I Played the Ultimate Jimmy Page ZEP 1 Signature Rig!

- Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
- Jimmy Page's guitar tones on the first Led Zeppelin album are the definition of legendary. I recently had the honor of meeting Mitch Colby, the one man entrusted by Page with reverse-engineering the mysterious modded Supro Coronado, and replicating it for the first-ever Jimmy Page signature amplifier, the Sundragon.
In this video I discuss the uniqueness of Page's sound, get the Sundragon backstory from Mitch... and even borrow one of the amps, along with a Fender Jimmy Page signature 'Dragon' Telecaster to plug into it! I also try out 4 of my main guitars to see how it handles different sounds. It Might Have Gotten Loud.
This was an amazing experience for me as a lifelong Page fan, and I absolutely had to share it. Special thanks to Keith Williams of Five Watt World for inspiring me to get this out.

What was amazing about Zep, was that Jimmy got major guitar playing, recording, and business experience under his belt, and then found and assembled the other band members before anybody realized what was happening. So when the mighty Zeppelin hit the ground running, the band ran circles around the fans, the press, and the concert promotors, to all our enjoyment. Amazing!
he found robert plant but robert talked john bonham into being in the band jimmy had never heard of bonzo
@@simonjames1604 I think you're missing the point. Zep was Jimmy's band. He was the leader, the creator. He brought in everyone. Robert simply recommended him. When Jimmy and Grant went to check him out, it was they that hired him. Not Plant.
@@hickoryhippie thats not the point, without plant no bonzo., that is the fact. you may not like the facts but they are as they say facts , and john paul jones approached page not the other way round so literally half the band didnt come via jimmy and page wanted terry reid not plant and only ended up with plant when reid decided to stay solo. so everything about this post is wrong . so missing the point? thats you dude.
Not getting your point simon Page was the creator no matter how it happened none of them would have had Jimmy JAMn Jimmy
@@tomstegall1346 no question but no plant no bonham so that wouldnt be zep and again john paul jones called pagey. history is what it is. page didnt mastermind this band so much as lucked into it.
When LZ one came out, I was in the fifth grade. A friend was walking down the road, and he had an album under his arm hanging at his side. He was taking this to other homes because he was so blown away that he wanted others to hear it and was walking it around to houses. I managed to get him to come to my house only a block away. I am not kidding - that is how it hit everyone. There was a serious urgency to it that even then with all of the other stuff that was already out or just coming out - understand that was a LOT to compete with. Music was in a rage of stretching and experimenting NEVER seen before. But this record grabbed you by the shirt, pulled you up close - face to face, and dared you to shake it off when you were done. It was the REAL SHIT. Needless to say, I saw LZ every chance I got. I still own ALL of their stuff. All of my band mates from that time in our gray hair still are shaking our heads at how incredible this band was and how fortunate we all were to be there. We had it all musically and didn't even flinch about it. It will probably never happen again, and that makes me kinda sad. We all agree we will NEVER get tired of listening to it. I am 65. That says it all right there.
In many ways my fave zep album...that energy!
Page is underrated as a producer and composer. He was much, much more than a guitar player.
Which is why IMO he will be always be #1.
I remember Led Zeppelin I. I saw the album displayed on a very large round display table in a book and record store. Dozens of the Zep I albums were stacked like a house of cards on the table above which hung a 3-4 foot paper zeppelin suspended on a string which rotated by a small motor at the ceiling. I couldn't resist so I bought a copy. I remember lying on the floor of my bedroom with my head between my stereo speakers listening to the album for days. Wow!
He’s more than a guitar hero, he’s a guitar GOD, almost not even human but decidedly so HUMAN that the humanity of his soul that shines out from his creativity of tone that has a divinity in its capacity to touch the souls of those of us around the globe who still listen after a lifetime of listening. I’m 50 and I STILL get that same feeling coursing through my whole body, that feeling you get when the music makes the little hairs on the back of your neck or your arms stand straight UP.
Yes !!! Guitar God!!!
Huge fan of Page's tone/playing. He was blessed by God with a tone of talent and then had the wisdom to team up with three amazing bandmates who were all gifted phenomenally in their own right. Never to be duplicated.
I've been catching up on your videos and been learning so much from them. This is becoming (along with homeskoolin) my favourite channel now... thanks for these amazing videos again!
