James Santiago is one of the most knowledgeable guitarists I have ever met.
I would actually describe James as a tone scientist.
He seems to know exactly how most of our favorite guitar records were made...
But he has put in the work! He has spent his whole life researching and studying.
In this new UA-cam video James gives us a detailed breakdown on the solo tone for "The Wind Cries Mary"..
As the project manager and sound designer for the Universal Audio OX Amp Top Box, he was able to incorporate many of the room, reverb, microphone and cabinet choices of the classic records..

I’m so glad someone like James Santiago is out there, designing cool stuff
Yeah baby, it's James Santiago!!! I always loved his playing on the Voodoo Lab demos! So excited to see him here. OK, back to the video cos I only got 16 seconds in before I had to comment!
I think I've watched this video twenty times. Finally bought an OX this week. Please don't forget to get James back to discuss Axis Bold As Love. One of my all time favorite tracks. Stay safe
I could listen to these guys talking about every Hendrix recording
Love “Bold as Love”
Share the whole discution please Tim!! It's not like guitar lesson, that's history and all Jimi fans must know!
We was robbed!
Yes please. What a great BEGINNING… 😉
So cool, my favorite Hendrix song! Thanks Tim, for having the gumption to ask the right questions and better yet share the responses with the world. It took me back to the first time I ever heard The Wind Cries Mary. I'm once again a mindblown 11 y/o kid. Thanks! "Aw shucks, if my Daddy could see me now."
I want to know more - that was excellent - and when James says i'd talk about that for hours .... i'm listening ! -Congrat Tim for having him on your show !
This is awesome Tim. This guy really knows stuff. More please.
More James…more James….more James
Solo on the vocal mic? One of the coolest Hendrix things I've ever heard. Totally badass
So great ! Love these explanations of historic moments.
Tim, you’re doing what you love and because of your excelling at your craft, you get these experiences. You are one of the luckiest guys ever. Thank you for sharing your karma with us.
Well this guy is a fucking legend… knowledge for days
Thanks so much for the constant flow of great guests. It’s truly a pleasure to listen to you guys chat!
Tim and James, what a treat to hear this. Best rock UA-cam video of the year.
Awesome video! I love James Santiago! I'm a huge fan of his as much as of Tim's! Great to see you both playing together! Thanks for sharing it!
This is so great! I love James Santiago’s work. I still watch and rewatch the Voodoo Labs pedal videos he’s done. I wish to see more of him. Thank you for sharing, Tim!
It's great that enthusiasts like James Santiago exist. Thanks to you both for the insights. It places guitar sounds in a new perspective. Makes you think again about software presets and hardware 'formula' that purport to be the key to a specific sound. Wonderful stuff.
VC! Very Cool! It's like being there with Jimi and Eddie while they were doing it!
One of the coolest UA-cams I've seen. for several reasons. Thx for sharing
Great video Tim and the also awesome Mr Santiago ! the Ox is fantastic !
I love this video! Anything Hendrix will always get me! Amazing guitar tones. I have to try this unit!
Wow!!! So enjoyable! Have been a fan of James for Years now!! Great as always Tim🙌🏼👍🏼👏🏼
This is a GREAT video. I have wondered about this specific thing for years.
Please Tim, more of that.......its great, Thank you!!
Wow. This is amazing. Great stuff, guys!
Wow! Fantastic stuff. What an education. Please post the rest of this!
James Santiago such a wonderful guitarist cool as a cucumber!! Wish he had a much greater presence on youtube would love to see him talk more at length about Eric Johnson and his tones I never get tired of listening to the wealth of knowledge from world class players such as yourselves! Cheers
You guys have to be best ever when it comes to tone and sound. Great stuff guys.
Keep going guys. It´s so interesting! Thanks for sharing this.
Most interesting piece of guitar music history I've seen. Love it! and want more.
As an engineer & gtr player I've spent years trying to track down what was happening during the Axis tracks. Little Wing & Bold as Love in particular. Amps, Mics, Rm, Comps/Limiters (I'm sure Fairchilds were used) string gauge (heard 7 & 8s), picks, even guitars. I've heard that he used Mustang's to record on occasion. I assume, the masters are stored at Electric Lady? Please, break down Bold or Little Wing or both..
