    I saw Jimi for the firs time in 1968 at the Grande Ballroom. I was standing right at the stage. Jimi had 4 -100 watt Marshalls and a Strat and a wah wah with fuzz period!! Went on to see him 3 times after this. Good old 60's!!!

    Hendrix was really the first true electric guitar player in that he didn't shy from any of the idiosyncratic and novel sounds you could achieve with the instrument. He embraced it all but most importantly mastered these new sounds in a way no one really had. I think that's a big reason he stood out and informed so many players after. Players were doing unique stuff for sure but he played effects and loud amps as instruments in themselves

    You are making great content Nik. When I was a young man in the early 90's I was doing exactly what you are doing... diving into SRV/Hendrix and acquiring the real deal vintage guitars and gear. I have been watching your videos from the start and your conclusions are exactly what I came to as well. Keep up the great work and thanks for doing what you do.... and giving these young guitar players exposure.

    had been listening to Hendrix as background music as a kid, but realized how great he was as an adult, he would still blow everyone away if he were alive today,
    elevator music would be considered rock music if he had not come along, he probably knew he was the best guitar player in the world, but refused to admit it,
    probably the reason he wanted to meet Clapton and Beck was because no one had heard of him and they were the top guitar players back then,
    if anyone listens to his interviews and documentaries he burned himself out literally, what he did can be copied, but can't copy his mind, congratulations great analogy.

    @johnmartin5153 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Try doing a set up just like jimi ( wah- fuzz face- octavia- vibe) and after the vibe put a EHX LPB-1 to drive it and add a little ( air) feeling It kinda gives the feel of a opened up high wattage amp. I do this on a Marshall dsl 20 on the clean channel. With this dual rectifier amp its hard to push it like jimi that’s why the lpb 1. If I’m in high gain band of Gypsies territory I sometimes will switch over to the gain channel set to a low crunch and that will take care of the univibe starting to sound swishy and crappy when there’s too much fuzz infront of it. Instead of switching the pedals around I always tried to replicate the air jimi was moving with those 100 watt heads. I think that is the true challenge we’re all facing with this.

      @@dreyn7780 so you somehow think you “need” jh branded or Dunlop branded gear to achieve Hendrix tones? What do you think he played in the 60’s before Dunlop existed? Yikes. You are severely misinformed, bub. Hendrix played Dallas Arbiter fuzz faces (silicon later) Vox wah’s, an Octavio style pedal, and a Univibe . So, again, Nik nails all of these things here, using real vintage gear and amazing playing. You commented on a year old post, attempting to discredit a dude who’s done a lot to educate and inform people about vintage gear and playing styles.Where is your “credible” video regarding Hendrix tone, or anything else other than video games? 🤦‍♂️

    Excellent educational vid on Hendrix pedal tones. He is a great example of it's not just great guitar playing. But also knowing and understanding how those pedals come together to make that amazing tone. Those built in pre's and the non true bypass wah really helps or hinders the tone. Overall you have to mess with every part of the rig and experiment. Dial the amp tones. Perhaps turn up the treble to make up for the wah dulling of the chain. Your instrument cables also will effect your tone. And that is another way to tweak it. And the guitar volume is key for clean, dirty rhythm, and soaring lead. Thanks for these tips. And as always some amazing guitar playing! You really capture Hendrix's feel, style and vibe. 👍🏻

    Fuzz is such a universe. The vintage style germanium transistors are still my favorite stuff. They do not make Germanium transistors anymore. A pair, hand picked for a Fuzz Face is 20 duckets these days and the stock is dwindling. Hendix actually preferred the silicon transistor variety. Likely because the germanium ones sputtered on a hot day but sounded golden on a cool day or the studio.

    I was lucky enough last year to see the completed film of Jimi playing Royal Albert Hall in 1969.( I also went to gig!)
    The numerous close ups are superb and reveal his technique like no other film. What struck me is that at the heart of Jimi’s sound was a beautiful Strat plugged into overdriven Marshall Amps. It’s that simple.
    Also don’t forget his long powerful fingers that helped him wring every last drop out of each note.
    The effects : the fuzz, and wah, added extra colour to the sound but I’m afraid towards the end of his life they started to take over.

