Xolo1974 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Hi guys, Been playing for a couple of years and I’ve now got a telecaster and about to invest in some pedals. I love this song. Which guitar effects pedals are in use for it. I also love the version by JP and the Black Crowes on the Wantaugh Excess All Areas boot. So heavy. Would appreciate any advice.

sixpense Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 If you are referring to some of the overdubs where the notes "wobble", my opinion is it is a MXR Phase 90. (Jimmy also used this pedal on Achilles) The pedal was first manufactured in 1974 so at the time Jimmy was using new equipment! There are thousands of pedals out there. Including systems where they are grouped in a pedal board form. My favorite distortion pedal is the Klon Centaur. (Rare to find but if you get your hands on one, it is well worth it!) Or you can still buy a Sola Sound Tone Bender Professional MKII. (Jimmy used it a lot: Good Times Bad Times rhythm guitar is an example. (front pickup)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecongo Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Jimmy was also a big fan of the Tremolo effect. Like after "really need 'em bad" he hits that big chord with tons of Tremolo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
244300 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Yes. Likely the original Phase 90.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MXR_Phase_90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta Go to Sped Spedding and his YouTube lesson on this Song. He knows Plant and is a great guitarist. The ascending chords on this one after the opening riff in Drop D tuning is a bit complicated because I have seen different guitarists use different approach's to it. The first lead is a descending type of fast two note chord shapes that go from the 10th fret and end in the 2nd fret on the two high strings played simultaneously. Its a very complicated song instrumentally speaking. Fabulous, classic, iconic and often overlooked. If you happen to "ID" those chords used after the straight up A and then ascending after opening riff, do share it? Its the last one going up that is the question. And then descending also. PS, some of the lead is played as high as in the 17th fret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan1977 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I had Sped Spedding hit me back on YouTube. He plays fabulously. Knows Robert Plant. Lucky Devil. But a good devil. I've learned some quick leads from him since starting up electric again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie29 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Jimmy played a Fender Telecaster with a B Bender installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
