In the ever constant pursuit of trying to improve, maybe headphones may help with this one.
That being said....
As part of the continuing HENDRIX series, we explore Jimi’s pedal selection.
The wah wah, fuzz, uni vibe and octavia are staples when speaking the language of Mr Jimi.
Also i want to thank my friends
King Zapata (gary clark jr, zapata, Austin slinger)

For their contributions.
I hope you guys dig this, it was a task to try and capture what i wanted to say.
Stay tuned for more HENDRIX content Coming Soon!
Until we meet again.... PEACE! - เพลง
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!!!
@Scott Williams Good times, nice vibes and GREAT music!!
Are you deaf?
I saw jimi at the Miami jai alai in '70 with the experience. He was all dressed up like a gypsy from head to toe and loud as hell. I was 15 or 16.
Amazing!!
Still the greatest.noboby even comes close. Sure I sound like a fan boy but his work is beyond all others.i have pretty much everything that has been released to the public. He was a true leader.
@@whotendsthefire7234 indeed , such masterpieces like machine gun and hey baby maui...
Ummm srv
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
The video i have been looking for for a long time. Great analysis thank you !
Man this is my new favorite video... Thank you for all the info and pieces of advice !!! 🙌👍
Thanks for the info!! Great playing I hear so much Jimi going on sounds awesome
Awesome video! Thanks man. Love your playing
Awesome Nik, thank you.
I've been watching both You and Matthew to help shape my tone and equipment.
Thank you so much for the video!! I’m just starting to get into signal chains and a proper setup. You’ve definitely changed the way I’m setting up my pedals. Thank you bro!!!
Killer video man, super informative and your tones at the end are spot on, Subbed. Also shoutout to Zapata!!
Thanks man. He is a great friend. You have a great channel as well! Helping alot of people
Something people don't
talk about.
Jimi and his effects pedals.
Toney Isaiah well here it is
Very helpful and awesome playing. Thanks mate!
I can tell you really love Hendrix !! Great job and knowledge !!😁😁
Wow !!!!!! Thank you ! Super cool effort
Such an amazing video! Shows off your skills and knowledge SO well! Keep em' comin'
Thanks my friend!
This video is incredible! Exactly the type of content we need! Thanks for continuing to crush it!
@@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? 🤦♂️
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.
Your honey univibe and fuzz original are fabulous!
OH WOW! You seem to pull out your own wild sounds there toward the end... impressive video!
Well done! Very well done and thank you so much. WOW!!! I've wondered for years how, when and where these effects were used in Jimi's songs.
With this wonderful demonstration I am now truly enlightened or as Jimi would say "EXPERIENCED".
Rock On Brother!!
An excellent demonstration on Hendrix‘S skills.
Great sound Nik!!
This is fucking badass, man. Very well done.
Your videos are the inspiration that I need and my bank balance hates. Can't take it with you, so live for now. Thank you, Brother.
Subbed. Great stuff. Solid playing and setup.
Fist minute and I already liked. It's great seeing knowledgable guitarist give their Hendrix tone tips. Definitely interested in Hendrix licks videos. Keep it coming! Thanks!
Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it!
That's some fantastic JIMI sound'n jamm'n bro !
Inspiring video Nik....cool to here from your quests, I'm a fan of all three especially Zapata....Thankyou my friend !!!
Thank you for checking it out!
my new favorite youtube video !!
The demo melted my face 😵😵 sick!!!
Mine too!
Great video.....Thanks for the insight,also great playing.
Thank you sir!
Just subbed, you had me as soon as I saw "Hendrix"!!!! LOL Thanks man.
Thank you. I appreciate it!
Amazing video and playing nick...as I've said before you're content quility is evolving every time🍻🍻🍻
Thank you very much. Im trying
Thanks for playing Bold as Love!!! You killed it!
Thanks for checking out the video!!
Woah.. love your in depth explanation 👌
Great video. You can really appreciate that with this signal chain a big iron hard hitting loud as hell stack is the secret sauce. It really fills out all those low end frequencies.
Fabulous ! I do not play guitar but I enjoyed that video a lot ! Very well done.
Increíble el video. Felicitaciones desde Argentina. Saludos !!!
Guitar - Fuzz Face - Octavio - wah - Uni-Vibe - Amp
Incredible sound!!!
Thanks for a great review. Very inspiring.
Great informative video, and awesome playing Nik 👊🏼
Thanks Brad! A fellow Hendrix fan!!!👍🏼
This is wicked!🔥
Thank you!!
As always Nik mind blowing performance. Wish I was your neighbor.
I just discovered your site yesterday. Really like your playing! ✌️ peace
Dude!! So AMAZING!! Probably one of my favorite videos you have done so far!!
Being a Hendrix Junkie for over 30 years
I truly appreciate this video so much 🔥
Thank you so much brotha 🔥🎸🔥
Thank you my man. Im glad you like it
Thanks so much for explaining all these super interesting JH gear details! I'm for the first time in my life starting to play in a band and i'm putting my 'low' budget Fulltone Hendrix rig together. So fari i've got my vintage strat, a mk1 69, a Fulltone Clyde standard and a fender blues junior. Getting there, slowly but surely. Stil really want the univibe/octavia/silicon fuzz pedals, and a delay to finish it off. Grtz from 1 of the biggest JH fans out there!