I saw him/them play just after Are You Experienced released at a place called the Carousel in Natick Mass. A giant tent that sat aprox 2000. I was no more than 20' away from Jimi the entire evening. But was too star struck to really pay attention to the little things. Though he did appear to play with a very light touch. That night he ran through two stacks, but I doubt they were both live. One appeared to be used exclusively to ram his Shy Blue Mustang into, having changing out of his white Strat just before Wild Thing.
That was 50 years ago.. a half century. And I'm still looking to out together a complete mental picture of what was going on at the Olympic sessions..
Ex.. I've heard early takes of Bold as Love on one of Eddie's videos, and the gtr sounded like fuzzed out crap.. How did it get from that to the amazing tone we hear on the album in one or two more takes?
Thx for everything.
I have been waiting many years for this missing link. thank you
Fascination video! Pretty amazing stuff.
thanks,so great that you give honest details,so many people will comment it's all in the hands when talking about tone,but I loved it when you did dry vs. wet it was night and day ,
I have been messing around with this song a lot lately and there were some things as far as effects and the overall sound that were a mystery. This was a very informative video. Thanks!
That was super informative, well done!
Wow! Really nailed the tone and feel.
Oh and that's amazing info about how Kramer tracked The Experience and Jimi man! That little nugget is almost priceless. I mean how else would they have done it but still.....awesome to hear that. I could listen to that stuff for days. Thanks for the video.
Excellent Tim. James certainly Knows his Tones.
The audio is always great in Tim's video.
This is beautiful information thanks so much!! James's strat is completely awesome that red spot on it actually looks so much like a little hendrix logo 😂 ❤
THAT...is...soooo...cool. Thank you!
So awesome! Thank you so much!!!!
Absolutely fascinating stuff.
Cool history and a knowledgeable guy 😃
Fantastic!
So joyful 🎉
Great convo
Made a LOT of sense to me, Tim. I vaguely remember a drum set having been set up in a small, long concrete echo chamber in the back of a studio for a single drum fill, once...creating a "room slapback" on a session I did , instead of using the tape machine. I never thought of the Hendrix sound being done that way.
The drums on Led Zepplin's "Four Sticks" were recorded in the stairway in a church because of the natural echo..
Wow that's some deep stuff!
Enlightening!
Great video
MORE!!!!!!! I must know more!!!!
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a gem , just as I've come into another Hendrix faze for the first time in a few years (forgive me )
James Santiago, a tonal beast! Hopefully you’ll do more work together!
It's cool to hear that Hendrix did the solo on the vocal track. You would have to do what you could with just 4 tracks. I think I've done that many times back in the day when I recorded on a small Tascam 4 track and didn't want to bounce the tracks.
Where do I sign up for 2 days of Axis: Bold as Love listening? Great as always.
I am learning this song and was dialing in a patch on my Boss GT-1, I definitely heard the reverb sound either from the room or whatever else they may have done. It's a tough tone to get perfect.
Thanks for sharing. That was very interesting
A big part of that Hendrix tone is the fact he used a Strat flipped upside down so the bridge pickup would angle away from the high strings
Very nice guys...good one James!! BTW.....FARK, I just traded my early 70's Marshall JCM 800 Master Volume head and early 70's Marshall 1960 4X12 slant cab with Celestial 30W black backs......for a '61 Re-Issue Custom Shop Vibroverb with the Cesar Diaz mods. I think....had I known about this US OX.....I might have bought the Fender and kept my Marshall rig. I did not see using it again....but this OX deal is a game changer. Dang!!
Ahhhhh-MAZING.
I think so much depends on the room ambience, after all most of the reverb settings we are used to selecting are based on the spatial sounds of different sized and shaped rooms!
This gentleman is fantastic!!! JIMI was notorious for humming his solos as well as humming them in reverse as well as mitofs and riffs. Through his ear/brain, JIMI also understood "ROOM ACOUSTICS," and would select an area where he would hear/see the "COLORS" he that imagined. My desire is to know "exactly" what he was using for guitar, f/x, strings (mixed), mic/s, amp/s, cables, etc. during that day he recorded, "THE WIND CRYS MARY."
