He also had "The Tone", guitar players are still trying to emulate the "Whole Lotta Love" tone.

No kidding. I'd give anything to know how he got that compressed sound for the lead in "Whole Lotta Love."

I do know that the song was recorded with a Telecaster (as the first two Zep albums were) and not with a Les Paul (as is always assumed).

I can get close to that sound playing a Les Paul Jr through a Sunn T50c. I know thats not what he used but its close. Supposedly it was a Tele through a Supro. Just watched "In My Time Of Dying" on the second DVD. He definitly had the mojo on that one. Watching this made me realize that Bonzo had no peers.
