Communication Breakdown
– originally from Led Zeppelin I

For this song, I used my Fernandez* Telecaster going through the Marshall. The main track was laid down live in the studio with the band. At the time of recording, I couldn't get my hands on a Supro Accordion amplifier, which is what Page used on the original. To achieve a similar sound we tweaked the Marshall for the live take and used the Fender “evil” Twin for the overdubs. I used my Fulltone SoulBender pedal (based on the legendary Colorsound made by SolaSound/England) for the solo. Once again, we saw the opportunity to "make this one our own". Singer, Jon, added a slightly different harmony on the "outro" chorus and, we came up with our own, super-tight ending.

*Known as the "lawsuit guitar" the truth is that Fender never actually sued Fernandez. (Fernandez DID, however, change their the design of their guitar after Gibson sued another 'clone' guitar company)
