Guitar Effects Led Zeppelin
What guitar effects were used in the led zeppelin song “over the hills and far away”?
In other words, how might I replicate Page’s sound on said song?
Page plays a six-string acoustic guitar introduction with a melody reminiscent of “White Summer”. Page repeats the theme with 12-string acoustic guitar in unison. In an interview published in Guitar World magazine’s November 1993 issue, Page commented on the construction of the song:
GW: There’s an acoustic guitar running throughout the song. Did you play a main acoustic and then overdub an electric?
Page: No, we played it through entirely as you know it, but I was playing electric.
GW: So you simply edited out of the beginning?
Page: Yeah, that’s right. “Presumably”. It sounds that way. It sounds like the acoustic is going straight through.
Plant’s vocals enter on the next repetition. He tenderly offers himself to the “lady” who’s “got the love [he] need[s].” The acoustic guitars build in a crescendo toward the abrupt infusion of Page’s electric guitars.
Through the pre-verse interludes and instrumental bridge, “Over the Hills and Far Away” stands out as an example of Jones and Bonham’s tight interplay. Following the final verse, the rhythm section fades out, gradually replaced by the echo returns from Page’s electric guitar and a few chords played by Jones on harpsichord.[2] In the final 8 bars, Page executes a linearly descending/ascending sequence and then concludes with the idiomatic V-I cadence on pedal steel guitar.

Cheap guitar pedals/effects unit?
Been playing a year and half of guitar and now wish to buy a guitar pedal or effects unit.
I mostly play black sabbath, metallica, Alice Cooper, led Zeppelin
the Boss pedals cost above 80$
any good alternatives under perhaps 20-30$?
The Multi FX pedal by Gear4Music would be a good buy.
