Jimmy Page D I Box ?

[LZpickupers]

Does any one know what type of D I Box Jimmy Page
had during Led Zeppelin or did he went straight into
the mixing broad?

Are you sure about that? Those recordings do not sound like DI box or straight into the mixing board recordings to me.

I'm pretty sure Jimmy didn't do any DI, at least not for the Zeppelin recordings. He's a master of mic placement and is an advocate for that skill, would be out of place for him to do a DI.

from some random interview on the net:

GW: One music-oriented question before we move on to "Houses of the Holy": Tell
me how you got that sound on Black Dog.

Page: We put my Les Paul through a direct box, and from there into a mic
channel. We used the mic amp of the mixing board to get distortion. Then
we ran it through two Urie 1176 Universal compressors in series. Then
each line was triple-tracked. Curiously, I was listening to that track
when we were reviewing the tapes and the guitars almost sound like an
analog synthesizer.

Did he do that a lot or just with Black Dog?

Black Dog-Main Riff
No Quarter-Main Guitar Riff & Solo
Rock and Roll-Main Riff & Solo
Tangerine-Some Parts Here & There
How Many More Times-Main Riff=Direct Injection into console then into Leslie with speakers unrotating

Those are all the songs I know so far where Jimmy has use Direct Injection.
I want to say there's maybe direct injection in Celebration Day to my ears, but
that's just a guess.

I want to know during that time in the 70’s what type of D I Box
could jimmy possiblely had?

I see, I was thinking Led Zeppelin I, II and III recordings like Heartbreaker, Whole Lotta, Since I've Been Loving You, Ramble On, Good Times, etc.

Considering this signal chain:

"We put my Les Paul through a direct box, and from there into a mic channel. We used the mic amp of the mixing board to get distortion. Then we ran it through two Urie 1176 Universal compressors in series. Then each line was triple-tracked.

which DI you choose is the least of your worries. That is a lot of distortion right there. Pick one, and crank everything after it to ten. A (passive) DI is a dead simple tool anyways. There is no "magic", just a way of making a high z signal to a low z.

Re: Jimmy Page D I Box ?

all I can say is that passive source (like passive pickups) completely suck with passive DIs if there is no active circuitry in between
