Thank you for the tips. I though my vibe was damaged because I have to use it at 9/10 of volume. That gives me a relief. I also found that 6.5 is a sweetspot for some songs with a lot of gain and punch, so the vibe waves dont interfere and cancel the guitar sound. Its great to know that you find it correct. I use mostly speed at 2, so I would try the 7. Thank you,
Cool video, thanks! In my mind Jimi used the vibrato mode (at quite fast speed) in the studio on the songs: Pali Gap, Hey Baby, Dolly Dagger... while live he only used the chorus mode. But you mentioned that he used as well the vibrato mode live. What would be those examples?
Thanks Manlay for your positive feedback and your interesting input 🙏 In the Isle of Whight clip I’ve shared in this video one can clearly hear how Jimi switched from Chorus to Vibe and then back. You are right there’s hardly something recorded live that clearly sounds like Vibe mode, but I wondered why Jimi intentionally switched back and forth between the modes in that scene. I mean if he always played Chorus, why even touch the switch? To me the Hey Baby/Midnight Lightning clip of the Maui recording is hard to say if it’s not vibe in fact ☮️✌️
@@MikelBluni Thanks for the reply. By the way, since some time ago I observed that there's a possiblility (that I couldn't confirm by pictures), that in the late part of 1970 maybe sometimes he pluged the guitar first into the Univibe instead of the wahwah. It's hard to say how it was exactly connected but this small snippet of the Wight shows that the guitar cable is not going directly into the wah but also neither directly into the Univibe, looks like maybe it's plugged to a female jack that may bifurcate the signal... maybe one side to the univibe and the other side to the rest of the pedals and then to two different Marshalls? It would be nice to investigate that. Clearly on Wight the sound is not so phasey and woshy-woshy as on Maui or Woodstock.
@@ManlaySound Very interesting!!! I’ve heard many people say that he went UV first at the first Fillmore BOG show. I mean in the end Jimi was a state of the art gearhead for his time, so he experimented just like we guys do 😊 I’ll keep the cable routing you mentioned in mind. There is also something like a distributor unit used on the amp directly (I think at Maui). Still not sure if that was just the regular daisy chaining or something else. I’ll come back to that topic once I find factual info 👍🎸🔥☮️
what's the settings- its about 100 bpm ....intensity titrated to taste. That pretty much covers 90% of his mid tempo rock tracks. This isn't a complicated machine here
I have Fillmore East Funky Vibe and your video is very helpful. Could you post a video where you explain the ways Jimi use the wah? I don't know if if you've already posted it. Thank you so much
Your videos are amazing. But i saw your volume on 10. And that possibly may be a mistake. Let me explain. I tested a real pristine univibe and like the schematics the original is way under unity gain. In fact there is a drop of volume of about 30%. I compared it to my midnight vibe that does unity volume. The equivalent was 10 on the original vs 7 on volume on my univibe...This changes the whole behavior with whats before and after. If your vibe does unity gain or above unity gain then the results could be off. Unless Jimi's Vibe was tweaked... wich is possible... But originals have a huge drop in volume
That vibe sounds absolutely legit. Vibe is annoying. It’s on par with rotating speaker as coolest sounding modulation, but for me it’s so limiting. All I play with vibe is poor renditions of hendrix songs. Not very creative. Worst possible vibe is the big box Roger Mayer Voodoo Vibe. I have spent days on end tweking it to sound like BOG hendrix. If oppoturnity arises, i might buy original for the bragging rights, but at the moment i dont own any vibe and i intent to keep it that way just to focus on creating something on my own. I wonder if anyone feels the same?
Discovered your channel through the Axis Fuzz and am coming back for more high quality info and great playing. Thanks for the stuff you do, hope you continue to release many more stuff. Subscribed.
I have the Sabbidius Fillmore East pedal and it sounds a little too fast at 7 compared to your pedal. If i back it off to 5.5 or 6 it sounds closer yours. Thanks for all these in depth videos for us Hendrix freaks!
Thanks for sharing 🙏 Actually, Nico of Sabbadius is very clever. Some of Jimi‘s units were probably modded and I assume that the LFO/waveform has been adapted. That’s why you have a difference in speed 👍
I actually investigated JH pedals & sounds because ppl wanted me to play JH. I talk to music industry ppl and they told me to get exactly the right Hendrix tone , would cost me above $10Gs. Because the pedals I need aren’t around anymore and this was about a decade ago. And Jimi also made his own couple pedals or call it upgraded them , which means - what electronic stuff he use to create whatever pedals he was making to his liking. Music industry is only making hypothetical maybe it’s this sound pedals . Like you said: hope you get closer … we all may never know what true settings are but trying to figuring it out is a blast 🎸+ Hendrix music never fades out ..
