Stairway to heaven amp settings — Fender Frontman 10G
The Led zeppelin guitar tone for “Stairway to heaven”, dialed in for a Fender Frontman 10G with a Squier Classic Vibe 60s Stratocaster. Studio version, Led Zeppelin IV (1971) — iconic guitar solo
1959 Fender Telecaster (Dragon Tele, bridge pickup) into a cranked 1959 Supro 1690T Coronado (1x12 mod)
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 2 |
| Bass | 5 |
| Treble | 5 |
| Master | 4 |
01Zoom G1X FOUR (Overdrive Block: 'GoldDrive' / Klon style)
Provides the cranked vintage tube grit into the Frontman's clean input
02Zoom G1X FOUR (Amp Model Block: 'MS 800' / Marshall JCM style)
Acts as the preamp to replicate the cranked Supro midrange and sag
03Zoom G1X FOUR (Delay Block: 'Delay' / subtle room slap)
Replicates the Headley Grange stairwell ambient decay
The Fender Frontman 10G has only Bass and Treble controls and lacks natural tube midrange, so keep it flat on the clean channel with Gain down to avoid solid-state fizz. Use the Zoom G1X FOUR's drive and preamp blocks as the primary gain source to emulate the cranked Supro. Rolling your Strat's tone knob to 8 rounds off the sharp bridge single-coil bite to better match Jimmy Page's punchier vintage Telecaster. Clean acoustic rhythm: switch the Zoom patch off and select the neck+middle position.