What he played on he guitar was just part of Jimi's vocabulary.
Great video Tim but at least an hour too short. I'd really love to see more of you talking to James about Jimi's recordings.
keep going! : D
I have an OX Box ... & just so y'all know ... I took a screen shot of that setting ... I am gonna rock this sound HARD!!!!
I can dig it brother
Ultracool intel.... I know it's not about this, but what pickups are in James' Strat?
More! More!! MORE!!!
Master Class! Master Class! Master Class!!!
That's the first guy I've seen since Jimi play that last phrase in the same position Jimi did, anchored on the A string of the 15th fret.
Too cool
Jimmy Page spoke often about the science of mic placement within a room to capture the room effect on his tone. Killer stuff...🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Two Vertuoso Icons...RocknRollFlat5
yeeeaaahh, I think there is an OX in my future. I just wish it could take my Synergy pre direct rather than having to amp it then attenuate. But if that's what it takes.
so no reverb... just room kinda of cranked up... cabinets with ribbon 160, a little bit of u67 gonna try that on my new ox stomp. Which cabinets did he use? V30's?
Good video but just to point out Smoke on the Water was recorded in a hotel closed down for the winter, not a castle. The name of the hotel is in the lyric, we ended up at the Grand Hotel, it was empty cold and bare...
I want to hear EVERYTHING this guy has to say Tim!
MORE. MORE. MORE.
MORE. MORE. MORE.
Interesting. Seems that Hendrix used his guitar not just to play music but to express himself, hence the different style and surprising listeners. Hendrix just does his thing. Admirers and guitar fans want to know what he was doing and want to work out and recreate, analyse what he was doing.
Obviously a great room for recording is better but I’m totally nodding to what he’s saying about room reverb. I used to use hall reverb because i thought it made me sound better without any effort on my part, and now I realized I just need to play with better dynamics and use room verb to get the sound I like best. Usually under 1 second too. Like 0.5 seconds to 0.8 seconds, just wet that to taste and it’s just lovely. Definitely dial in EVERYTHING ELSE first. The verb is always the last thing I add, then fine tune the other stuff one more time after my verb sounds right.
Oh and I definitely recommend squeezing the eq of the verb a bit. I usually cut below 150hz ish (give or take) and high cut at around 2.5khz all the way up to 4khz depending on how much chime I’m looking for. It’s crazy how much I’ve enjoyed learning how to dial a sound in. I didn’t think the details mattered quite as much as they do 😆
The one I like for your solos most is "Tear It All Daown" in Rick Springfield. So there are a lot of people who think Dann Haff is playing this solo.
By all means, please show me your own demonstration in UA-cam.
Man, Jimi's ears were as supernatural as his playing.scary.
What computer program is that
Jimi did lead vocal and guitar solo in one track for studio recording!? Damn...
Excellent video!! How do you thumbs down this? ridiculous lol
Holy cow! Awesome video! I think I peed a little.
Thanks for that. For years we heard Tim on his channel through the same cabinet and mic and he sounded as good as it gets. With the OX, and in every demo i heard so far, it sounded very thin and digital. Not like a speaker at all.
Can someone please explain it a little better to me? The limiter was pushing the signal of the mic on the amp, right? Almost cracking it? Did the vocal mic had something to do with the sound?
Trying: The limiter is pushing down the level when the guitar is playing. Between the notes the limiter will recover, and thereby the level will rise - and the room sound/reverb will too. It will give a fuller sound.
We want more! We want more! We want more! We want more!
Master Class! Master Class! Master Class!!! Or do you believe another pedal is a better investment? You'll get more from the class :-)
I meant more of James’ stories about Hendrix and others recordings.
As did I. There is generally expanded video content in the master class
Like that painter dude always said, some things are "a happy accident."
Half way through I ordered my OX...
Wait, the headstock on those strats are all wrong and I don't see any birds.
UA Top Box isn't cheap by any means.
don’t be clowns. set all the dials you like.
music nerds.
Doesn't sound like the original way too much dirt.
I love you guys, but do not like that ipad sound. Ughh..
Yeah they can play👌✨