I totally know what it was like to listen to Led Zeppelin (I) when it first came out. I was the first person I know to buy the LP, in early 1969, having heard white label pre-album releases of Communication Breakdown and Good Times Bad Times played on underground FM radio in Washington DC. When the album came out in Jan 69, my guitar-playing friends and I wore the vinyl out in no time, and we saw LZ play on their 1st US tour that same month. It's difficult to describe what a game-changer Zeppelin was for me and thousands of others that year.
Incredible. I was born in the summer of 1970, so that does sound like another world. What’s really crazy is that 20 years later, unearthing those albums was somehow still a revelation. In 1987, Led Zeppelin 1 & 2 sounded downright dangerous.
@@JB_Eckl I was born 61 and with 8 - 9 years I was blown away of them! Whole Lotta Love and Rock'n Roll on the shellac.
You hit the nail straight on the head. A lot of there songs are just a groove and everyone is in on it. The riff and the drum beat are one and the same. Seldom do Page and Bonham stray too far away from each other. In some songs, Iike Wanton song from Physical Graffiti, they are joined at the hip. I think that is why Page never really did that much after Bonham passed away.
First time i got to see him wasThe Firm. (Was all ready to see him in 1980, then ...) Wasn't as good, but i wouldn't call it nothing. That was a great band! And seeing Jimmy was the best! First time i ever heard the guy talk!
Not mentioning that John Paul Jones was as integral to the groove as Bonham is pretty ignorant.
@@SirPhilMcCrackinVonBeggington That's true, and that crack is pretty full. Of it.
Page says something like that in an interview with David Letterman.
I agree. I love Jimmy Page before he was in Zep and Of course I love him in Zep. Plant and Jones have had very creative musical lives after Zep. Jimmy not so much
DUDE!!! I just opened up my phone and you popped up, let me tell you that I did not think there was anybody who experienced what I did and you my friend are it only mine was Led Zeppelin III , still have it , I listened to it so much the grooves are worn down!! I have also “borrowed “ a couple vinyls from my big bro, he got to actually see the mighty Zep, as my father called them every time they came to Chicago. Jimmy is my hero and will always be in my heart and ears! Thank you for the video today, Steve.
I’ve recently found your channel and very much enjoy it, your playfulness and excitement is catching. Thanks for the great content, looking forward to more in the future 🎸
Your work is amazing, you've gained another subscriber! Hugs from a big brazilian Zep fan. 🎸
Just found your channel, it’s great. This video is awesome, great playing and excellent interview.
Thanks, really glad you dug it!
Wow. What an interesting video. I haven’t seen yours channel before today but this was just great. Great riffs with different guitars. I’m subscribing now!
I already knew you could jam, but I had totally slept on the vocal range! Respect!
I wonder if I could do that scream twice in a row.
Great 24 min video on the standard sundragon. Please more videos like this. This amp is criminally underrepresented on youtube.
Yeah there's some stuff out there but most of it is phone audio.
Man this is a great video! Thanks for putting this all together
I must be a boomer at heart, I can’t get enough Page, Hendrix, Santana, Gilmour, Gibbons, Summers… and the 3 Kings of course
JB I just found your channel today, and I have to say i'm really impressed. Great editing and pacing (and of course playing). Keep it up, looking forward to more content!
Thank you!
You have something special here - very interesting presentation and content. I'm a fan already, and although I'm just learning guitar, I love the minutia of your deep dives.
I was lucky enough to stand at his feet at their first trip through LA. I caught them at a small venue called The Rose Palace in Pasadena. I think Argent opened. The record had been out for just a few weeks and I'd never really heard of Plant, and did I hear Plant. His voice boomed. Page was already legendary having replaced Jeff Beck in the Yardbirds.
The show was simply delicious. Jimmy mostly played the Tele and that drummer was something to behold.
I think we paid four bucks to get in.
I caught them almost every time they came to town but never that close.
Absolutely loved the content and the playing, keep it up brother!! New SUB !!
Greatness! LOVE that you got Mitch to come on and tell his story. Love the demo jamming, and holy crap is there anything better than that pelham blue SG special? Sounded so good. Great work
Glad you dug it. Yeah that SG is a beefy sounding guitar; I love the bridge sound especially. I’ll try a brighter neck pickup soon; I love neck P-90s that ring. I got this guitar because I love early Santana.
