Smooth, fuzzy, indistinct, and somehow distant versus spiky, clumsy, in-yer-face raggedness.
I don't think anyone makes a pedal for either of those, are you sure it's a gear issue at all and not just about musicians?

Other Pagey tones? I'd have to say based on what he did himself you
won't go too far wrong with an amp and riding the volume control.
Maybe a decent TS style OD or boost pedal for solos/ loud bits.
Yes Pagey's tone sometimes gets heavily overdriven but I think more often than not the amp is set on the edge of breakup. He's always riding the volume control too.
Catalinbread do the RAH pedal which is meant to replicate his tone around 1970, but that's an ineractive type pedal that reacts with the volume control and how hard you play.
PGS Andy does a great review of it which illustrates all this.
I thought it was to use instread of the Fuzz?

'SMALL, lots o'hair/fizzy fuzzy wuzzy......nae sustain' if you require it in Scotish.
I have seen a couple of Zep tributes and they had some nice gear but its the phrasing and the vibrato that they can't capture.
The guy who plays bass in my band also happens to be the guitarist in Fred Zeppelin (as of fairly recently - for a while he was their bassist)...I've yet to see them live though!

Fred Zeppelin and Sack Sabbath this Friday at the Robin 2. Hmm. Too much standing for MrsTheWeary so she won't come. I wonder if I can talk the Eric Jr's into it...
Set your gain quite high, and your master volume quite high too.
Wrap your amp in a large duvet, put amp and duvet into your bedroom wardrobe, shut the door as far as the lead will allow, retreat downstairs, again shutting all doors as far as your lead will allow.
Put earplugs in...and play. Instant JoBo tone.
