A Les Paul Standard, Supro amp and some sort of fuzz like a Fulltone bender will get you pretty much there. Probably should get a wha too. I think Page used a Boss Chorus pedal too.

I think Jimmy Page used a Telecaster on the first Led Zep album and switched to a Les Paul later on.

I think lot of folks have decided even Page doesn't remember what he used on each song. Supros were known to be used early on, and it's generally thought a good bit of later stuff was Vox. The clean parts on "Ten Years Gone" is a Strat middle pickup into an AC30, for example.

He also used a Telecaster a lot for someone who's thought of as an iconic Les Paul user. The first album used a Tele, then Les Paul a good bit on the second (Whole Lotta Love, IIRC, was the middle pickup of a LP Custom), then he moved back to a Tele for the last couple of albums. You can hear his Tele with the B Bender on a few later tracks, and there's footage of him using it live at Knebworth on YouTube.

Then there's that Danelectro on Kashmir, and a few other random instruments like the theremin.

I don't know if this is all captured anywhere, it's just bits and pieces I've accumulated over the years.

Smile Led Zeppelin

Matthew,

Pete Fine at Rainbow Guitars in Tucson plays lead guitar in a Led Zeppelin tribute band. If you call him, I'm sure he would be a wealth of knowledge. He teaches too if you are interested in learning any of the Zep tunes as well. I talk to him most times when I go into the store and he is extremely nice.

Page played a lot of different gear (as mentioned above) but if you want a Led Zeppelin IV live tone then try a Les Paul in a vintage type Marshall amp. As mentioned above, Supro amps and Teles were often used for recording. In fact, both of those were used for the solo to Stairway to Heaven.

The most haunting sound is from a Hurdy-Gurdy.
