I went to the jimi hendrix museum and over the years I've met jimi hendrix friends and ask them questions as a fan. Jimi at the recording studio would get the sounds of different guitars and a sound of a didgeridoo. these sounds would be combined and put into the uni vibe and this sound was done for voodoo child song.
If you want to sound just like Hendrix you’re going to need to record it all the same ways he did. People are so quick to hate. Obviously its not perfectly like Hendrix but they nail a good tone for us to use live.

It depends on which Dunlop you are talking about. The red germanium Fuzz Face has a different design compared to an original one, the Jimi Hendrix (blue-ish one) is a real fuzz face with just a couple small mods to tame excessive noise. The BOG Fuzz Face is based on an Axis Fuzz by Roger Mayer and it is NOT a fuzz face circuit, even though Hendrix used that pedal too. The Fulltone 69 is a gernanium Fuzz Face with just a few tweaks (bias and input gain knobs - put input gain at max and bias to taste towards the middle and you have a normal fuzz face). Even if Jimi switched to silicon soon, the germanium helps getting the sound of "are you experienced?" record. There is only one big question mark here for me: Why putting the SL drive at the input of the Fuzz?
Frank Cassinelli My thinking about the SL Drive being put in the signal chain....since the description says that the amp is set to a clean tone on 8, meaning the amp is dirty. A fuzz face, to make it sound good, needs to go through a dirty amp, not a clean one. So they used the SL drive to drive the fuzz instead of turning up the gain on the amp. At least I think that’s why
I think reverb was going for accessible affordable pedals, vs accuracies. They came close, so that’s cool. I’d argue, however, that Hendrix used he fuzz face for cleans and rhythm tones. He backed off the volume to unload the pickups, I feel like that’s an easy one and good technique to demo.
I just realized a big part of the Hendrix sound is probably the upside down strung guitar. Because of the bridge pickup's angle it could produce a unique sound
When trying to get Hendrix tone me too was tempted to think I need more fuzz. But all you really need is a cranked up marshall, a wah and something to boost, doesn´t necessarily need to be a fuzz face. The marshall does the magic, beside the stratocaster. I also believe people are mislead when trying to copy especially the overdriven tones of his first recordings, cause to me it sounds like the engineers couldn´t cope with the sheer volume Hendrix insisted to need to get his desired sound. To me the overdriven guitar on the Experienced LP sounds simply badly recorded engineerwise, while clean sounds like Hey Joe are just fine. This changed a lot on the Axis LP, where the overdriven tones are much nicer to the ear. If 6 was 9 has heavily overdriven guitar, that sounds great. But listening to Foxy it sounds just as if the microphones were clipping on top of the fuzzed guitar, with just bad results. Just my thoughts.
I don't totally agree with your statement even though I understand what you're thinking I disagree that they would have engineering so lazy with Eddie kramer and big huge profile names that admired Jimi and so many people wanting to help him because he was so great a total game changer a blues Mastermind virtuoso who could put feedback in pitch and rhythm and make it a whole album even the black panthers thought he was half Indian half African after they heard machine gun .. even Al his father used a fender 59 bassman for his lead harmonica solos at home Said come in my kitchen and they distorted only past 8.. real topic is most people don't know that Marshall jtm bluesbreaker circuits and sound was based off of a 59 bassman they sound almost identical... Just make it a little hotter and put a darker speaker in and acknowledge in confusion and marvel in discovery that Marshall has stollen their signature sound from another company most that love Marshall put fender down and hate the sound of the amps but don't realize how stupid and closed minded they are because no bassman no Plexi or bluesbreaker or jcm 800.. I used to love Marshall growing up even had a jcm dsl 100 when I was 18 playing all over in bands.. huge Hendrix fan Slash fan Mike McCready &John frusciante then I see Petebtownshend using fender combos at albert Hall with quite possibly the best tone I've ever heard in my life I'm 20 ... I realize the sonic landscape in the two leaders in world class amps circuitry is strikingly similar but one is now far more superior all the sudden bassman the original Plexi and hardly nobody knows or in complete denial lol that's too clean ewww haha

it's interesting how subjective Hendrix's tone is. You guys did a good job, but I think his tone was a bit less fizzy for the most part, and actually a lot cleaner. everyone seems to focus on the really wild part of Hendrix's sound, but really the magic was how he could go from sweet and glassy to greasy and then hit whacked out spaceman over the course of a single song, just with a tweak of the volume knob, and a flip of the selector switch. that 69 pedal seemed to take that ability away, where a fuzz face, or even a tube screamer would have retained it. just my opinion.
+Joshua Fraser Very accurate comment, Joshua. Hendrix's tone is often misheard through the filter of modern (high gain) ears. Like Jimmy Page, it's a surprisingly clean(ish) tone that sounds huge due to dynamics and attitude, and (towards the latter part of Hendrix's career) a pronounced low end rhythm section underneath a dense array of overdubbed guitar parts. And, yes, a buzzy or fizzy distorted tone misses the mark: a (well controlled) fuzz face into a driven tube amp provides a crunchy but clear tone for that early 'Are You Experienced?' era vibe.
