Get the Tone

Les Paul and Marshall or Telecaster into a Supro amp were favourite Page tones. He also loved the sound of the amp in a hallway which you can replicate with a digital room reverb and a short, almost slap-back delay. Also this month try holding the pick further back, as Jimmy does, and playing with a lighter grip to see how this affects your sound. Jimmy recorded with the amps loud so it’s more power amp drive we’re after than front-end gain; a nice overdrive pedal and use of the guitar’s volume pot to control gain is the way to go.
