The guitar parts are approximate and there are some errors but I think the video backs a possible theory of how he got this tone. I used the vinyl album copy (from '72!) as a reference since every new remaster/remix sounds a bit different from each other, and from the original.

Blackmore's guitar is of course removed as in the rest of my videos but I thought I would clear that up again just in case.

The treble booster is in the signal chain but in the OFF position. At this moment I believe that Blackmore could have used it this way too when playing live. Being non-true bypass, the pedal still affected the sound.
This current theory is subject to change as I dig more into Blackmore's sound. Considering that a simple shift in microphone position can yield very different results I'm pretty sure that new alternatives will come out in future videos. (Edit: Please watch the latest MIJ video for a more accurate sound using the modified Hornby Skewes booster).