Learned a lot and inspired to listen those albums again. Thank you for your efforts 👌🏽
Thanks brother! You inspire me all the time
Excellent video....fantastic playing and tones.
Thanks so much! Glad you dug it
Subscribed strictly off of how creative you were in the intro, and then the rest of the video was way better than I expected, not that I wasn't expecting much, but this was awesome dude. Keep killing it
Much appreciated! I’m hoping to make more videos soon. This one was a lot of fun.
X2
you deserve a lot more subs. you never fail to bring a smile to my face. thank you.
*Share JB's posts with friends* 👍🏼
@@johnfranksongs I do not object
@JB Eckl from 1 VRA to another , *Great Success to your Channel* 🎶❤️.
@@JB_Eckl I’m 66 and saw LZ live 7 times ‘
Which was your favorite?
Another great video JB! I might add, that it is criminally under viewed here a month and a half after release. This is a must-view for anyone (which is practically everyone) trying to get close to the Page tone.
Well it’s a pretty new channel, so the views aren’t bad. This is for nerds only; the crowd for Jimi’s early Sundragon and Tele phase is a little more specific than his Marshall/Les Paul era. But it’s magical to me.
Hey all, Ignazio Vagnone from Jensen Speakers here. We are SO honored being - small or not so small, you decide - part of this project. I clearly remember when Mitch asked us for some speaker samples to shoot out for "an amp project that is SO incredible I cannot tell you anything about it". And MY astonishment when the Sundragon was announced, learning in that very moment that Mitch picked up our beloved Jensen AlNiCo P12Q as the speaker of choice for the Sundragon, and that his choice was signed off by JP.
We were pinching ourselves to make sure we weren't dreaming :)
One of those moments that pays you back for all the hard work done to relaunch the Jensen Speakers!
Wow, thanks for sharing this! I can only imagine. The P12Q does sound fabulous in there, the amp is an absolute time machine. ‘Signed off by JP’ is a badge of honor if there ever was one.
@@JB_Eckl Thank you for your awesome video. Yep, I could not think of a more shiny badge of honor ever... And yes as well, the P12Q in that amp sounds fabulous. Like if it was designed for that purpose. Mitch has done his magic building the Sundragon. Totally incredible :)
Great video
That font usage is excellent btw
It’s one way for me to quit TALKING! Haha.
Whilst modding a very icey sounding Fender blues deluxe I swapped out the eminence speaker for the same speaker that is in this Supro amp. I didn’t know that is was the same speaker that they finally agreed was ‘the one’ at the time I did it. I think it put the whole amp directly in the ballpark of this and I was pleased with the fuzziness that I feel is the character of the JP. Nice video bro.
That’s so cool. The speaker is always a huge deal, just like Mitch said!
Well done. I was surprised how responsive the amp was to your G&L and the SG. It all sounded great. Thank you.
Yeah! I think it’s a good idea to see what it can do outside the classic Zep context
@@JB_Eckl new subscriber - like what your channel is doing!
Hi! I’m your new sub. You had me at the when the levee breaks vid (holy balls). Now I find myself here. Once again…amazed
You are my new favorite UA-camr. I’m a Page nerd too. You should be well over the 100k subscriber count for sure. Love your passion
Wow, thanks man. I would love to see a bunch of things happen on here, as I described in my ‘2000 Subs’ video. I have so many people I want you all to meet, places and projects and so on AND so forth!
You lucky, lucky, lucky, LUCKY bastard. BTW my second video of yours I have watched today. Y Love how you edit and how your progression in the videos make sense and keep me with eyes glued on. MORE Led Zeppelin videos please!!!
Lucky indeed… it was a moment for sure. And now I want one of those Teles!
Yeah JB, that was kick ass.....great job. All the guitars were great, but the Dragon Tele tones brought it home
FUN WAS HAD
Wow.thanks for the insights!! Greets from across the pond! Btw,nise jamming!!
Hey JB, I like your playing, especially the Canadian Blues. Cool beans. 2 Thumbs up ! 👍👍😀
Great episode! Subscribed. ✌️
Much appreciated!
Please, oh please never apologize for your guitar playing sir! Really enjoyed this vid
Very Good Video! Is there a way you could please make another video about the effects he used, and demonstrate how he got his live sound?