      That was his setup. When he used an Octavia, it would come after the Fuzz Face.

      Looks like hes got the guitar cable round the back of the other pedals and into the wah first then fuzz then univibe. So he didn't have a load of loose cable hanging about. Makes the signal look backwards almost but I think its still wah fuzz then vibe how he always had it for example woodstock

      One thing that inspires me is getting those effects and sounds from the albums that Jimi didn’t have the tech to recreate live yet.
      I’m sure he’d have had an Echorec or Echoplex going into 71’, and then phasers and flange weren’t far behind. Also, live setups in general became better in the 70s, which was something Jimi was always having trouble with.
      Gilmour had a very similar setup to Hendrix’s by 71’, a Bc109 Si Fuzz Face, and he had the Wah first as well, with a Univibe by 72’, and then an Echorec or two. The big difference was the amp, where Jimi was getting that cranked Marshall sound as a base, Gilmour used super clean high headroom Hiwatts.
      I either use a Fulltone Clyde Deluxe or Vox 186 Wah>BC109 Fuzz Face>Black Arts Toneworks Pharoah>Catalinbread DLS>Uni Vibe>Blackout Effectors Sibling Optical Phaser>Kilobyte Delay>Boss DD3
      Another killer Fuzz Face is the Deep Trip BOG, which is a Silicon circuit, but the impedance is set to handle Wahs and it has Bass and Treble pots, as well as Bias control, which can get you closer to that Germanium tone or the highest gain Silicon. I’ve collected and went through numerous Uni Vibes and Fuzz Faces, and I always seem to go back to the BC109, because it cleans up so well. I like the Dirty Little Secret always on, because I can get a Marshall Crunch with just about any amp, which the Fuzz Face just loves.

    You can get the jimmie sound at home ,, you need ten champ amps ,daisy chained together, cranked to ten, a good fuzz, a echo type effect for that leslie sound ,, maybe a phaser and a dallas range masterand a wah. A little reverb, that all that was available back in the day. Look to what Trower was using. He carried on with the Jimmie thing. The univibe is hard to come by, but other things will get you close.

    Super cool man! If you are ever in the Houston area I’ll have to have you play my ‘68 maple cap Olympic White strat. It has had a complete refret in the 80s and lots of crowning and leveling over the years, but I used the same style small frets as what was originally on the guitar. I’m considering refretting with big frets...it certainly seems to make it easier. I feel like Hendrix may have struggled a bit with bending when he used the CBS era strats versus when he used the pre-CBS guitars...maybe that’s just me?
    This has been super helpful for me with pedal order. I always ran my old Univibe, Crest Fuzz and Vox wah in the Hendrix order (and recently my Stu Castledine cheese wedge Octavia), but I was never satisfied with that sound. I have to remember that I play through my ‘65 Super Reverb and not a full Marshall stack on 11 (!) and I think your advice has really made quite a difference!

    Awesome vid and tones man. The only thing I'll say is that in my experience going the the route of using a 'fuzz friendly buffer' in your otherwise true bypass wah that is only on when the wah is engaged is more effective than putting the wah after... You can get some cool clean wah tones with the fuzz on and gtr vol rolled back by doing it your way but The full on fuzz with wah gets reall screechy and gross. If the wah is first with a buffer this works out much better. Keep the cool vids comin bro!

    Hey Nik
    I noticed in the new video of Jimi in Maui . During Voodoo Child on the stage in front of him looking closely l could see all the pedals he was using. You can see a tone bender . zonk like u held up in this clip
    You have probably seen this already but normally in these videos they only show him and his GUITAR
    I thought this was great for someone who’s really into what you are discussing and so on

      The Riff w Nik Sevigny Because, optical vibes are what was used in the 60’s and in my experience, I haven’t heard a digital version that can compete. There are of course modern day optical vibes such as the Earthquaker Depths that capture that vintage sound and then some. I also feel that the digital vibes kill so much of the top end sparkle that still remains with the optical. You’re unit is optical, correct?