AWESOME VIDEO!!!!! thanks nik.
Thanks Ben!
Fantastic!! Jimi placed the wah first, then the fuzz, that's a very different sound. Fuzz first is great too, of course.
How? I get no wah that way.
@@TheRhino2719 Dave fox makes a small "Fuzz friendly " buffer to put into the wah.....then it will work without the the fuzz squealing with feeedback
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.
Well thank you. Means alot. I appreciate it!
That's funny, when I was a young man . I was a young man when all this got started! I saw the yardbirds when I was 11 years old.
Sorry for being late ......Super playing you got a really great sound Nik
Thanks a lot!
Great video 👍🏼👍🏼🎸
👍🏼 Inspired tones indeed Nik, I'd love to play thru that rig, sounds awesome. Thanks man 👍🏼
Your setup sounds SICK!!!!!!!!
Awesome 👌
Awesome segment brother! :)
Thank you so much!
Man that was awesome Nik. i message you a while ago about pedal placement with regards to fuzz and uni-vibe. I was interested to seeing you use the vibe in a loop cause i really dont like the vibe after the fuzz but the fuzz sounds so much better first im definitely with you on that one. I laughed so hard when you said you didnt want to play guitar to much , mate you could play for two hours and id watch every minute haha.
Thanks man. Some days are better than others. It can get rough out there haha. I just do what i can. Im glad you enjoy the videos
@@theriffwniksevigny5473 stay strong man. It's the weirdest time any of us have lived though and that's not just covid 19 based. The press hear and in the states are super negative about everything and that just brings you right down. Your doing some excellent stuff Nik I hope the channel just keeps growing. I don't no if you watch Dave Simpson from the uk but he started small and just stuck with it he's getting there mate slowly. If I get the chance I'm name dropping you in the comments section and I'm not the only one. Be well mate looking forward to the next video 😁😁
Nice playing and lesson! Thanks
Thank you!
Sounding badass brother man!
Thanks Mike! I appreciate it
Thank you for demo-ing this with other Hendrix-relevant pedals. I would like to see more videos on the Sabbadius with it's expression pedal. I haven't found any good videos of the Funky-Vibe with an expression pedal. Sure wish I could.
Its a speed pedal. So if you adjust the speed with your hand, its going to give you the same results
Great video! 🙌🏼
Thanks my friend!
Oh very nice!
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. 👍🏻
Man you sound just as good as Jimi! Best Jimi coverer I’ve ever heard, best TH-cam guitarist I’ve ever heard. If you had a band you’d be top notch. Granted he came up with the style and you’re just copying it, but still! There’re more technical guitarists than you but they’re more technical than Jimi too 😂 you capture the vibe better than anybody I’ve heard.
Nice vid., O C T A V I A is super cool.
Great video....
I go down the Hendrix rabbit hole quite often and listen to only him for days on end. You obviously "get" him. Nice playing, a lot of cool riffs. Machine gun in particular was cool and the end of video runs.....you could probably rip out Machine Gun in its entirety with your skill.
Man this guy killed it man! He must be in a tribute band
Wunderbar!
Awesome video, and great to see everybody's setup. I've been doing wah-vibe-fuzz, as a tip from Nic at Sabbadius. The preamp in his vibe fixes any weird interaction between my wah and fuzz. But now I'm gonna try fuzz first.
Yea. When using the fuzz first, i just found, as it degrades down the line, it keeps everything huge sounding. Also great wah and octavia interaction
Thanks for checking out the video, you have an amazing channel as well! I appreciate any interest!
The Riff w Nik Sevigny I wonder if you reached out to Randy Hanson for some info if he’d be cool about it. He’s the guy
John Martin video coming soon. Randy is a great friend!
The Riff w Nik Sevigny 🤯🤯🤯 dude are you serious!!?? I’m beyond stoked for that !
Really enjoyed video. Had a stroke a couple of years ago and watching this video gave me the urge to just pick my guitar up for a few minutes .. just getting the mental block has been the issue. Thanks again.
Just reading this is motivation. Remember, pick up the guitar when you feel inspired, and just play, whatever you want. Its freeing. Peace!
Music is healing just give the chance it needs. ☮️ ❤️
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.
Keep more vids like this coming!!!👍🏻
I've been a Hendrix fun and player for more than 30yrs.....my friend that is the closest sound I've ever heard.....my hats off to you
Im just trying. Thats all we can do! Thank you
All of Jimi’s music influenced me but one album sticks out,The Cry Of Love/Valley’s Of Neptune.
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
Thanks man your channel is very informative and you are right on with you knowledge
Be Well my friend
Respect.
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!
Thanks man. I appreciate it. I would say , stay tuned to next week. You may be surprised!
Hey nick I just heard that during the band of Gypsies era hendrix used a fuzz face with an OCTAVIA circuit striped of its octave components. That’s probably why you heard those germanium transistors during that time. Cool video!
great ! bro
In a future video can you compare the BOG vs Rainbow Bridge signal chain? Any Marshall amps in your stable? Keep up the amazing content. Looking forward to more Jimi!