Thanks for sharing your experience ✌️🎸 It all is a journey…it’s not about trying to be the next Jimi Hendrix our copy him 1:1. Is about doing what we love and enjoying ourselves on the path 🎸 Jimi’s inspiration could strike in a 5$ pedal 😀✌️☮️
I'm also a researcher of Jimi's sound like you, and my conclusions are good, but your videos are excellent to help me improve Jimi's sound, for example lately I bought a MXR M68 Uni-Vibe and it's a complicated pedal , in the end the setting that seems right to me on this pedal for the sound of Jimi and Speed at 10 o'clock and the Depth at 9 and a half o'clock, the VIBRATO speed at 12 and a half Depth at 12 and a half, but I'm still not satisfied, given If you have one, can you give me the right Jimi setting for this pedal?
Thanks for your support and constant feedback. Actually, I had both, the MXR-68 and Dunlop Hendrix UniVibe. Both really great units, technically identical. If I remember correctly my setting for the chorus mode was: Speed 11 o‘ clock, Level 2, Depth 2. Good Luck 👍
@@MikelBluni I use an overdrive pedal and a Fuzz on a clean amp, the Depth of the mxr m68 set at 2 o'clock creates so to speak a strong or intense sense of "scratch or rub" that covers the overall sound, even if I decrease and always too invasive
Thank you! Just got a vibe and experimenting. I'm arriving at similar conclusions. Though I wonder, was Jimi's vibe volume on 10 boosting or approaching unity gain?
Thanks for your question. I’ve recently played a vintage UV and I had to put it in 10 but it still had a slight volume drop :-/ However, soundwise 10 on the vintage unit had an almost similar boosting effect as 10 on the Sabbadius ✌️🎸
Another consideration with the vibes compared, this original univibe had a totaly diferent equalization, with more enphasy on the higher register, more highs, more watery. The midnight vibe more emphasy on the high mids. Just slightly diferent. That made huge diference in playing and tone again. The tests were made in a 67 super reverb, a JCM 800 with vintage speakers and a 67 Marshall super bass with original cab and speakers G12H 55hz.
That E Chord at the Isle of Wight was actually my reference tone when looking for thd right vibe pedal. I asked Sabbadius which pedal would give me that sound and they said the '68, so I got the '68 Tiny Vibe. Perfect.
Hey Mikel...that is so amazing how you reconstruct play and feel the original style sound and message of Jimi! One can learn so much from your experience! Thank you so much! If I could have one wish..I would wish that you Play Jimis Song "Hey Baby" from Jimi playes Berkeley. Its a quiet unknown song I think, but to me its one of his best in expression, emotionality, and the whole really magic atmosphere in the song. Unfortunately no one is playing it and there is no lesson in the web. Maybe one day you could play and show us this great song here?? Best wishes.... thank you and P E A C E !
Thank you so much for your positive message 🙏 It‘s great that you find inspiration in my videos. I appreciate that very much 😊 Hey Baby is an outstanding song and I’ve played it live many times. Currently, I’m working on more content that goes beyond lessons, but who knows, maybe in the future I’ll get back to lessons. Thanks for the inspiration Someone ✌️🎸☮️🔥
Thank you 🙏 I have found a statement by Roger Mayer in some interview where he says it only needed some minor tweaks and these things sounded good. He didn’t mention what the mod was, but I could imagine it had to do with the LFO/waveform. Changing the speed/speed calibration and/or pulse. That’s why Roger‘s own creation has the option to change the waveform and why you find Sabbadius vibes in different executions 🎸🔥
MikelbB, The Switch mode Hendrix used was stuck in the middle to get chorus+vibe at the same time, try doing this. Try looking into how SRV stevie Ray vaughan used his Univibe to make a vid lesson about it because I think he turned the intensity close to 1 and used an extra slow speed.
Thanks a lot✌️I’ve done very intensive picture research and so far haven’t come across this middle-positioning. But I’m always eager to learn. Will research on this, too 🎸
@@MikelBluni Ya most new modern Vibe pedals mode switch won't let you get that inbetween position. You have to find a vibe pedal that has a switch that will let you get in the middle.

Hi, I’m new to the Uni-Vibe like pedals. I’m currently looking at the EHX Good Vibes pedal. Is it a viable option for tones like Message to Love and Gypsy Woman/Aware of Love both at played Woodstock?
Thanks for reaching out. Generally EHX pedals are great, haven’t played the Good Vibes but would recommend beginners the MXR 68 as you can get lots o Jimi tones with it. Further its budget friendly for a first tryout ✌️🎸☮️🔥
@@MikelBluni I don’t have the MXR Uni-Vibe but I do have a Nux MG-100 Modeling Guitar Processor which do have a rough replication of the MXR.