+Bubblez Beano - We always try to a/b against the recordings rather than live performance for this series - and we too were surprised at how much we were actually turning DOWN the gains or rolling off volume to try to get in the ballpark. Many people think of Hendrix live, being pretty darn loud, proud, and out there. But yes, his studio recordings definitely have a lot of subtlety and variation. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yes, I find it's a persistent misconception regarding the Hendrix 'sound'. It wasn't just his up-tempo rhythm technique that was rooted in the R&B style of the day, but his basic tone as well. 'Can You See Me', 'Stone Free', '51st Anniversary', 'Remember', etc. may be the most obvious examples, but that sound stretches right through his career - through 'Wait Until Tomorrow', 'You Got Me Floating', '(Have You Ever Been To) Electric Ladyland', 'Crosstown Traffic', 'House Burning Down', the Band of Gypsys material, 'Freedom', 'Drifting', etc. It's a consistent feature of his tone. It's utterly ironic that the guitar effects industry, which effectively came into existence in order to allow mere mortals to 'sound like Hendrix', rests upon an artist whose basic tonal palette is nearly the antithesis of the high gain effects-drenched attitude of the modern player. But, of course, Hendrix as R&B raver just isn't as lucrative as the whammy-bashing, fire-lighting, wah-wielding, Afro-stylin' hippie pimp that continues to sell records (and, indeed, pedals). ;)
To those wondering why not just use a Fuzz Face, yes Jimi used a germanium Fuzz Face most of his career, but the big issue with germanium transistors is that variation in temperature affects the bias point of the circuit, which can completely change the sound. The way the Fuzz Face is designed, not only does it do absolutely nothing to prevent this problem, but it has no way to compensate for it when the issue inevitably arises, and it only takes a few degrees to noticably change the sound. One thing that Roger Mayer, Jimi's personal tech guru, did was modify his Fuzz Faces to have an internally variable bias, which is the best way to compensate for this, as that is the main parameter affected. Several companies, including Analogman and Fulltone do the same thing now because it makes the pedals far easier to work with and get the desired tone from rather than fight the pedal or hope that the temperature is just right. I understand that from a purist perspective, the original equipment seems like it should be the best option, and I understand that the Fuzz Face is a bit cheaper and looks way cooler, but sometimes your best option is to get something based on the original, but slightly modified, or learn how to modify them yourself. Similarly, with equipment like Jimi's wah, it's been modified several times by Roger Mayer, with some variations lasting barely a week before being modified again. I bet there are albums with at least two or three variations of the same wah, and therefore, I wouldn't expect a single wah to get all of his tones (except probably one fitted with a kit that Roger Mayer sells that has variable parameters, although I haven't personally heard one to be able to recommend it). That combined with Roger stating that at no point where the modifications just one or two magic components different to the standard wah likely rules out the possibility of the Dunlop wah being an authentic reproduction of Jimi's, as the only differences to the standard wah are a capacitor and resistor value. Finally, and I really don't mean to keep knocking Dunlop, as I do like some of their stuff, as far as I know, absolutely none of their Jimi products are copied from equipment that Jimi actually used, with the closest to being so was the Octavia (wrongly labelled "Octavio") that was based on an example almost certainly not owned by Jimi and a different circuit from any that he used on record or live, as stated by Roger Mayer. However, I think in that particular case it's likely close enough that you can get convincing tones out of it anyway. Most of the others are either designed by ear, but somewhat based in reality, (the Band of Gypsies fuzz, for instance) or are slightly tweaked versions of existing pedals with no basis in the originally modified equipment just to get a product out. This ended up being much longer than I intended, but I wanted to set the record straight on some of this stuff, because I keep seeing things suggesting that the only authentic way to cop Jimi's sound is to get the Dunlop Jimi pedals, because they are the only ones designed to work together to this end. That is simply not true. I would dare to say that they are designed to cash in on Jimi's name. No more, no less. I really hope this comment helps somebody looking for what to look for and what to look out for when it comes to some of the signature equipment out there. Some of it makes total sense, as it's either made to imitate modified equipment or variations of it, or is made with tweakability and ease of use in mind, but some of it exists just to make a quick buck, especially if the artist has been dead for decades.
Hit or miss, but the "who knows" was close! I applaud you for even trying! So many people'll criticize because they don't like their own playing. Good job anyways
Effects Junkie Dude to be fair it really isn't even close most of the time. Like in purple haze he uses an octave fuzz but they don't even use that here.
Agreed sometimes they use pedals that are on the opposite side of the spectrum like a boutique fuzz for a song with no fuzz in it. Sometimes the nail it though, I think the synth series is a lot closer
As a Hendrix fanatic, this doesn't sound to me like Handrix at all. Although i love Reverb chanel, nothing beats a germanium fuzz face with a slp marshall 100 w. That's a good starting point for Hendrix sound
+stipeur Our goal was to use modern pedals to achieve these vintage tones. The SL Drive is meant to replicate the Marshall Super Lead, so we use that as a sort of base, and then stack the other pedals after. The 69MKII is a germanium fuzz face clone with some added functionality.
+stipeur Really you want a silicon fuzz. From '69-70 Hendrix used a silicon fuzzface and was a better man because of it. His sound from Woodstock on was his best. Silicon fuzz, Octavia, wah wah and of course the almighty univibe. Once he added the univibe to his palette, he was unstoppable from a tone standpoint.
universalmanchild he was dead 13 months later, had already recorded , his first three albums, which were arguably his best, (they were) studio wise , are you experienced, axis ,electric lady land , but whatever kiddo
Not bad but I think these pedals will get you much closer: Fulltone Clyde Deluxe Wah (set to Jimi setting) Fulltone Custom Shop MDV-3 Mini DejáVibe Mojo Gear Mojo Fuzz Deluxe NKT275 Fuzz Then there's an interesting fact about the Roger Mayer Octavia used by Jimi. It was not a silicon transistor based Octavia, it's an early prototype of Octavia with germanium OC140 transistors. This prototype was later scrapped by Roger Mayer, and the final iteration of the Octavia used silicon transistors. However, Jimi never used the silicon transistor Octavia on his albums. His Octavia was one of the early OC140 prototype. Reuss Octaviaze is a clone of those early prototypes. The only difference between the Reuss Octaviaze and the early Roger Mayer germanium Octavia prototypes is that the prototypes used a triplet of OC140 transistors while the Reuss Octaviaze in its standard configuration has a pair of OC140 and one BC558. So if you order it, remember to specify that you want full OC140 upgrade. When specified to do so they even get rid of the one BC558 transistor and make the pedal run completely on a triplet of germanium OC140 transistors just like the original Roger Mayer prototypes. As for the amp, no pedal can replace a real amp. Jimi used to use a JTM45/100. If money ain't a concern, then get yourself a Ceriatone JTM45/100 clone. However if you insist on using pedals then the JHS Charlie Brown Channel Drive is a way better choice than the Xotic SL Drive.
a few neg. comments...Hendrix sounds are being captured here....no one is Hendrix but this is a fine player sounding like Hendrix and these pedals are awesome. Thanks!
