Effects & Signal Chain

Notes

Studio recording, 1971. All evidence points to the Les Paul/Marshall rig for the 'Rock and Roll' riff section. No evidence of fuzz or wah on the riff; those were used on other Zeppelin tracks/solos. No evidence of pedals in the riff section signal chain.

Difficulty

The riff is challenging due to its fast tempo, tight rhythmic precision, and need for clean articulation at high volume, but does not require advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
