I tried to reproduce the tone on this song using my Zoom G2.
I started from a preset that reproduced Jimmy Page sound, I
modified it to get a more crunchy/bluesy tone.
Here is the preset (first the effect, then the value for
each knob), use it as a starting point, it definitely
needs some tweaks depending on your setup.
The videos uploaded by some great guys on Youtube helped a lot
to get a decent tab. Thanks ItsCrozak (damn great playing !)
and QsStellarLemon (great cover, the guy has reproduced a
whole QMS lineup by himself)
There are two guitars, the first one being more bassy and used
for the "whale" sounds at the beginning (you can use your
fingers instead of a pick there).
"Whale" sounds part, mainly bends on low strings:
