This had to be done to follow up on "The Guitars of Jimmy Page" video so I thought to do it while the gear and music was fresh in my mind. I was aided by some great players on this one and the generosity of some of the best known people in the amp business as well.
It's always hard to balance covering them "all" and doing a level of detail without going too long. I did my best but don't hesitate to add what I missed in the comments.
I hope you like it. All the best,
Keith

I saw Led Zeppelin 5 times here in Seattle from just after their second album on. Jimmy Page was absolutely phenomenal and is truly a special player. He was the main reason I bought my first Les Paul which was a 1971 Cherry burst Deluxe. Thanks for the upload Keith!
Love this one keith... I keep learning so much from you...:)

I'm a tone chaser as well and understand you pain. These day I help guitarists by using my 20+ years in production to help them find their tone. Doing so, though, can take days as it requires a perfect combination of pickup, neck material, strings, amp, cabinet and effects. It also requires me to warehouse and service a very large number of guitars, amps and effects. Not a bad way to spend my retirement though :)

@@shaft9000 First, for the record: they were drooling over gear from yesteryear. The late 50s Les Pauls, even then, were "vintage" and considered way better than the guitars Gibson was releasing at the time. But to your bigger point: for so many reasons. Because I love them and want to be them but can't. Including because they are a product of a time and place that is gone and never coming back. Because I'm addicted to an elaborate role-playing fantasy in which playing the guitar, writing music, etc., makes me feel more connected to art that's moved me, and the people that made it... notwithstanding that I'll never meet them, or even seem them perform that music. Because I'm not worrying about whether I'm going to eat today, so I can worry about whether my vintage fuzz sounds just like Jimmy's did in How Many More Times. Etc. etc.

I spent the coin and bought one of the signed editions of Jimmy Page The Anthology. I had to wait a long time as Covid delayed production, but as with all good things, it was worth the wait. I consider this to be a prized possession. Keith, your video and description bring this book to life adding a "live dimension" to the text in the book. Thank you for all you do.
The JP Hiwatt was largely a DR103 with an additional switched gain stage (the big XLR connector) and it essentially gets you to where Gilmour > Power Boost > Hiwatt gets gain wise. A glorious thing.

most people don't even know what it really sounds like - the royal albert hall show isn't a good representation IMO. sounds to me like it was one of the last shows he used the tonebender at. if you listen to bootlegs from 70 and 71 his tone is a lot cleaner and closer to his early marshall tone that would follow. the marshall has a certain high midrange thing that the hiwatt isn't as pronounced in

Excellent content. Thanks Keith👍🏻
What a nice treat on a rainy day. I've been waiting for this one. McErlain is on fire, as usual, and Gretchen and JB sound great, as well. Thanks for putting this together. I've had a couple of Supros, but never managed to get that sound out of them.
Excellent work. Thank you

Thanks Keith, this vid is why I love this channel so much. Informative, and something I can keep watching over and over. I've actually fallen to sleep to this channel. Not because I'm bored, more so because I'm content. My favourite channel.....
You deserve a lot more views and subscriptions your content is pure gold.
A couple of corrections are due... The Rickenbacker amps are Transonics, not TransAtlantics The Yardbirds' bass player before Page was Paul Samwell-Smith, not Sam Sidwell-Smith.
Another fantastic, comprehensive and super interesting video. Jeff’s playing and that of JB Eckles (sp?) we’re inspiring. And you’re 100% right about True Fire! Thank you!
Keith, always great information and told in an entertaining and informative way! Page has been "the man" since the 60's! I saw Zepplin in Charlotte, NC in about 1970 at the Charlotte Coliseum. As I remember the PA went out a couple of times so Page and Plant sat down in chairs down stage center and played and sang acoustically till the PA was restored. Everyone got quiet and I was about 100-120 ft back and could hear clearly!! What a night!!! I own a Sound Production Co and still love all kinds of music to this day.
Fantastic ! Thank you !
Another great video from 5 watt, I can't get enough of this type of content about the the equipment, guitars and the players and how they used their instruments as a package.I am currently reading the Anthology Jimmy Page several others.I Love the breakdown of the time-line and where the various instruments (guitars, amps and effects) were used. As always your delivery is excellent, interesting with impeccable resources Including the brilliant guitar players to lay down the vibe in the examples. Look forward to the next installment of 5 watt, I could watch nothing but 5 watt all day! Thank you, keep the great work.😎
Awesome video and great information!! Gotta love this guy

