this is simply not true.

they have used some special techniques (like running an overdriven 1176 into another one), and here the gear they used has definitely played a crucial role for the sound they finally have achieved.
just read the interviews where jimmy page and andy johns speak about all this. and when they have said they used certain pieces of gear - and only those - for special applications, who are you to claim it all wouldn't matter?

of course i could all have been recorded on a mackie desk and it would still be great music...
