Questions

About Jimmy Page's gear.

What guitar does Jimmy Page play?

His best known is Number One, the 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard he bought from Joe Walsh in 1969. He has also been seen with a Fender Telecaster, a Gibson EDS-1275 double neck and a Danelectro, and he named a Martin D-28 and a Harmony as his go-to acoustics in the Seventies.

What amp did Jimmy Page use on the first Led Zeppelin album?

He told Total Guitar the amp on the first album was a Supro Coronado 1690T, which fit great with the Telecaster. He said Whole Lotta Love was played through Vox Super Beatle heads with Rickenbacker Transonic cabinets.

When did Jimmy Page start using Marshall amps?

On the 1969 tours. He said he tried Hiwatt Custom 100s first, then moved to Marshall because one could be found anywhere if an amp broke down, and the Marshall stayed from the end of Led Zeppelin II on.

What fuzz pedal did Jimmy Page use?

A Tone Bender MkII. In his 2019 gear demo for The Met he said the whole first album was done with the Telecaster, the Supro, a wah-wah pedal and the Tone Bender.

What record made Jimmy Page want to play guitar?

He told Trouser Press it was Elvis Presley's Baby, Let's Play House. He has also said Link Wray's Rumble had profound attitude, and named Muddy Waters and Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac as blues favourites.