Thank you for posting this reverb, this is a fun post. Chasing jimi's tone is a long and frustratingly large laybrinth of rabbit holes but I will share what i have learned about two different tracks that are my absolute favorites in the order of when they were recorded. First, like a rolling stone live, recorded at the Monterey pop festival. In this recordings jimi used a marshal major amp but the amp had a defective bias "factory defect" and was overpowering the 6550 tubes which were red plating so his amp tech switched in some kt88 tubes. since it was a factory flaw in the bias system and Marshall would not release this information for fear of intellectual property rights the amp was not "fixed" but jimi's tech installed the more powerful kt88 tubes that would last a few hours, jimi told his tech the amp sounded great, just put new tubes in after every gig. I'm pretty sure if you listen to that track you won't hear any effects other than jimi's signature fuzz pedal cutting in and out, a freaking tone monster was born. Ok on to the second track that I just love, just so you know I have many hendrix tracks that have a very special place in my music but none of those tracks are available to those who had jackasses visiting and they were destroyed at a party, they are non-ubtainum ha ha no joke. So that leaves the venerable and most bad ass lead ever played by any guitarist to date, machine gun, jimi had a contract with capitol records and he owed them one album or breach of contract would filed, here is the crazy part and it all came about this way, jimi was being pressured by his own community through the friends he had which were the black panthers " they were the street fighters" in the interviews after his death. Jimi was approached by his own people and asked him why do you keep doing this white music thing? You are a black man make some music that your culture can identify with, jimi did just that and fired the experience band and hired buddy miles and Billy cox, born was the band of gypsy's who recorded that album at Albert Hall live. Some people say there are more than one recording and that the second recording was better but I don't think that is true jimi had a time line and only practiced with his new band for 6 months as far as the record of this shows. So why did I take you down this rabbit hole? Because you will never aproach the sound of this track without two 1959 amps, one hooked up to one head with the univibe and the other head hooked up to a Leslie rotating cab both set to to the timing of the song.
LOL ! that opening riff sounds NOTHING like Jimi tone wise! Filltone 69 slight return is much better. and there are OTHER better germ ANd silicon fuzzes that are better than the fultone - you do the research ...Deep Trip, analog Man, etc etc - your artist tone articles give the appearance you guys have either very limited knowledge Or are in bed financially w some pedal makers. sorry ..
Agreed to an extent, but Jimi played REALLY loud and also you're not considering mic technique and amp. If you used these pedals through a big amp in a band setting you'd get away with it.
Yeah, you're right! It's NOTHING LIKE HENDRIX! But what you don't know is Hendrix's personally modified WAH pedal caused the D# note (and all the others across the fingerboard) to lower a further 1/2 a semi-tone. So, clearly there is ONLY 2 ways to make Hendrix sound. All thanks to jimi personally modding his wah pedal. So, you either find a way to buy jimi's ACTUAL wah pedal OR you buy the authorised pedals and every other authorised product used by jimi.
bobanbu reverb .com sells used mysic gear and you're suprised, the word of the day kid's is approximation, they also show how at different price points you can come close to achieving his sound , it's youtube for christsake
I use the Dunlop Jimi hendrix band of gypsy Fuzz Face it's the same circuit jimi used in Late 1969 until his death in 1970 its incredible and very versatile
Fuzz(face) should go before the Marshall plexi style drive (SL drive). Correct order would be: Wah into Octavio into Fuzzface into Univibe into his wall of Marshall plexi’s

A lot of great comments and opinions here but no one will ever sound like Hendrix. I’ve heard some musicians get close, but never close enough. There are too many variables ie: right handed guitar restrung, various strings used depending upon songs and the modification of pickups. Occasionally, several guitars, amps and pedals used in the studio to create a single song. Equipment which is over 50 years old. How about studio production and Jimi’s playing style. In my opinion not only was Hendrix one of the greatest and most unique guitar player/singers and innovators who ever lived, he will never be duplicated. Some things are just not meant to be!
@@prometheusvenom7189 Dod grunge isn't actually what he used aside from just having it as satire. Big muffs are only good for solos and double tracking in the studio. Krist used proco rat on bass though.
People criticizing this video : "Noooo, you need a 1966 American Standard Strat, a Marshall SV20C, an original fuzz pedal, and being born in Seattle to sound like him !!!"
Tong Zou I think the fulltone is a great fuzz pedal. I have a red Germanium fuzz face and I would buy this for the versatility. The fuzz face is great don’t get me wrong. The sustain is forever and it has a ton of different tones when your adjust the volume of the guitar or the pedal. Most of all it cleans up really well but everything Fulltone makes is great. The Deja Vibe and Clyde Deluxe Wah are two of the best pedals out.

Sounds like they aren't pushing the amp hard enough so it sounds like a Fuzz through a crystal clear amp sounds which is harsh. Took me a long time to figure out that Fuzz's work best into an amp that is just starting to break up to a nice tube crunch and they can sound good in some cases with a cranked tube amp in full on overdrive mode. For me I have to work with the guitar volume and amp volume and then try to find the sweet spot where the fuzz starts melting into the amp overdrive. For years I bought Fuzz pedals only to sell then buy another. Finally figured out what i was missing.
