Black Dog to me sounds/feels like a Lester (especially the bends), classic Les Paul on the solo & the main riff/verse tracking sounds like transistor/ss distortion of some type, like mixing up line/mic levels patched into a tape machine or something, very lo-fi. Funky ****. I love how a lot of 60's/70's bands, especially Led Zeppelin though, kept experimenting all the time with guitar sounds.
:hmm:hmm
I am 100% certain that the solo in BD, whichever guitar, is going through a Leslie rotating speaker. I know that sound like I know my name. IMO though, it sounds twangy like a Tele.
The main riff does sound like an LP. That is indeed straight into the board. No guitar amp. They also slammed the front end of a blackface UREI 1176 compressor and triple-tracked it.
