Just one additional thought from a guitar player and that is that equipment clearly impacts sound but technique is vital with Page's playing. I could not figure out why (no matter how much distortion and stuff you put on it) playing the basic notes of whole lotta love sounds nothing like the power of Zep playing it.
I then found a Guitar mag when Pagey gives the way he actually plays it (and four sticks) bending notes under the adjacent open string giving it natural phasing and much more "ooomph". Bottom line, it is the interplay of player and equipment that makes it all work and I am pretty sure if I played through the exact stuff Page did, I would not sound anything like him - "cause he is (gulp) better than me!