It's clear the demonstrator is a devoted student of the electric guitar. What he's trying to do is use (or overuse?) a variety of derivative analog and digital effects pedals to emulate part of the palette of tones Jimi got by driving mid and late '60s analog gear at full balls-out volume levels. Historic Note: ... In the early and mid '60s, nearly the only way to get that literally "OVEDRIVEN" tone out of your gear (That's why it's still called "Overdrive," Sparky.) was to push it to the limits, something simply not practical in the average residential neighborhood. At times our hero and his pile of little pedals sound "fizzy" but he's somewhere in the ballpark. As I hear it, he'd probably get closer to Jimi's tone if he DIALED DOWN the effects and let his guitar's voice be heard instead of completely overwhelming it (Did I mention "fizzy"?) with every shiny little rich kid toy Reverb has to sell. While Reverb wants to sell pedals here and that's legit enough, the fact remains that Jimi had hot PICKUPS hand-wound for him by a young Seymour Duncan at his disposal. The only pedal that might come close to simulating them is a Very high-resolution EQ or Parametric Equalizer. That assumes one will put in the time and effort to learn to get the most out of it. If you're not willing to develop your skills, you're wasting your money. The truth is there are some things you can't buy... The tools and toys are what we play the music ON... You have to be able to actually DO that. That's what separates the men from the boys... Fools refuse to face that, and that is what separates them from their money.
what kind of pickups in this guitar? Is this a Jimi Hendrix type model, and how much? What is that Fulltone 69, is that a boost or a distortion pedal? what does that Proctavia do?
+Michael Craig Strat is a Hendrix Signature Strat. Fulltone 69 is a fuzz face clone with added functionality. The Proctavia is an Octavia clone (octave fuzz).
+Reverb.com you answered none of the details about the guitar.. what kind of pickups, is it made in America, is it quality or just junk with a name, etc.. details, details..
+Michael Craig The 69 has an input bias knob and a contour knob that shapes the midrange, harmonics and sustain. The octavia is a gated fuzz with an octave filter that can produce anything from a subtle doubling effect to a full octave fizzy growl.
+Reverb.com The pickups in the Hendrix strat are American Vintage 65's. The 2015 models are made in Mexico, but played and sounded great to us. More information and listings on Reverb: goo.gl/cVri0Q
why didn't you do voodoo child?! i mean come on it's the most unmistakable and iconic riff and sound he has and you don't do it? shame on you! but if you do a part 2, do Foxey Lady, Voodoo Child (slight return), Hey Joe and Little Wing
The secret to his sound is him. He sounded like himself. He would sound like himself on a $40 Chinese guitar plugged into a toy radio. All players sound like themselves. That’s all there is to it, no mojo parts or magical transistors,or tubes; just the talented individual guitarist himself.
it lacks the beefcake and sustain which keeps Jimi's guitar sounding aggressive if they do a part 2 hendrix video they should do... Voodoo Child (Slight Return) Foxy Lady Hey Joe Little Wing
Well, the watchtower-intro really nails the sound! But not all your Jimi-Sounds are convincing. In general I think the distorted sounds are much too trebly and too hissy (I play your vid thru KRK-studio monitors).
With a ton of Hendrix reissue pedals available at reasonable price, not using a single one of them (not even the fuzz face!) seems a bit weird, don't you agree?
Robin Trower Crash Course......just set this Distortion Pedals toghether with Univibe like clone,and a Wah Wah.....and them,your Jimi Hendrix Cover Band,can Gig around America.....
I think the purple haze tone needs more low end, and the all along the watchtower solo needs way less gain, the Univibe on Machine Gun is way too high in the mix also that's not the order Hendrix put his Fuzz and Vibe in.
That should be a Vox wah, not a dunlop. The sound is way different. That also should be a germanium fuzz. Jimi only had three pedals: Tuner, Vox wah, and Germanium fuzz
+Ryan Harding Since we're using the SL drive to mimic the base tone of a Marshall Super Lead, we have it first, with the Fulltone 69 (Fuzz Face Clone) after it.
+Ryan Harding - That makes sense, though in this case because it's a pedal and not an actual amp (though we did use a clean Marshall 18w) we thought of it as increasing gain stages, and started with the SL, into the MKII, into the Octavia.

why wouldn't you just use the dunlop fuzz face to get the fuzz tone

Cause Dunlop don´t put money here.

And, yes, a buzzy or fizzy distorted tone misses the mark: a (well controlled) fuzz face into a driven tube amp provides a crunchy but clear tone for that early 'Are You Experienced?' era vibe.
+Bubblez Beano - We always try to a/b against the recordings rather than live performance for this series - and we too were surprised at how much we were actually turning DOWN the gains or rolling off volume to try to get in the ballpark. Many people think of Hendrix live, being pretty darn loud, proud, and out there. But yes, his studio recordings definitely have a lot of subtlety and variation. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yes, I find it's a persistent misconception regarding the Hendrix 'sound'. It wasn't just his up-tempo rhythm technique that was rooted in the R&B style of the day, but his basic tone as well. 'Can You See Me', 'Stone Free', '51st Anniversary', 'Remember', etc. may be the most obvious examples, but that sound stretches right through his career - through 'Wait Until Tomorrow', 'You Got Me Floating', '(Have You Ever Been To) Electric Ladyland', 'Crosstown Traffic', 'House Burning Down', the Band of Gypsys material, 'Freedom', 'Drifting', etc. It's a consistent feature of his tone.
