No Quarter-Led Zeppelin:how to make the underwater sound

[Ramanmastr]

Do you think you could make a tutorial on how to play no quarter?

[youzurk]

@Ramanmastr

sorry, I'm not able to

[Ramanmastr]

Alright thats fine,

thanks for replying though.

[hotlanta71]

it was a rhodes piano and a maestro phaser.

[yugrube]

Use what you have.

:^)

[UndisclosedUsername]

nice

[rko123jja]

devil

[YourUpperLip]

no offence but I dont think they had all that stuff in the 70's

[ame624]

Yes they did have alot of pedals.

[rodsnratfinks]

The original sound was a Mk1 Rhodes, Maestro PS-1A phase shifter, and the Fender Dual Showman amplifier. The phaser created the 'watery' effect, the amp made the Rhodes sound more hollow. The sound it slightly easier to achieve with the WurliTzer, because it has a more hollow tone to begin with.

JPJ also used the Rhodes in a similar way for the sound in Misty Mountain Hop and other. As far as I know he never used a WurliTzer EP with Zeppelin.

[youzurk]

correct,

thank you.

(no problem for me, I have a rhodes mkI too... :) )

[rodsnratfinks]

I just love my Mk1. I am still kicking myself for passing on a Wurli 140A, Wurli 200a, Vox Jaguar that was offered to me a few years back.

[nickwellings]

Cool!!! EXACTLY what I was looking for, using a POD. Thanks so much!

[youzurk]

you're welcome!

[funkosphere]

its not the right sound

all you use is a wah wah pedal, with auto wah, and turn it real fast with a whurl piano sound or rhodes. If you have a nord keyboard you can re create it perfectly. no phaser needed

[omarmorek]

John Paul Jones used a phaser (a Maestro PS1A, to be exact). Is that enough for you?

The sound in this video isn't perfect, but it's pretty good.

[Obelix5150]

cool but not played right...

Authentic sound though.

[sungutrule995]

What keyboard is it and what model is the Line6?

[fernberg338]

it sounds like the pulse of it is too fast, but thats just me im not trying to be a know it all

[omarmorek]

It's maybe a tiny bit too fast, but I think it's mainly that there's a bit too much spread and not enough dry signal coming through.

[blitzR348]

how could it be? Signal from piano through guitar multieffect???

[youzurk]

it's not so strange...

[omarmorek]

John Paul Jones used a guitar phaser too (Maestro PS-A1 Phase Shifter).

[blitzR348]

Does it work with every guitar multieff?

[omarmorek]

Holy shit, 6.66 sounds brilliant!

[marylanderpianist]

holy shhit thts cool

[physicalgrafiti12345]

lol 6.66hz.

[sabbath994]

what kind of keyboard is that?

[youzurk]

Wurlitzer EP200A (but this effect works with my Rhodes MKI too)

[sabbath994]

i just use reverb and my vintage univibe

[mazdaplz]

excellent tip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im using different hardware but your guide helped me all the way. one thing i didnt keep in mind: you have to play this gently tapping the keys, if you play hard the distorsion goes all over the place and it's not good for testing; it took a while :D

[blackdog2403]

Standing ovation for you man, this sound sends shivers down my spine!

[gpstudio]

thanks for the tip man.

[wurlytone]

Awesome! I'm guessing you run out of the wurlitzer's aux out into the line 6, but what after that?

[clidiere]

Good, but the best way of getting the sound, is to get a Leslie cabinet & amplifier.

[mountaindew1187]

clidere... J.P.J. used a phaser, don't you think that would be the obvious way to get the sound??

[aaronmb]

that's sweet man.

[epservice]

nice!!

[thumphrey05]

awesome, thanks for this. what kind of phaser is that?

[youzurk]

thank you thumprey05. Line6 PODxt, the only one phaser in this machine is the MXR Phase 90 (simulation).

Glad you like it! ciao!
