I bought a Clapton Strat and an OCD pedal - works great . Emerson you ought to be a solo artist . You have the gift of music , Early Robin Trower and Jimmy Dewar mid 1970's is my go to for GREAT MUSIC . Cheers .
Great video. I’ve got two Ivors (‘67 and ‘68) and really want to get a ‘69 as well. These pedals have totally changed my approach to both clean and overdrive. I can’t say enough great things about them.
Badass! When you went thru all three I think I dug the ‘69 the most as far as the clean to wooly bloom you got. I have a 68 and want to get another eventually. Like you say, the attention to detail is amazing. Great video!
Emerson; got my '70 TFK Ivor his week - fierce throwback tone (5 Germino heads here). Next want a BC183 build 'Swinford' spec. That '68 Si unit above is outstanding; not better or worse - just a killer tranny/setup by DF. Esp. when you live in the 6-8 Vol. knob range on guitar. Thx for the inspiring demo- cheers !
@@emersonswinford8949 Love ur strat/tone™. #1: '10 Fillmore, Greg built to fall '67 JTM (non-dual rec.) Cream spec. three 100 watters have Merren (trannies)/mustards/vintage glass (all my heads run 60s glass). lucky to have two '70 1982A/B (stock Pulsonic) cabs. taking ivor out to the briar patch this wknd. thx for the E6 chord shape on ORW vid. =|
Hey Emerson, very helpful video, love the playing!. Do you know the nut width of your '66 stratocaster?. Is it 43mms or one of the examples that's just a wee bit shyer at around 40-41mms?. Thanks, Peace.
Epic review of ivor fuzz!! Great sounding and wonderful playing!! I grab the silver '68 bc183 from dustin last year. Probably the best Fuzz i ever played. Thinking about take another germanium (nkt). How much different it is between those two?? Worth to try germanium?
Thanks! I like the 183 a lot for offering a ton of fuzz and sustain, prob more than NKT, but still being warm sounding like NKTs. The difference would be that the NKT really has that lovely “clean” tone w the volume rolled back on your Gtr. And then all the shades of dirt to full on fuzz. The 183 does that too, but not as well IMO. So it depends how Fuzz crazy you are? I just love how they look and having the tone options but truthfully it’s like having several strats…oh I have several strats too! 😉
@@emersonswinford8949 yes lower gain, but they sound really fat and I guess rounder( if that makes sense) on the neck pick. I play Les Paul's but they sound great with fender guitars too.
The RUEXP'ed examples are exceptional! I really like the relative minor riff and how you improvised with each fuzz as well. Here is 3rd stone iso track Jimi using guitar volume pickup selector and FF. th-cam.com/video/DcHef8Bchas/w-d-xo.html
Thanks! Yes I’ve listened to that 100s of times and it always amazes me. Pure magic. I think prob he did most of it on the middle pickup(?) I did a guitar lesson on it, somewhere on TH-cam land…
@@emersonswinford8949 I watched your lesson a few of times now and I thought you may have listened to the iso-track its part magic part voodoo! He used the middle pickup then flicks it to the bridge. What is so amazing is that he came up with all of this so quickly he just arrived in England he never played a Marshall stack then bam 3rd stone is born. He paid Jim Marshall in full for his amps and cabinets in return Jim serviced Hendrix's gear while in the UK.
@@emersonswinford8949 Hiya Emerson, i'm in the process of getting a Fuzzface, a new-old build here in the U.K so your videos are very helpful, i'm currently running a D.A.M Tonebender which is a great unit thru a Matamp/Strat set-up but as i need the Wah wah too the fuzzface seems the best way to go, keep up the great work mate, all the best, Keiran.
@@emersonswinford8949 I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible after many costly and unsatisfactory attempts, i think we spend too much time on trying to get the " Perfect "sound in our head rather than just playing.

Thanks! Yeah that 69 could even get dialed in more like the 66, as in a little rounder. But it’s got the cut and mids to get thru a drummers cymbals.

@@talpajam man, what a great set up! Btw he uses that E6 on ThirdStone from the Sun too 👍

Sorry, your '65 stratocaster.
It must be one of the first with the big headstock!.
Beautiful man, too beautiful!.
Peace.
Hey yeah it’s fairly wide, but I don’t know precisely. It’s Dec 65 so definitely one of the first of the big headstocks. Thanks!

Great stuff
Thank you!
That was really cool. I have the 2 bonamassa fuzz faces( the bigger ones). I like em'. Have you ever tried them or compare these Ivors to them?
Hey thnx! No but I’ve been very curious about those. Are they lower gain?
@@emersonswinford8949 yes lower gain, but they sound really fat and I guess rounder( if that makes sense) on the neck pick. I play Les Paul's but they sound great with fender guitars too.
Incredible. Also try the Eric Johnson signature fuzz, that thing is crazy good.
Thanks! Had one, and stupidly sold it.
Thas was interesting 😏! Emerson,by the way ,wheres the other drill songs?
Throw a Chase Fuzz Secret preamp behind the fuzz and make it sound even better. Check it out.
thats badass
Emerson I will ask Fender to consider building a " Emerson Swinford Custom Shop 1966 Stratocaster . "
Thanks 😊
@@emersonswinford8949 I will do this June 13 2022 . My location CYYZ
My mistake at 9:05…USE Carbon Zinc NOT Alkaline batteries. Alkaline tend to sound harsh, Carbon Zinc sound better and are cheap too.

i like the 66, why i'm not sure as they all sound great, that is a dream '65 Strat too, Emerson is great at nailing those Jimi tones, Peace.
Thanks Tom!
