y..guess that amp was a Marshall (?)....

..or maybe not.

If this is correct it's a Supro for me next project.


Jimmy's gear (http://www.fenderplayersclub.com/artists_lounge/featured_artists/led_zeppelin.htm#gear)

Scroll down for the gear, i know there are some omissions, otherwise he'd have been using a 5 watt amp in 80,000 plus stadiums, he did use Vox AC30s and the [then] ubiquitous Plexi type marshalls as well.

My creative brain has been hijacked by the painting police at the mo' Lord,so i've yet to unscramble the mysteries of the audio circuit..fully,and have not received any books yet (on order). I might take you up on the offer when I eventually know what the...heck...I'm doing.

LM741 with a couple of small caps is where i'm up to (down to?) just now. Always liked those amall,simple valve amps.