Love the video! As always - full of great info, greasy tones, and very inspiring. #Awesome! I knew there was a reason you are in my band! :-)
One day we'll have to do a FULL BAND analysis of one of the suckas!
The interview with Mitch Colby brought on goosebumps. To be entrusted with the holy Flippin' grail of amps is beyond my ability to describe. In 1969 I was ten years old and in the fifth grade when I first heard this album. A kid brought it to class to play during our art class time. The art class was after lunch. He set that album on the counter against the wall first thing in the morning when we came in. I asked him how good is this album. He smiled like the devil took my soul. All morning I kept staring at the album cover. At that time I didn't know a what a Zeppelin was or what the Hindenburg disaster was, but I felt that people died in that explosion in the picture. The image haunted me right there because I couldn't relate to it or understand what was going on. After lunch, we started in with whatever art project we were doing. From the first song I was blown away. Then Babe I'm Gonna Leave you. I never heard such a beautiful powerful song in my life. Then You Shook Me. We guess what people, I was shook! And then those first bass notes of Dazed and Confused. Oh my God! I turned to the kid next to me and said, "This music is scary, and I LIKE IT! And you know what, I have been liking it ever since. That you JB for this Video. After 53 years of Led Zeppelin I thrill every time I hear it.
I've never seen a single one of your videos and I'm no more than 2 minutes into this one but that intro just got you another subscriber.
We are of the same tribe
Love it, as always, JB. Your insight and ability to convey it in such a cool fashion is unique and enlightening (and fun to watch). Thanks for this.
(ps. I was 7 when it came out, and LZ was one of the first rock groups I was exposed to - musical older sibling)
(pps. I did not know how "chaulky" sounded before this 😉)
I got ‘chalky’ from a drummer who was perfectly describing his favorite snare sound. I was like… [hits ‘save’]
Thanks for the kind words!
Video is so awesome!!
Woooooo! Thanks man
I was in the fourth grade when I heard zeppelin ll 69. Bought all they’re albums from that point to summer 78 and found zeppelin l. In my cousins collection, I was completely blown away to hear it at that point, they’re career almost being over , I was completely blown away from where it started and ended…
Magnificent man, Jimmy, he seen it all unfold before it unfolded..
I am an old man of 70...playing music since 7...was in 5th grade when they murdered John Kennedy...the Beatles saved americans from true sadness...after comes 1 artist after another...many brittish
artists re introducing blues to the americans that were not aware of the blues...we'd hear one killer album after another...so many mind blowing original sounds...shaking our heads and stealing our souls...when Zeppelin 1 album hit the streets...their sound was the scary for us yutes and scarred the crap outta the establishment...that was in the day when cops ducked their heads when doing a drive by...enjoyed your show. .cheers from mexico
I was one who heard Led Zeppelin's debut LP when it first came out. The impact of those first few phrases where mind-blowing and life changing and will always be with me.
Great demo, sounds incredible! I’d love to hear it with an Echoplex boost in front of it too.
Yes an echoplex and a tonebender also 👍
Wow! Angle of the sun. I have those moments too. Love those moments.
Excellent video about a subject I care deeply about. I’ve been chasing Jimmy’s tone (very specifically the last two HOWLING notes of the Good Times Bad Times solo) for years.
I have to listen to that now!
That is a simple tone…it is a Leslie cabinet driven by the board-the guitar is recorded direct.
This is the greatest opening to a video I have ever seen
That’s great, because some people couldn’t STAND it. Hahahaha
That G&L is money!!!!! Such a rich tone - gonna have to check one of those out!!!! Great video - very interesting.
Thanks so much. Yeah the G&L bug bit me a few years ago; I really wasn’t a big single coil guy but they got me hooked. I have a few different ones and they’re all ridiculously good.
@@JB_Eckl I have a G&L F-100 built in 1981 and a George Fullerton model Strat from 2004, the 50th anniversary of the Strat, both left-handed.
He was a Mystic! That spooky edge I love it did since I was 6 listening to Zep 3 and 4
Sick intro
Ive been saving for 2 years for this amp...drools
Excellent video and the playing!!! Damn!!! Had to look up the price on of these. Wow. I can get dang close with a Deluxe Reverb and a Fryette Powerstation but there is some gold in that tone you got there.