It's utterly ironic that the guitar effects industry, which effectively came into existence in order to allow mere mortals to 'sound like Hendrix', rests upon an artist whose basic tonal palette is nearly the antithesis of the high gain effects-drenched attitude of the modern player. But, of course, Hendrix as R&B raver just isn't as lucrative as the whammy-bashing, fire-lighting, wah-wielding, Afro-stylin' hippie pimp that continues to sell records (and, indeed, pedals). ;)
Long live Jim E. Handrakes
That is some wicked playing man!
To those wondering why not just use a Fuzz Face, yes Jimi used a germanium Fuzz Face most of his career, but the big issue with germanium transistors is that variation in temperature affects the bias point of the circuit, which can completely change the sound. The way the Fuzz Face is designed, not only does it do absolutely nothing to prevent this problem, but it has no way to compensate for it when the issue inevitably arises, and it only takes a few degrees to noticably change the sound.
One thing that Roger Mayer, Jimi's personal tech guru, did was modify his Fuzz Faces to have an internally variable bias, which is the best way to compensate for this, as that is the main parameter affected. Several companies, including Analogman and Fulltone do the same thing now because it makes the pedals far easier to work with and get the desired tone from rather than fight the pedal or hope that the temperature is just right.
I understand that from a purist perspective, the original equipment seems like it should be the best option, and I understand that the Fuzz Face is a bit cheaper and looks way cooler, but sometimes your best option is to get something based on the original, but slightly modified, or learn how to modify them yourself. Similarly, with equipment like Jimi's wah, it's been modified several times by Roger Mayer, with some variations lasting barely a week before being modified again. I bet there are albums with at least two or three variations of the same wah, and therefore, I wouldn't expect a single wah to get all of his tones (except probably one fitted with a kit that Roger Mayer sells that has variable parameters, although I haven't personally heard one to be able to recommend it). That combined with Roger stating that at no point where the modifications just one or two magic components different to the standard wah likely rules out the possibility of the Dunlop wah being an authentic reproduction of Jimi's, as the only differences to the standard wah are a capacitor and resistor value.
Finally, and I really don't mean to keep knocking Dunlop, as I do like some of their stuff, as far as I know, absolutely none of their Jimi products are copied from equipment that Jimi actually used, with the closest to being so was the Octavia (wrongly labelled "Octavio") that was based on an example almost certainly not owned by Jimi and a different circuit from any that he used on record or live, as stated by Roger Mayer. However, I think in that particular case it's likely close enough that you can get convincing tones out of it anyway. Most of the others are either designed by ear, but somewhat based in reality, (the Band of Gypsies fuzz, for instance) or are slightly tweaked versions of existing pedals with no basis in the originally modified equipment just to get a product out.
This ended up being much longer than I intended, but I wanted to set the record straight on some of this stuff, because I keep seeing things suggesting that the only authentic way to cop Jimi's sound is to get the Dunlop Jimi pedals, because they are the only ones designed to work together to this end. That is simply not true. I would dare to say that they are designed to cash in on Jimi's name. No more, no less.
I really hope this comment helps somebody looking for what to look for and what to look out for when it comes to some of the signature equipment out there. Some of it makes total sense, as it's either made to imitate modified equipment or variations of it, or is made with tweakability and ease of use in mind, but some of it exists just to make a quick buck, especially if the artist has been dead for decades.
this makes me want a univibe
"How To Sound Like Jimi Hendrix"
sell your soul to the devil.
Braulio Panseco yea that's pretty much it
That’s Robert Johnson, In order to sound like Jimi you need to be the devils son.
Where do I sign?
The devil ain't that good. Hendrix's biggest addiction was playing the guitar. Not drugs or alcohol, but music.
David Harrison drugs and alcohol were definitely still there
Hit or miss, but the "who knows" was close! I applaud you for even trying! So many people'll criticize because they don't like their own playing. Good job anyways
Sounds awesome! Would love a John Frusciante one!
+Teun Music Productions It's on the books!
Reverb.com cool! and oh how about a matt bellamy one?
Knight Gash
what about jerry howbadat miller?
Where's dave simpson when you need him
So many haters in the comments. Guitarists are a fickle kind.
Effects Junkie Dude to be fair it really isn't even close most of the time. Like in purple haze he uses an octave fuzz but they don't even use that here.
Agreed sometimes they use pedals that are on the opposite side of the spectrum like a boutique fuzz for a song with no fuzz in it. Sometimes the nail it though, I think the synth series is a lot closer
That's only on the solo.
JimijaymesGuitarist lol
Not hating just pointing out the false advertisement in the video, most of these songs don’t sound like Hendrix’s tone.
I understand it can be difficult to "nail" Jimi's tone and sound. But this demo really sounds nothing even close to him.
this demo sucks on the Hendrix tone!! his finger vibrato is bad nervous hands not good
weeeeee1988 your mother has nervous hands
Earth Trillion That was super weak bro.
Yes it does! it sounds so close to him
shut the fuck up! this sounds really close to him, get your ears checked!
As a Hendrix fanatic, this doesn't sound to me like Handrix at all. Although i love Reverb chanel, nothing beats a germanium fuzz face with a slp marshall 100 w. That's a good starting point for Hendrix sound
+stipeur Our goal was to use modern pedals to achieve these vintage tones. The SL Drive is meant to replicate the Marshall Super Lead, so we use that as a sort of base, and then stack the other pedals after. The 69MKII is a germanium fuzz face clone with some added functionality.
+Reverb.com ok, thx for the reply, keep up the good work guys!
+stipeur Really you want a silicon fuzz. From '69-70 Hendrix used a silicon fuzzface and was a better man because of it. His sound from Woodstock on was his best. Silicon fuzz, Octavia, wah wah and of course the almighty univibe. Once he added the univibe to his palette, he was unstoppable from a tone standpoint.
