greig1983 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Great photo. I follow Scarlet on Facebook, meets a lot of great artists. Obviously helps to have a famous dad. Led Zeppelin autographs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have actually played a couple of notes too. Certainly a pointless exercise, unless.... he's using the rig to re-amp a guitar part from an old recording that had a dry (i.e. direct from the instrument) guitar signal and he wants to recreate the exact sound....

JAP Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 The guitar is plugged in. The light on the amp head appears to be on, the amp head on the cab that has a mic’ in front of it. Setting up the old rig in Abbey road would make sense if you wanted to overdub some parts on old recordings or make a new recording with an older vibe,I guess? Setting it all up and getting dressed up at abbey road to have some photographs taken? I think he was playing and it and recording it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woz70 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) He's got one of his Transperformance auto-tuning guitars strapped on. Theremin just in view to the right. Typical 90's Whole Lotta Love setup. Could be just a photoshoot, but why go to the expense of hiring Abbey Road? Not a cheap venue. I still think he's re-amping a direct from guitar recording and using ambience from the room in Abbey Road to add some depth to the sound. Wonder what era the recording is from 😉? Abbey Road have been investing heavily in de-mixing technology..... used extensively for The Beatles and some early Stones recordings recently. Could open up lots of possibilities for re-balancing so-called 'soundboard' recordings. Very interesting.

JAP Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Demixing would come in handy if they needed to work on bootlegs or two track sources for this zepp experience streaming thingamy - maybe it’s all to do with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just on the guitar - I’m not certain, but I don’t think the guitar would be typical of the 70s rig? Would the 90s one be the gold coloured one ? At first I thought it was the red coloured one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought it was the red coloured one The first of Page's Transperformance guitars appeared at the end of the Coverdale/Page sessions, and he managed to do some overdubs on one of the tracks (Absolution Blues? Can't remember offhand). Definitely not 70's canon - required 90's computer technology and gutting the inside of the guitar to fit the motors & brain inside.

rm2551 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Great, hopefully the mood in here will lighten somewhat to speculation instead of the near flood of disappointment. I hope the "de-mix" technology is suitably showcased to Mr Page and piques his interest SUPREME. Oh, well wow, that really puts a lot more back on the table... kinda thinking.

Mook Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Do we really want a live album from the 70s with overdubs done in 2018? I'm probably jumping the gun a bit there but it does all seem a bit odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bong-Man Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I like the whole thing. It's a classic Zeppelin style tease meant to appease, and just for our benefit. Could mean a lot of things, but it surely wasn't just a photo shoot. No logical reason to drag everything there just to shoot some pics. Lol...That would cost money. My Zep instincts ? Overdub work on an old studio recording, as opposed to anything live. All will be revealed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol.....So you mean that's not the Masonic symbol superimposed on that upper amp ? Okay....no tour or album. Just some more beloved live harmonizer over-dubs heading our way.