Yeah the price is no joke. I don’t have one of my own (yet). Thanks for the kind words; I had a great time playing through this rig!
Wow absolutely awesome. I’ve subbed !
Wooooooo! Thanks man
@@JB_Eckl cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿
I just found your channel bro! You should make tours and play! Even if you only play covers, I would pay for the tickets! You have talent!
Such kind words, thanks a lot! Check out the video I put up called ‘Trash Can Song’ to see what my own music sounds like. There’s a link to the full album in the description. Let me know what you think!
@@JB_Eckl Hey! I just watched this video and I will repeat: You´re absolutely great! By the way, if you´re interested I invite you to a interview in my channel. I´m German, but I live in Mexico, Acapulco and the Mexicans also love rock a lot.
Got a hella chuckle from that intro ;)
Mission accomplished! That was actually improvised; I had to put drums to it later.
Oh my gosh! Guitar afficionados dream video magazines!
THANK YOU JB Eckl! When he got his repaired amp back, you can bet Page knew he had a serious studio "secret weapon" on his hands. In 1968, and at that point in his career, he could have tracked the 1st LZ record with a Fender, an AC-30, any number of Marshall models, or any/all of those and more--but that 2x6L6 powered 1x12 had the mojo & versatility. If that repair guy knew what that amp would go on to do, I don't think he could've held his his soldering iron straight! 😉
You are not kidding! You would think we would've heard from that guy at some point!!
The huy you were referring to is Eric Van Lustbader. He wrote the "Ninja" series of novels in the 70 & 80's. Before that he wrote for "RollinStone" magazine. He was the first to describe any kind of music as "Heavy Metal". He was describing the first time he heard Jimi Hendrix's guitar as sounding like "Heavy Metal falling from the sky".
Love I & II and I've been digging into those tones recently. You're sooo right about playing the riffs or in the style of...with gear 😂 Got a JHS Superbolt couple of months ago, and probably played "Good Times, Bad Times" for about 6 hours, it was that clooooose, so I imagine that the amp is a lot of fun, too. Way too far for my wallet to reach, but a boy can dream. Since you know a guy that knows guys who all know Jimmy himself, if you could put in a good word, ship the Coronado to Pennsylvania for a little while... 😂
Let’s just pass it around until everyone gets a hit of play time!
By the way… I’m gonna check out that pedal
I love the room JB is in!! Looks like the house I grew up in during the 1970s!!!
Me too. Hahaha.
That part about mitch and ray and the other dude giving such high level of attention to each amp was amazing. Im sad there is only around 100 of these out there. Im still saving MITCH!!!
Saw Jimmy Page with the Yardbirds the same year that the first Led Zeppelin album came out. He was playing the Dragon Telecaster through a bunch of Fender Dual Showman bottoms. If I remember correctly, the Telecaster was more of a Walnut stain behind the Paint. When I saw him play at The Shrine Exposition Hall he kicked my guitar playing ass like no other!
I can’t even imagine!
Love you intro song, bud.
Sometimes you just wanna scream ‘Jimmy PAAAAGE’
Dude, that p-90 SG! Sounded sooo good. Best one IMO.
I love it! I'm going to find a neck pickup that rings a little more, but the bridge rips.
@@JB_Eckl You got me shopping for one. Lol Can't decide on the classic red, sparkling burgundy or the faded pellam blue. They all look so tasty!
They’re all pretty nice. I haven’t seen the sparkling burgundy in person
Great Video! What kind of microphone are you using, an old Shure? All the best & keep on zeppeling ;)
I’m using a Telefunken M80. I like it because it rejects sound from the sides even more than other stage mics. I am compressing and EQing it a bit as well. Glad you dug the video!
I once, on a whim, brought my Tone Bender MKII Professional into a Sam Ash one day, and figured i'd have a go with it. Well, it turns out they had just gotten the Supro Black Magicks in which replicate the supro Page used for most of the recording of LZ I-IV. I grabbed a tele off the wall, plugged it all in and it sounded literally identical to the record. I can't even begin to describe how it felt.