Meastro Fuzz backed down like a Clown, nice
universalmanchild he was dead 13 months later, had already recorded , his first three albums, which were arguably his best, (they were) studio wise , are you experienced, axis ,electric lady land , but whatever kiddo
You're the best guys. Enjoying your effects stuff.
+Allen Pascua aw shucks. Glad you're enjoying it!
Thanks for including stuff from Band Of Gypsys! A lot of guitar goodness on that album!!!
Not bad but I think these pedals will get you much closer:
Fulltone Clyde Deluxe Wah (set to Jimi setting)
Fulltone Custom Shop MDV-3 Mini DejáVibe
Mojo Gear Mojo Fuzz Deluxe NKT275 Fuzz
Then there's an interesting fact about the Roger Mayer Octavia used by Jimi. It was not a silicon transistor based Octavia, it's an early prototype of Octavia with germanium OC140 transistors. This prototype was later scrapped by Roger Mayer, and the final iteration of the Octavia used silicon transistors. However, Jimi never used the silicon transistor Octavia on his albums. His Octavia was one of the early OC140 prototype.
Reuss Octaviaze is a clone of those early prototypes. The only difference between the Reuss Octaviaze and the early Roger Mayer germanium Octavia prototypes is that the prototypes used a triplet of OC140 transistors while the Reuss Octaviaze in its standard configuration has a pair of OC140 and one BC558.
So if you order it, remember to specify that you want full OC140 upgrade. When specified to do so they even get rid of the one BC558 transistor and make the pedal run completely on a triplet of germanium OC140 transistors just like the original Roger Mayer prototypes.
As for the amp, no pedal can replace a real amp. Jimi used to use a JTM45/100. If money ain't a concern, then get yourself a Ceriatone JTM45/100 clone.
However if you insist on using pedals then the JHS Charlie Brown Channel Drive is a way better choice than the Xotic SL Drive.
These are easily the best gear videos I've ever seen! Cut out all the unnecessary talking that happens on other videos!
a few neg. comments...Hendrix sounds are being captured here....no one is Hendrix but this is a fine player sounding like Hendrix and these pedals are awesome. Thanks!
Fraking amazing!!
Thank you for posting this reverb, this is a fun post. Chasing jimi's tone is a long and frustratingly large laybrinth of rabbit holes but I will share what i have learned about two different tracks that are my absolute favorites in the order of when they were recorded. First, like a rolling stone live, recorded at the Monterey pop festival. In this recordings jimi used a marshal major amp but the amp had a defective bias "factory defect" and was overpowering the 6550 tubes which were red plating so his amp tech switched in some kt88 tubes. since it was a factory flaw in the bias system and Marshall would not release this information for fear of intellectual property rights the amp was not "fixed" but jimi's tech installed the more powerful kt88 tubes that would last a few hours, jimi told his tech the amp sounded great, just put new tubes in after every gig. I'm pretty sure if you listen to that track you won't hear any effects other than jimi's signature fuzz pedal cutting in and out, a freaking tone monster was born. Ok on to the second track that I just love, just so you know I have many hendrix tracks that have a very special place in my music but none of those tracks are available to those who had jackasses visiting and they were destroyed at a party, they are non-ubtainum ha ha no joke. So that leaves the venerable and most bad ass lead ever played by any guitarist to date, machine gun, jimi had a contract with capitol records and he owed them one album or breach of contract would filed, here is the crazy part and it all came about this way, jimi was being pressured by his own community through the friends he had which were the black panthers " they were the street fighters" in the interviews after his death. Jimi was approached by his own people and asked him why do you keep doing this white music thing? You are a black man make some music that your culture can identify with, jimi did just that and fired the experience band and hired buddy miles and Billy cox, born was the band of gypsy's who recorded that album at Albert Hall live. Some people say there are more than one recording and that the second recording was better but I don't think that is true jimi had a time line and only practiced with his new band for 6 months as far as the record of this shows. So why did I take you down this rabbit hole? Because you will never aproach the sound of this track without two 1959 amps, one hooked up to one head with the univibe and the other head hooked up to a Leslie rotating cab both set to to the timing of the song.
I’m here because I’m trying to figure out my univibe. This helps. Thanks.
Fuzz & Wah. That's all you need.
Mike D I would say just fuzz and wah on occasion
univibe and octavio
Marshall, Strat, Fuzz Face, Wah, Uni-Vibe, and a coiled cable. 👌🏻🤘🏻🎸
And the guitar playing ability of god
@@Julius_Seizure Throw in an octavia
that last one was insane
C. Santana, Johnny Marr, M. Knopfler, Richard Thompson, Barry Melton, Thurston Moore.
I don't think the tones were THAT close but I loved them anyways, I think they just sold me the 69 fulltone 😂😂
For everyone who don’t like this demo, put a camera in front of you and make one better!
Good job man !
The 69’ Fuzz is perfect for early Jimi!
This is just so fucking good.
LOL ! that opening riff sounds NOTHING like Jimi tone wise! Filltone 69 slight return is much better. and there are OTHER better germ ANd silicon fuzzes that are better than the fultone - you do the research ...Deep Trip, analog Man, etc etc - your artist tone articles give the appearance you guys have either very limited knowledge Or are in bed financially w some pedal makers. sorry ..
LOL !
bobanbu I totally agree! This is nonsense!
Agreed to an extent, but Jimi played REALLY loud and also you're not considering mic technique and amp. If you used these pedals through a big amp in a band setting you'd get away with it.
Yeah, you're right! It's NOTHING LIKE HENDRIX!
