Like, VOX tone Bender ??
I was farting around with wiring in my Schecter VS Strat and a Rotary a few years ago. I just wired the bridge HB to the Rotary so I could use the 6 positions to run each coil, or both coils [HB] in 3 of the positions, and the other 3 reversed the polarity of the same 3 positions. It got real interesting when using the #2 switch position and the reverse phasing in conjunction of the middle PUP.
It created one tone which nails Page's 59 LP, with the out of phase sound with the push pulls. Which also resembles his Tele's sounds. Maybe that is what he was looking for when he had the push/pulls put in that 59 LP.

I'd never try to imitate Pagey lol... nobody can anyway.

I was a Bass player until one day I borrowed a guitar off my sis's boy friend when I was 15. It was a Guild Thunderbird which I played so much [what bass?] it was given to me as a present.
I had Zep one and two and that guitar and a lot of late night time figuring out al the songs. Page knocked my socks off, and I never played bass again.
Problem is that it took me a LONG time to shake sounding only like Page. People would be impressed at first, and then realize it was all I could do. So as far as "nobody can anyway" I disagree to my detriment. ;) I stopped playing for 25 year and started again about 6 year ago. I sound a lot NOT like page now, I mean to say I do not sound only like Page anymore. ;)
