Best Led Zeppelin Pinball Mods

Led Zeppelin is a machine that already has plenty of attitude.

Designed by Steve Ritchie, the game combines the band's legendary music with the fast, flowing style that has defined Ritchie's pinball designs for decades. The result is a machine that feels energetic from the first ball and has plenty of visual personality.

That also makes it a great candidate for custom artwork. Here are some of the mods we think work particularly well.

Turn Up the Visual Impact

The cabinet interior is a great place to start.

WizBlades extend the artwork around the playfield and make the inside of the cabinet feel much less empty. With a theme as visually recognisable as Led Zeppelin, adding more artwork around the ball makes the whole game feel more immersive.

It's a relatively simple change, but one you notice every time you play.

Give the Speaker Panel a Bigger Stage

The speaker panel is one of the largest uninterrupted areas on the cabinet, so it can make a huge difference to the overall appearance.

WizPanels are available for all three models — Pro, Premium and LE — and we think all three designs work particularly well with the Led Zeppelin theme.

They turn an otherwise dark section of the backbox into another part of the artwork and help connect the cabinet with the rest of the machine.

Add Some Detail to the Lockdown Bar

The lockdown bar is a small area, but it sits directly in front of the player.

That's where Pro WizEmblems come in.

They add another piece of Led Zeppelin artwork without overwhelming the original design. It's the kind of small detail that becomes especially effective once you've already customised some of the larger areas.

Finish the Backbox

The hinges aren't normally the first thing you think about when customising a pinball machine, but they can be a great finishing touch.

For the Premium, we particularly like the Led Zeppelin Premium WizWings.

They extend the artwork onto the hinge plates and help carry the visual theme around the backbox.

Give the Front Some More Character

The coin door is another area that can easily get overlooked.

A Premium WizDoors design adds another piece of artwork to the front of the cabinet and helps tie the whole machine together.

With a strong music theme like Led Zeppelin, these smaller areas are worth using. The goal isn't to cover every inch of the machine — it's to make the different sections feel like they belong together.

A Machine Made for Customisation

Led Zeppelin already has one of the strongest visual identities in pinball, so the best approach is to enhance it rather than overwhelm it.

Start with WizBlades, add WizPanels to bring more artwork to the backbox, and then use smaller details such as WizEmblems, WizWings and WizDoors to finish the look.
