Topic: LED ZEPPELIN SOUND

As seen on TV, a (grey-white) Jimmy Page showed how he used that famous effect, like the sound came out of a box, and with his Gibson Les Paul: amazing "zoom" sound or sustain, but sustain sounds different.
Anybody an idea?

Re: LED ZEPPELIN SOUND

Are you thinking of the Thermin. Its a box with some kind of antenna like thing that senses where your hand is and makes a noise based on where your hand is. The Beach boys also used one in "good vibrations" although completely different than page. I think you can see page use it in the film "the song remains the same"

Re: LED ZEPPELIN SOUND

Led zeppelin 1 was a hardrock formation with brilliant minds.
- Jimmy Page
- Robert Plant (=the voice) they have still a tremendous success.
- Paul Jones
- John 'Bonzo' Bonham
THE SONG WERE THAT SPECIAL EFFECT IS USED IS IN WHOLE LOTTA LOVE. I have everything from ZEP.
