Bonham’s Squeaky Drum Pedal


On the song Since I’ve Been Loving You, Bonzo’s pedal squeaks. How pronounced is it on your system? How loud do you have to play the song before you notice it?

@lowrider57 I listened to several Zeppelin tracks last night and there are a lot of quirky little things going on. Pronounced amp buzz is one. I like it when they leave things in that happened in the studio. Like when Ronnie Van Zant exclaims "My Doughnuts, God Damn" on Sweet Home Alabama or when the microphone stand gets knocked over during the recording of Pink Floyd's Hey You.

The reason for this post was to see how many people hear the squeak and to see if the quality of a system has an effect on whether you can hear it or not. With my NAD C 388 amp and KLH Kendall speakers I do not remember it being there. Now with my Hegel H390 and Focal Aria 936s it is very noticeable at normal listening levels. I guess I should have expanded on my post title.