I highly, highly, highly recommend the British Pedal Company's Tone Benders to any Page enthusiast. I bought the OC81D version if anyone is curious. It just has sooooouch versatility. Yummy clean roll offs with a tiny touch of gain, full fuzz, or even metal can be handled by this beauty, it's my most cherished pedal and I recommend it to anybody. It even comes with a certificate of authenticity, and a nice bag to keep it in, good good stuff.
Right on! I have a Ramble FX Twin Bender that takes me to the good place. Unfortunately the day I was recording this amp, my rehearsal spot was picking up RF and that pedal went crazy. Had to detach!
I hope you can plug into the Sundragon sometime. I know that feeling you’re talking about man!
bro no gonna talk about how their pedals sound but the company BPC straight up sucks man … thats a company build by criminals and despicable scums…..
Had the Ramble (great MkII sounds BTW) a BPC OC81 that rocked and now, drum roll…. A DAM Sola Sound MKII that just rules! Have a Fender CS Mirror Telecaster and a couple more CS Teles and all I need now is that Sundragon !!
Any idea if this amp showed up in LZII at all? i swear i hear cranked combo on some tracks. Loving the upper mid cut of cranked Supros for rock tones
Cool video. Page was a great magician.There are lots of good guitarists nowadays,but noone's got that magic.Greetings from Poland!
That magic! Hard to define and impossible to imitate.
Actually, that first album was under promoted in Britain. I didn't become aware of the group until L3 hit the stores around '71 because of its curious album cover. I didnt even know LZ 1 existed until i bought HofHoly ! Led Zep 1 was not really viewed as anywhere near as good as the other albums. Thats the truth of it back in the day. I didnt get a copy of LZ1 until 1978 ! The original album cover only had the nose end of the airship filling the whole front and the lettering was in Torquios . The back cover had the guys in a clear black & white photo not misted like later ones. Ive still got the original album cover and record.
So for FX between guitar and amp what was in use. I heard some delay in the last part. Nice job, Great playing - Thanks 🎸🎸🎸
Dry to the amp, no effects on the cleaner parts. Those two analog overdrives on the dirty lead. But there is tape echo and tape flanging here and there, adding to the swirliness…
Another awesome deep dive JB. I'd love to hear a real zep riff on this amp and wouldn't worry about strikes...larzgallows and jun626 have been doing covers for years.
Maybe they’ll lend it to me again!
Now i get it, when the U.S. made '59 Supro Coronado was broken from the fall on the road , it was repaired by a shop that Jimmy used, the tech most likely used UK or euro parts , it was unintentionally modified..that was the magic.
The first time I heard Good Times Bad Times it floored me. I know where it was, who I was with and what it was played through. There was no Metallica at that time. It was the heaviest thing I had heard up to that point. The stuttering double bass drum hits and the drums themselves were heavier than anything I had heard to that point. It made a deep impression. I had been swimming in a sea of 80's radio up to this point. It was that song, Purple Haze and Jumpin' Jack Flash that changed my world.
Alas, someone else who says, "chalky" with regards to Les Paul tone! Nicely done, thanks!
But... it just IS though
You could totally do your own Master Class on all of this!
Thanks man!
Sounds great
Thanks!
I can't prove it, but I do know Page said in an interview about 1969 that he used a small Rickenbacker amp in the studio for Zeppelin's first album. (I had the privilege of getting one of the first copies of the album in early January of 1969 or late December 1968). I remember Page said "Rickenbacker" because I did a double take and thought to myself (being from America) that I didn't know Rickenbackers made amps as I pictured a Beatles' Rickenbacker guitar in my mind. Maybe it was made by Supro for Rickenbacker? But Page did say a small amp and did not say Valco. I could not be mistaken about that.
I believe what he told these guys when they reproduced the old Supro.
Great observations on Jimmy and Bonzo's and of course Jonsey's in sync playing .....
We thought the start was from that and lo & behold it was! It's straight away the gear and the things that were bundled together with amp and string with wotnot and that's how the stuff that wasn't there already began to be very familiar. Wasn't that great?! Everybody thinks he do the Marshal and the Les Paul but that simply wasn't anything about it all and there are surprises - oh yes ! Nobody look sensibly until the picture was revealed to be a lot of things that simply there - how is that? He take that from me with a verysmall amp overdriven with excellent effort and tone that thrills.
From another eternal Page/Zepp nerd, here’s my sub. 🤘🏻 on, dude!
Yeah!!
