There was no 'gain' control on the JTM45 or the Superlead 1959.
Really glad you identified his first wah was a Vox 846 and not a Crybaby. I had an opportunity to look over Jimi's stage set-up at his June 1970 show at Baltimore Civic Center because one of the opening bands, Crank, were friends of mine who briefly got me backstage before the concert. I saw a Vox wah and a red DA Fuzz Face with black knobs placed in front of a row of Marshall stacks behind rear stage curtains. If there was an Octavia or a Univibe I didn't see them. But no Crybaby.
True, meant 'volume' there. Apparently he liked to run the amp fairly clean, just before break up and then ad fuzz on top. I'm sure that changed depending on environment though..
@@mixingmasteringonline OK I figured you meant volume.
Jimi did start off using the JTM45, you're right, but the JTM45 was never issued in a 100W configuration. (Ealy versions were between 30W-50W.) He switched to the 1959SLP when it became available shortly after, to get the required power and volume. You're bang on correct about something else though: the secret to Jimi's tone was... Jimi! 🙂
Yeah the nomenclature gets a bit funny. It’s known as JTM 45/100 but the design is different from the original JTM45 . I just went with what it’s now known as. Cheers for the info on 1959SLP! 🙏
That is incorrect about Hendrix's Marshall's being 1959 Super leads. There was no super lead Marshall in 1966. They were the JTM 45 and JTM45/100 (Super). This amplifier was a straight clone of a Fender Bassman. Therefore these first heads were bass circuits! Not lead. The same amps were used by Clapton for the first Fresh Cream album. Marshall Super Leads were introduced in 1967. But they were called lead amps because of the bright cap on the input volume 1 channel. Or the bright channel. Other than that? They were still bass circuits. They kept changing or revising the super lead circuit as time marched on. Making them much brighter and more aggressive. The Marshall Super Bass carried much of the earlier JTM 45/100 amplifier circuit. Hendrix would have at some point purchased SLP heads but hea favored the bass circuit. His favorite amp for recording and playing was his original JTM45/100 with the super lead tone stack of 33k/500pf resistor and capacitor.
Jimi Hendrix was a master feedback artist, the sound was almost unreal. I didn't think that anyone could play like that. The way he played the national anthem at Wood Stock absolutely blew me away.
He has one of the most immediately definable tones and styles of all time I think, on any instrument. There aren’t many musicians where you immediately know who it is I don’t think.
Just love this channel!
Thank you very much sir
Thank you!
Love your channel, and the thoroughness and accuracy of your videos - many thanks.
I love Eddie Kramer's influence on the sound of Hendrix's recordings, too.
Thank you!
You are most welcome :) @@mixingmasteringonline
The Roger Mayer Octavia was also used on Led Zeppelin ramble on

@@maxmunzert9725the violin like sustaining part
Thanks. I enjoyed that
Thank you!
Interesting
Thank you!
No gain knob on those old amps mate
Yeah, meant volume there of course. I have one of those old amps.
Some people claim that Jimi used Fender amplifiers during the recordings of the Electric Ladyland album. Is that true?
A bassman on Voodoo Chile I think....
Hendrix had a terrible sound and always seemed like he was out of tune.