But what you don't know is Hendrix's personally modified WAH pedal caused the D# note (and all the others across the fingerboard) to lower a further 1/2 a semi-tone.
So, clearly there is ONLY 2 ways to make Hendrix sound. All thanks to jimi personally modding his wah pedal. So, you either find a way to buy jimi's ACTUAL wah pedal OR you buy the authorised pedals and every other authorised product used by jimi.
bobanbu reverb .com sells used mysic gear and you're suprised, the word of the day kid's is approximation, they also show how at different price points you can come close to achieving his sound , it's youtube for christsake
I use the Dunlop Jimi hendrix band of gypsy Fuzz Face it's the same circuit jimi used in Late 1969 until his death in 1970 its incredible and very versatile
Fuzz(face) should go before the Marshall plexi style drive (SL drive). Correct order would be: Wah into Octavio into Fuzzface into Univibe into his wall of Marshall plexi’s
Good stuff here!
Well Done
Please read I went to the jimi hendrix museum and over the years I've met jimi hendrix friends and ask them questions as a fan. Jimi at the recording studio would get the sounds of different guitars and a sound of a didgeridoo. these sounds would be combined and put into the uni vibe and this sound was done for voodoo child song.
You love lamp too, yes?
A lot of great comments and opinions here but no one will ever sound like Hendrix. I’ve heard some musicians get close, but never close enough. There are too many variables ie: right handed guitar restrung, various strings used depending upon songs and the modification of pickups. Occasionally, several guitars, amps and pedals used in the studio to create a single song. Equipment which is over 50 years old. How about studio production and Jimi’s playing style. In my opinion not only was Hendrix one of the greatest and most unique guitar player/singers and innovators who ever lived, he will never be duplicated. Some things are just not meant to be!
You guys should do a Kurt Cobain one that would be cool.
Boss ds1 and a sans amp, that's it really. A quick google search will do wonders.
R A T C H E T crown power amp
R A T C H E T Nah bro DS1, DS2, Small Clone, Big Muff Fuzz, Proco Ratt and Dod Grunge
Boss DS-2, Small Clone, Amp emulator, like a lil plexi pedal set relatively clean ish.
@@prometheusvenom7189 Dod grunge isn't actually what he used aside from just having it as satire. Big muffs are only good for solos and double tracking in the studio. Krist used proco rat on bass though.
People criticizing this video : "Noooo, you need a 1966 American Standard Strat, a Marshall SV20C, an original fuzz pedal, and being born in Seattle to sound like him !!!"
I'm diggin' those boots \m/
your'e telling me reverb has no fuzzfaces laying around?
Tong Zou I think the fulltone is a great fuzz pedal. I have a red Germanium fuzz face and I would buy this for the versatility. The fuzz face is great don’t get me wrong. The sustain is forever and it has a ton of different tones when your adjust the volume of the guitar or the pedal. Most of all it cleans up really well but everything Fulltone makes is great. The Deja Vibe and Clyde Deluxe Wah are two of the best pedals out.
fuckin NAILED the hendrix tone
very cool!
I love your videos! Sorry, I don't know your name, but....the guy with the really curly hair is a great player, and makes great videos.
+Brad Carroll, that curly-haired fellow is Joe, and we appreciate you saying so!
Delicious tone in Machine Gun
Awesome !!!
Please do Alex Lifeson of Rush!
Cool idea for a video series. I wish you would clearly indicate what order you are using the pedals in. I assume you are going right to left?
+Nemo Alicunde in the description we mention that the pedals are from right to left.
Besides some questionable vibrato technique, this was pretty decent in getting the tones. Nice video.
The vibrato was really throwing me off
Fuzz face, Wah, vibe
End
vibe, the most important part
Can we get a Dead Weather video? Loads of fun distortion.
Crank a plexi.
J Mascis, Dan Auerbach, and Jack White would be really cool to see.
Hey friend,
We actually did on J Masics - check it out: ua-cam.com/video/mJ1TwZKYKKE/v-deo.html
And then we also had the honor of interviewing the man himself. Check that out here! ua-cam.com/video/aLjLBNmuO9c/v-deo.html
Sounds like they aren't pushing the amp hard enough so it sounds like a Fuzz through a crystal clear amp sounds which is harsh. Took me a long time to figure out that Fuzz's work best into an amp that is just starting to break up to a nice tube crunch and they can sound good in some cases with a cranked tube amp in full on overdrive mode. For me I have to work with the guitar volume and amp volume and then try to find the sweet spot where the fuzz starts melting into the amp overdrive. For years I bought Fuzz pedals only to sell then buy another. Finally figured out what i was missing.
The way you place the pedals, would it be the order of the pedalboard?
great playing! what amp is Joe using in this video?
+Adam S We outline all the gear in the description - it's a Marshall 1958x 18w. Thanks for watching!
What's the amp go for in price?
You can check out some listings here: goo.gl/B7WnzH
It's clear the demonstrator is a devoted student of the electric guitar. What he's trying to do is use (or overuse?) a variety of derivative analog and digital effects pedals to emulate part of the palette of tones Jimi got by driving mid and late '60s analog gear at full balls-out volume levels. Historic Note: ... In the early and mid '60s, nearly the only way to get that literally "OVEDRIVEN" tone out of your gear (That's why it's still called "Overdrive," Sparky.) was to push it to the limits, something simply not practical in the average residential neighborhood.
At times our hero and his pile of little pedals sound "fizzy" but he's somewhere in the ballpark. As I hear it, he'd probably get closer to Jimi's tone if he DIALED DOWN the effects and let his guitar's voice be heard instead of completely overwhelming it (Did I mention "fizzy"?) with every shiny little rich kid toy Reverb has to sell. While Reverb wants to sell pedals here and that's legit enough, the fact remains that Jimi had hot PICKUPS hand-wound for him by a young Seymour Duncan at his disposal. The only pedal that might come close to simulating them is a Very high-resolution EQ or Parametric Equalizer. That assumes one will put in the time and effort to learn to get the most out of it. If you're not willing to develop your skills, you're wasting your money.