😎 Thanks JB ⚓️ I heard LZI in HS freshman art class fall ‘69, small college town California. Vietnam Vet art teacher > Sears turntable in the corner 🤯
Just so you all get some background on JB and his Zep relationship, at 17 yrs old he would sit down and figure out all the parts, bass, rhythm, lead and any harmonies, to a chosen Zep track and the next day he would enthusiastically reveal his discoveries and play the songs the rest of us would struggle for weeks if ever to get right lol, he also had cassette mix tapes of every Zeppelin album with intricate hand drawn covers to reflect the mood of each, in short a true and worthy disciple;)
I forgot literally all of that until you said it just now
@@JB_Eckl great memories and true music appreciation it was, what a great trip;)
Isn't is crazy how some albums hit us so hard we remember the angle of the sun. Pink Floyd dark side of the moon was that way for me..it was like a story and the deep lyrics still make me feel like I'm not alone in my thoughts
Yeah great vidio buddy can't wait to see it all. You got my subscription 👍
I hated Dark Side of the moon as a little kid, it scared me to death! I rediscovered it as a teenager and it became my LIFE. Hahahaha.
Thanks for the sub!
@@JB_Eckl yeah darkside if the moon is great each song flies off the other and it was revelutonary in samples of talking and sounds. Before they were samples , they had to manually press play on recorders and the questions about life that some don't even think about but they haunt me daily..to me it jst feels right...I'm not as familiar with all of there stuff ..I'm spuratic with what I listen to..lol..yeah your vidio was good can't wait to see what's next. Thanx for talking with me I appreciate it
Is that condenser mic in the shot being used for your voice? If so, I hear none of the room at all. Great video!
Hey thanks. For this video I could use the condenser because there wasn’t much ambient room sound at all.
Usually I find that stage mics are the best, because they’re designed to reject everything but your voice. The only thing is the mic has to be in the shot, because it’a supposed to be right by your mouth!
Sometimes I still add a little noise gate too, but not too much.
@@JB_Eckl got a new Shure wireless lav setup with a pretty focused cardio pattern that just kills the room
I have to try the lav setup. Probably the way to go.
Crazy british amp ! ! ! amazing sound ! Genius Page Jimmy
I like the sg with the p-90s sounds awesome
That guitar does have a vibe!
The “JIMMY PAAAAGE” is worth a sub alone 👌🏼
I actually live around the corner from Robert plant, he drinks in the local pub 💪🏼💪🏼 Kidderminster England 🏴
Can someone tell me that the speaker is? Alnico Jensen model…. I have a Valco amp very close to this. I got the right tubes. Now I need the driver. Thx.
epic opening
That was improvised. Haha. I added drums and bass later to make it sounds more like a song.
I had come across a little supro amp sitting on the sidewalk one day in downtown Portland Oregon about 8 to 10yrs ago not knowing anything about it or the history and It was sitting there on the sidewalk all by it's self, no one around so I picked it up and brought it home which was a few feet around the corner in downtown and It was all clean tone sounds I don't remember anything else except the hand full of tubes that were in it and it was fine but I sold it on craigslist not to long after that full face palm!
I don’t know how to deal with this
I saw the Sundragon in Nashville. Yep. It has the sound.
It sure is. Who had it in Nashville?
"Nobody in the history of ever can compete in writing monstrous riffs" Mr. Tony Iommi would like to have a word with you...
OK I’ll allow it! Some people even prefer Sabbath-style riffs over Zeppelin.
I do feel like pound for pound, Page’s catalog of riffs is the ultimate combination of simplicity, uniqueness, style and memorability in the history of rock. Iommi is way up there though.
These guys are amazing and dont get enough press. You can actually buy nos tubes and get closer to the limited editiona sound
I was listening to Van Halen and Metallica in 1989 before ever listening to Zeppelin. When I heard them (Black Dog) for the first time, it floored me. I’d never heard anything so powerful. I was 15. I still get carried to that same place EVERY time I hear Zeppelin. Sometimes more than others but the results are ALWAYS the same to at least some degree. Any chance you could release the schematic,lol?
I almost fell outta my chair at that high-pitched "Jimmmiiiiii Paaaaage".
Tryin’ to keep it fun around here
This is soooooo good. Keep these rockspaining videos coming
Means a lot to hear that, my brother!
