i looked around and couldnt find any threads discussing led zep guitar sounds...............
so, im starting one.

im interested in knowing what gear was used to achieve some of the different acoustic and electric guitar sounds on the first 5 records.

specifically, the AMAZING ac gtr sounds on led zep III like "thats the way" and "the rain song" on HOTH....................

also interested in the electric guitar sounds on houses of the holy.

i know the guitar gear that page used and that a lot of their stuff was recorded on a helios, but what mics/comps would have been used to help create these sounds?
U 67, U 87, Coles 4038???
LA 2A, 1176, LA 3A????

very curious.
any info or links to articles would be GREAT.
thanks
anthony