The truth is there are some things you can't buy... The tools and toys are what we play the music ON... You have to be able to actually DO that. That's what separates the men from the boys... Fools refuse to face that, and that is what separates them from their money.
what kind of pickups in this guitar? Is this a Jimi Hendrix type model, and how much? What is that Fulltone 69, is that a boost or a distortion pedal? what does that Proctavia do?
+Michael Craig Strat is a Hendrix Signature Strat. Fulltone 69 is a fuzz face clone with added functionality. The Proctavia is an Octavia clone (octave fuzz).
+Reverb.com you answered none of the details about the guitar.. what kind of pickups, is it made in America, is it quality or just junk with a name, etc.. details, details..
+Reverb.com what kind of "added functionality" does the 69 have, and exactly what does an octavia do, how does it affect the sound, details..
+Michael Craig The 69 has an input bias knob and a contour knob that shapes the midrange, harmonics and sustain. The octavia is a gated fuzz with an octave filter that can produce anything from a subtle doubling effect to a full octave fizzy growl.
+Reverb.com The pickups in the Hendrix strat are American Vintage 65's. The 2015 models are made in Mexico, but played and sounded great to us. More information and listings on Reverb: goo.gl/cVri0Q
I always thought the SL Drive should be last in the chain. I will have to start experimenting with pedal order
Manic Depression is all bridge pickup!
The machine gun one sounds like a wet flipper
Tough one to nail with gear alone, it's in the fingers man! Check out my take on Jimi's iconic tone: ua-cam.com/video/Uf1YVvXOMoA/v-deo.html
why didn't you do voodoo child?! i mean come on it's the most unmistakable and iconic riff and sound he has and you don't do it?
shame on you!
but if you do a part 2, do Foxey Lady, Voodoo Child (slight return), Hey Joe and Little Wing
Please do some tame impala
The secret to his sound is him. He sounded like himself. He would sound like himself on a $40 Chinese guitar plugged into a toy radio. All players sound like themselves. That’s all there is to it, no mojo parts or magical transistors,or tubes; just the talented individual guitarist himself.
I love how everyone’s mad 😂
What about van halen? Could you do that tone next please??
+cornelius larsen great idea, in the mean time check out the MXR 5150 - goo.gl/pvxBSb
Cornelius Larsen oh hell yeah
why the digital delay, and not a tape-style delay sound?
That vibrato on manic was so cringe.
bad bends and vibratos from this guy.
However good of a player you are, if your vibrato is shrill like that, I will want to strangle you.
Sounding like Hendrix isn't just about tone. It's about playing like him too. Clearly he missed the mark here.
it lacks the beefcake and sustain which keeps Jimi's guitar sounding aggressive
if they do a part 2 hendrix video they should do...
Voodoo Child (Slight Return)
Foxy Lady
Hey Joe
Little Wing
Then show me you fucking guitar god, you are so good , right?
Well, the watchtower-intro really nails the sound! But not all your Jimi-Sounds are convincing. In general I think the distorted sounds are much too trebly and too hissy (I play your vid thru KRK-studio monitors).
Do Ritchie Blackmore
What is the amplifier configuration please? How did you equalize it?
nothing like it!
With a ton of Hendrix reissue pedals available at reasonable price, not using a single one of them (not even the fuzz face!) seems a bit weird, don't you agree?
Jimi sounds like he's playing a Stratocaster
Since you've done the greatest guitarist ever... PLEASE DO ERIC CLAPTON!!!!!!
Do Buckethead
How about Brian May next?
+Matthew Paluch yes! If you're looking for a quick fix - check out the Galileo by Catalinbread, which we use on this - goo.gl/hjQ3gZ
The thing about hendrix's is that most part it was in his hands
Guys, stop hating, the guitar might sound bad alone, without bass and drums, and you can also change it...
Robin Trower Crash Course......just set this Distortion Pedals toghether with Univibe like clone,and a Wah Wah.....and them,your Jimi Hendrix Cover Band,can Gig around America.....
Can you share the amp settings
I think the purple haze tone needs more low end, and the all along the watchtower solo needs way less gain, the Univibe on Machine Gun is way too high in the mix also that's not the order Hendrix put his Fuzz and Vibe in.
Octave fuzz for purple haze
Part 2 when???
if you feel the need to wash your ears after this, search: bassman hendrix tweed
That machine gun sound and playing was horrendous wow
I think somethings missing from this tone. I think if you ran it through a larger amp, it would sound closer. Sounds a bit thin.
I would argue that there was too much gain too. Possibly too much fuzz and not enough treble / mid?
Possibly
Do DIIV
Wah and fuzz is what u need to start.
-why didn't you do "little wing" ??
Octaver dude for purple haze
That should be a Vox wah, not a dunlop. The sound is way different.
That also should be a germanium fuzz.
Jimi only had three pedals: Tuner, Vox wah, and Germanium fuzz
Wah wah pedel and uni-vibe on machine gun
SL Drive in to fuzz or vice versa?
+Ryan Harding Since we're using the SL drive to mimic the base tone of a Marshall Super Lead, we have it first, with the Fulltone 69 (Fuzz Face Clone) after it.
+Reverb.com Surely if the pedal is meant to be "the amp" then the fuzz should be running into that?
+Ryan Harding - That makes sense, though in this case because it's a pedal and not an actual amp (though we did use a clean Marshall 18w) we thought of it as increasing gain stages, and started with the SL, into the MKII, into the Octavia.
