Led Zeppelin IV Ascension — Harmony Acoustic, Electric XII & Telecaster Solo
The arrangement begins with Page’s Harmony Sovereign acoustic, adds a Fender Electric XII and culminates in a solo recorded on his 1959 Dragon Telecaster. Page has confirmed that the modified Supro Coronado associated with his early studio work was used for the solo, although no exact Stairway control sheet survives, so the amplifier settings are approximated from the documented Supro configuration.

Signal Chain
Notes
Allow the arrangement to grow gradually rather than making the acoustic intro too large. The solo tone should be bright, vocal and relatively low gain.