Hi, can I ask you, how is it possible in this video at minute 1:18 Jimi activates his univibe, but from the video it seems it's not him who activates it, how is it possible? th-cam.com/video/qFfnlYbFEiE/w-d-xo.html
Wow 😮 You really listened very closely to that. Indeed we hear a change of tone 🎸 Here’s are my assumptions: a) I don’t think that anyone besides Jimi kicked in the UV - we can clearly see that the two camera people on stage at not near the UV; b) the wind caused big problems to the recording. Maybe it was also the reason for the sound to change, as Kramer had to work heavy on it in post production to make it listenable. Maybe filtering out windy noise and adding eq, because the foam around the mics made the recording sound dull, caused what we hear and perceive as the swooshing sound; c) Maybe Kramer added UV intentionally in the post production. I’ve heard that Kramer worked with re-amping after Jimi’s Death, playing his original takes through cabs an re-record - don’t nail me to that info - it’s something Noel Redding told me once 🎸🔥
@@MikelBluni Well, this is where Eddie Kramer comes into play, interestingly, then another thing I saw and it seems that the Jack cable of Jimi's guitar is not connected to the Wah but to a device near the univibe which I don't understand what it is, furthermore I saw that the fuzz is not directly connected to the wah, the wah cables go in a completely different direction, practically the wah seems disconnected, or maybe it's just my impression, but in any case Jimi's effects chain is very strange
@@MikelBluni I went to listen to an old CD of mine from '93 and it was the same as the recent recordings, do you think Kramer had already intervened in '93?
@@Savior.Mountgreen Eddie Kramer has been involved from day one on after Jimi’s death in quite a bunch of posthumously released albums! Maybe he’s been off in between to return with 1997s First Rays… I’m sure he did the mix for the live recordings of the Maui gig in 1970. It had to be mixed and mastered to make it some kind of listenable for the movie. So yes - I could imagine he experimented with adding stuff and re-recording right after Jimi’s death.
@@leonardo.rafael Just watch Jimi at Woodstock it’s 80% bridge PU. At that time the Strat had a 3-way switch only, 5-way was still not existent/used. You could turn into the middle position with a bit of “feeling”, but Jimi didn’t do so. He went from neck to bridge in one firm swing 🎸🔥
@@MikelBluni thank you so much. I saw an interview of PRS explaining how he used his guitar volume in 10 for his cover of Machine Gun and I cant imagine that to be “correct”. When I play it I have to start around 8.5 to preserve bite and clarity in the strokes. Univibe subleties sound better at that point. I only go to 10 in the more “solo” dramatic segments for the fuzz acting in its full.
@@leonardo.rafael It depends on many factors. Jimi had his UV preamp and probably Fuzz on during that particular intro. So he wasn’t on 10, sure. I don’t know about Paul‘s signal chain. If he went into a cleaner amp without pedals…who knows…it’s speculation. When you follow my videos you’ll clearly see how I set my effects and volumes and I researched meticulously along Jimi‘s material 👍Actually, in this video my guitar volume was on 2 for the Machine Gun Part, further my tone was reduced to 6 to get a warmer BOG tone 😉

Thoughts
I don’t know what PRS has been asked and thus what he is referring to when saying Jimi didn’t use the bridge pickup.
@@MikelBlunihave you seen Jimi’s pics or videos using his bridge pickup or it may be the second position to blend bridge and middle ?
@@leonardo.rafael Just watch Jimi at Woodstock it’s 80% bridge PU. At that time the Strat had a 3-way switch only, 5-way was still not existent/used. You could turn into the middle position with a bit of “feeling”, but Jimi didn’t do so. He went from neck to bridge in one firm swing 🎸🔥
@@MikelBluni thank you so much. I saw an interview of PRS explaining how he used his guitar volume in 10 for his cover of Machine Gun and I cant imagine that to be “correct”. When I play it I have to start around 8.5 to preserve bite and clarity in the strokes. Univibe subleties sound better at that point. I only go to 10 in the more “solo” dramatic segments for the fuzz acting in its full.
@@leonardo.rafael It depends on many factors. Jimi had his UV preamp and probably Fuzz on during that particular intro. So he wasn’t on 10, sure. I don’t know about Paul‘s signal chain. If he went into a cleaner amp without pedals…who knows…it’s speculation. When you follow my videos you’ll clearly see how I set my effects and volumes and I researched meticulously along Jimi‘s material 👍Actually, in this video my guitar volume was on 2 for the Machine Gun Part, further my tone was reduced to 6 to get a warmer BOG tone 😉
