Studio recording, 1970-1971. Jimmy Page used his 1959 Telecaster (bridge pickup) into a Supro Coronado 1690T for the solo. No evidence of pedals or additional effects for the clean sections; all tone is amp/guitar. No effects loop or external reverb/delay. Clean tone sections are distinct from the solo, which uses more gain and wah.
