Lately I've been trying to re-create a sound similar to Page's solo for Fool In The Rain, where I've read he used a MXR Blue box for the tone. The actual song I want to cover is Rose In The Heather by Nazareth, which sounds somewhat close. So far I've come up with using a Kemper Fuzz and analog octaver, along with a flanger. Just wondering if anyone has attempted the JP Fool In The Rain tone?
MXR Blue box?

Seem to remember Manny using a Blue Box round about the Hair Of the Dog era so I think you are on the right track.
I used to have a 70s Blue Box and I probably only bought that because I thought Manny had used one.
Thanks to my older brother, Nazareth were the first band I was ever into. -
weren’t they brilliant? I was lucky enough to see them play an afternoon slot in an Edinburgh nightclub in the mid eighties. Well past their ‘famous’ stage. They were absolutely amazing. Dan Mcaffertys’ voice is even more outstanding live.

Yes, such a fantastic band. Still listen to them now.

According to Guitar World magazine:
The first true, mass-produced guitar synth was the Avatar by ARP, used famously by Jimmy Page on the Led Zeppelin song Fool in the Rain. It had a polyphonic fuzz but was just capable of monophonic synth sounds.
My comment: He also was a Roland guitar synthesizer endorser in the 1970s (and 1980s, for that matter). He may have also had a Roland guitar synth with polyphonic fuzz, filtering, and octave effects when he recorded this song.

My old guitar teacher had an ARP Avatar which he loaned to me for a few weeks when I was in my teens. It was great fun but extremely limited. It kakes you realise just how lucky we are with today’s technology 😎

Sad that Manny Charlton from Nazareth has passed away this week. 😞

That sucks. My condolences

RIP Manny. Super cool band. Seeing the back of the Loud N Proud cover with the custom SG sitting there was one of the early times that made me want to become a guitarist!