Great Tips , More.....................
Ofc i wanna see content about Jimi and gear:)
Excellent video
Thank you Jim!
yup this is the jimi tone. 100% accurate. you just need the radio signals through the amp via isle of wight. but the playing is F'n incredible! you've channeled the spirit of Jimi.
Thank you. The fuzz face will transit some radio if the volume is rolled back!
@@theriffwniksevigny5473 Never knew about the univibe utilized as a preamp. Jimmy page used the preamp section of his echoplex as a clean boost as well
Great Vid!!!!!!
I thank you✌🏻
Good Take On Jimi Hendrix Your Style Of Playin Remains Me Of Rowan Robinson
Holy shit you crushed those Jimi tones
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.
This is completely accurate! Thank you for sharing!!!
Don't forget his Echoplex. I Had one but sold it ,like a idiot. But now I have a Fulltone Tape echo. It's a keeper for sure !Great that your covering Jimi one of my all time favs.🎸😎👍
His echo is being sold at auction now at Heritage Auctions for
$12,188. Check it out.!👍
He used a Vox coiled chord too they cut high frequencies.
All that I can say is DAMN!!!!!
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
For what it's worth, the 2 times I got to see Hendrix and in countless pix the order was wah, fuzz and then the vibe and/or Octavio.
Hi I had jimis tech for a tour and he did all 69 Europe Usa tour and told me he made a triple Y cord for the marshals insred of slaving them together he made me one too I still have it benifits were if one amp went down still two working and less radio interfearance when pedals on . Great content please cover jimis take on Sgt. Pepper , Graham Oliver founder of Saxon
Cool! Graham Oliver from Saxon. I'm a long time fan of Saxon. Seen y'all numerous times back in the day when y'all would come thru Dallas, Tx. Keep on rockin' And yes, I'm an old man now, but still rockin'.
That Voodoo child was phenomenal
G’day Soss!
The best guitar channel!
Your love by the artists and guitar icons, plus all the research and love by the music really inspire me!
Thank you so much!
Did you see the new HD Voodoo Child live in Maui 1970 video (check 3:20 and 3:35) ?
The signal chains seems: Guitar > Spiral Cable > P10 cable extension > Wah > Uni-Vibe > Fuzz Face > Amps
All the best Mr Sevigny
That was his setup. When he used an Octavia, it would come after the Fuzz Face.
I really think Roger Mayer was either putting buffers in some of the Wahs or Fuzzes, or he was changing the input impedance, as I’ve been told that can help with the Wah problem.
@@CorbCorbin Here my setup is: Guitar > Fuzz Face Nkt 275 > Fulltone Ultimate Octave > Colorsound 70's (Exactly the same Clyde McCoy's circuit) > Uni-vibe clone like Nik's signal chain. But i have a modified clyde wah replica with buffer, so I can change the order like Hendrix too. Lots of cool tones experimenting with the signal chain :)
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
Rafael Rechia
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.
Cool we’re finally getting a proper Maui release, though I’ve had numerous bootlegs. I love the versions of Hey Baby and Villanova Junction from those recordings.
I’m sure they’ll do the same with the Royal Albert Hall show that was filmed and recorded, but has been in limbo for years. Love the version of Roomful of Mirrors on that one.
From 20:15 peeps... mind blown!!! Dang nailed it.
That child was foul
jimi was definitely not from this planet, great video man!
Thanks cuhhh!
Monster Guitar playing here
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man wtf its not like a chosen pedalboard but its like a chosen prophet of Hendrix if Jimi was god 🔥
Very cool, as usual. Love your vids. Thanks so much for your time and knowledge. On a different note,... Would you mind sharing with me how you removed the top layer of the respray without damaging the original paint??
On what?
@@theriffwniksevigny5473 I thought you had done this previously, I was thinking the guitar was a 50's maybe... With a bad overspray, and I thought you "carefully" removed it... But I could be wrong.
First timer to your channel. Enjoyed this video but when mentioning the univibe, I think you should have pointed out the optical analog variety (like your vintage pedal) and the digital counterparts.
Why is that?
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?
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!

@@theriffwniksevigny5473 ye man pretty sure I've seen this aswell. My point still stands!
jayden wiggins im not disputing it my man. There is many ways to skin a cat!! I just like what the wah does with silicon , placed after fuzz. Just my
Preference. Its fun either way. Thanks for checking the video out and the feedback, i do appreciate it!
@@theriffwniksevigny5473 for sure man no sweat, can't argue with your results. Sounds killer 😎
I agree with the "output buffer wah before fuzz" route but it's completely up to taste, different flavours, I also think Jimi was always experimenting so he probably went back and forth! You're so lucky to have such friends Nik! Thanks for the content man
Please send my apologies to Zapata. There was a Unique Vibe on Reverb last year that was just about to be boxed up and sent to him on tour. Guy selling it was local to me and I ended up getting it in a cash parking lot deal. Felt bad but happy to see he got one in the end!