Hey Keith, thank you so much for helping me get a better Page tone from the gear I already have. Great to lean how the delay, octafuzz and phaser for use in those epic songs. Loved this series. Got to agree with you after seeing this. His pedals played a huge role in his tone. It reminded me of this comment Page made on the film "It might get loud", when he mentions he's got this Les Paul with huge sustain and he wanted to add an extra punch. He engages the pedal and starts playing, and right then and there the classic tone come out. It makes so much sense now after seeing both your videos. Thanks for all the hard work!
So much gear it can make your head spin. love the content! Love my 5WW t-shirt as well.
Perfect timing!
Page was so committed to music. The gear that fell into his path over the years had no other choice but to define the tones and songs in his head.
That was really great from beginning , middle to the end . Somebody's got to keep Rock & Roll going and your doing a fine Job of it🤘😎🤘
Thx....great stuff
Thank you so much Keith! I've been really wanting a video like this, I absolutely love your channel and all the content you make. Absolutely amazing Jimmy Page things I just keep learning about! If you could I'd love a video in this similar fashion to the effects and amps Pink Floyd/David Gilmore used over the years
Another rockin' episode! 🎸🎸🎸

Another piece of greatness Keith, thank you. It's so great to have access to this kind of info now. I'd kill for it back when I was growing up and what little info you could gather was at least 80% wrong. A great benefit for guitarists today.
This is awesome!!!
Fantastic! Thanks

Hi Keith! Great topic man..sorry I missed this live.. catching up as always..🤘😜🎸🎶❤️☮️..hope this finds u well my friend!
great info thanks for sharing!
Keith, If you want to move people you have to move air. And what better way to move air than with Marshall cabinets housing 4 speakers each being energized with 100 watt heads of power? I use my little Fender Deluxe Reverb these days in line with the 5 Watt World philosophy, but I do miss those BIG amp days.
Great stuff
I am very lucky to have a Roland Chorus Echo machine. Tape delay & excellent reverb a durb. Love that thing.

Thanks! You do good videos, man! :)
I’ve got three pieces of gear that work really well for getting a passable Page tone (i.e. good enough to play Whole Lotta Love) at home. A Les Paul, a cable, and a Champ. Specifically, a Les Paul Standard 60’s (skinny neck, grovers, Alnico 5) and my Champ is a Victoria 518.

a lot of the page sound is in the les paul and getting the tube power section working. my suggestion, take 10 minutes with a soldering iron and switch your guitar over to 50s wiring. all you have to do is desolder the tone caps and solder them back onto the opposite lugs diagonally. the 50s wiring and working the knobs on the guitar are a big part of his sound. with 50s wiring rolling off the volume knob cuts bass and mids instead of treble. this is where the bright clean twangy les paul tone that's all over zeppelin records comes from

@@andrewgarcia3136 In 1999 I had a Les Paul Standard that I had hacked based on everything I could find about Page's specifications. The Luthier who did all the work was Bill Asher, son of Elizabeth Montgomery... the guy is a genius. He shaved down the neck to almost Strat size, installed push-pull pots and tapped the coils. It had so many sounds that you could always find a new one. It was an amazing guitar until I sold it.
I love hearing Jeff McErlain play, and he's a great teacher too. He's my son's instructor, and mine too, although he doesn't know it. :-) Thanks TrueFire.

Keith - another beautifully and comprehensively researched video. Just learning about the amps alone was so instructive - the effects info is icing on the cake. And Jeff, Gretchen, and JB’s playing really enhanced the story. Jeff’s channeling of all British Blues is so evocative of the sound - just sublime. PS. One correction - the Yardbirds’ bass player (and fledgling producer until he left the band) is named Paul Samwell-Smith - “Sam” was his nickname. Another winner here my friend!
