I can literally hear Jimi’s voice while listening to this. ✌️ That’s the coolest tone I’ve heard you play with yet. 👌
Sounds great.
Thanks man!
You're such an underrated player with an underrated channel. Tone and taste for days. Always love the content. I think your channel would be bigger if people weren't jealous f***ers. It's lonely at the top. It will happen, but it's a shame you're not at 1M now.
The research is sound, the experiments are thorough, the conclusions are such an exquisite quandary. Love it. Keep it up.
For this song, Jimi definitely had bass dialed in and he was consistent in switching to the bridge PU for a 'minute' and often reverting to the neck PU which was 90-95% of the time.
I love how the only way to get a tone out of this enormous 85 watt 2x15 rig is to dime EVERYTHING.
Great project this.
I dimed a twin Reverb 1973 at a Jam session once, it blew out 2 x 12 eminence Speakers, I would never do that Again EVER. To me it was so LOUD who could hear a GOOD TONE from it, at least when I did it. hopefully James has 2 JBL's they might be able to take it.
This is the best thing I've seen in years. I'm a nerd myself and I built a jtm 45/100 to try and get tones from axis. Keep it up
I spend a lot of time thinking about how amazing Jimi’s tone and playing were, especially on this particular song. Nice to know there’s other people out there of a similar mind. Cheers
Mike Finnegan recounts Jimi using a blonde Fender of some sort on the EL session he played, so I think you're on the right track. Tonally it sounds so much like a Bandmaster but I can hear amp reverb, so a showman is likely especially seeing as we know he had one. I have an 64 Fender Pro with a single 15, and it will do "that" thing where it's more of everything. The way these circuits limit when you're cranking it I'd be tempted to give that little bright switch a flick because more is more.
Agree, I have a '70 Bandmaster 2 x 12 Orange JBL speakers and the sound is similar 🔊🎸
Absolutely stellar tones. It's a convincing argument.
Sounds amazing 🙏
Thanks!
Sounded pretty spot on to me
I definitely feel my Bassman 2x15” cab put me well in the zone of this tone. There’s a different thump from a closed back 2x15” cab 🦏, and I say thump because is hits you in the chest. 😂
Another thing is, Jimi was swapping out the 10’s for 9’ in those Fender Rock n Roll sets, makes sense regards the string tension - I know it’s slightly off topic but worth a mention. 😅
Fun video again in the series James, definitely nailed this studio tone with this amp I feel. Also I hope you’re using ear plugs!!😂
I recently bought a 1974 Dual Showman Reverb head as the one without reverb didn’t appeal. It’s got an insane huge sound, like nothing I’ve ever heard. This video is a surprising comparison for me. The DSR volume starts breaking up beautifully at 5, the EQ is so much more usable than this and works differently.
Fantastic amplifier. Sounding good in this episode. I've actually wanted one for a long time (well, specifically a silverface dual showman reverb) because of the Peter Green/Danny Kirwain usage of them but never worked out (theyre pretty rare even in the States).
Underrated guitar player. You sound great !
Literally the most impractical rig ever 🤣 sounds AMAZING!
I think the tube preamp and the 2x15 cab are providing a lot of the magic.
This is absolutely the closest you've come, pretty bang on I'd say. There's a depth and a darkness to the original recorded tone that really comes out in this vid. You're never going to be able to fully recreate the sound of Electric Lady, mics, studio etc...
Fantastic job
Haha yeah i’ll just wheel it out for a local pub gig one day 😂 thanks!
You made a small error talking about the Watkins when you said you can turn off the tape motor so you just get “that slightly saturated tape sound”. What you mean is that you can get the “preamp drive” from the unit even when you turn off the echo. Tape saturation is an entirely different thing, where sound is overloaded to tape when recording, so you can’t get tape saturation without first recording signal to tape and then playing it back. You can conceivably put the machine to a single, really fast repeat and turn the dry mix all the way down and it will sound like you’re playing with tape saturation on your signal, but there will always be some degree of noticeable latency between striking a note and hearing it from the amp unless the machine can be set to just a few milliseconds.
I always use the normal channel on my 65’ showman
Pretty sure your jtm into a proper 4x12 will yield similar if not better results…I’m running mine into a 1960bx with 4 Jensen p12q and the sound is like a beefed up bassman. Hollow yet very together at the same time. The biggest difference in your videos IMHO was the open back vs the closed back. Big closed backs just have that sound…you could even try 2 4x12 💪🏽
Oh yeah, I also think he used a fuzz face with guitar volume lowered to clean it up, I just can’t simply hear the amp turned up especially for a fender. Try to lower the amp settings a little and use a germanium fuzz with cleanup, will bloat the lower frequencies even more. There is a clarity combined with lots of bass that you can’t get from the amp alone…
Definitely sounds better on a Marshall in my opinion. Great video none the less. Thank you for sharing.
Agreed. That was a farty mess. Marshall much better definition.
What year is that Dual Showman ? Sounds like the record, that’s glorious 🤩.
I do believe jimi’s was a silverface 68’ cause he bought it new just before Electric Ladyland, I own a 69’ and it sounds also exactly the same. These beasts are really something else. Great great job on that man.
Hey what "official tab" are you talking about? Also love the video, thanks again, can't wait to see more
It could be a blackface bassman. Same circuit except for the extra two power tubes. So much tone is in the fingers it could be many different amps.
Please make a NAM or TONEX profile out of this!
When did the urban myth become a Bassman? I always thought it was a Showman. That clean, open, BIG sound could never have come from a combo, or an amp of less than 50 watts. Perhaps I saw a photo somewhere, but the showman was definitely in my mind. I very nearly bought one once, only a scratchy pot put me off.
Neat to do this But it is a Pitfall or Rabbit hole to go Down. Hopefully you have the Funds to keep going in these places. Wonder if you will do a Beatle one, there are a few of those out there trying to match certain guitars to certain songs. Me the closest I would ever do this would be with modellers, helix or fractal, kemper, tonex, etc. I was always fascinated with how he got the Singing tone in the Solos for All Along the Watch tower, and what Amp. that could have been, and or Effects, most likely not an effect? Supposedly the Layla album is Champ Fender amps, tweed or blackface, Princeton, I always thought perhaps Deluxe Fender, Look out another RABBIT HOLE of Tone. LOL.
Watchtower is definitely Marshall
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day James also happy st Patrick's day also what is your favorite year from the 2010s ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Are those speakers JBL? They seem to be by the aluminium dust cap. Can you confirm that? Thanks! Great tone💪🏻
This was really cool, not familiar with that amp and your playing was so good and inspired especially with that tape going, cheers!
Would Red House sound right played on this rig too?
James, I’m curious as to how are you listening to the recording of the song. Are you using some sort of high quality speaker? Headphones?.. I’m not sure if you’ve gone into detail about this.
Good cabinet for your Two Rock CRS 100w
dang-it! you should have got the brownface showman.
ps: play scar tissue on it one day one it for fun... i think john used one to record it of that of all amps. LOL!
The vibrato steals gain
Did you try the Normal channel to see what it sounds like with the unused Vibrato circuitry out of the chain?
110db? you sure that amps doing alright? My deluxe reverb gets that loud on 4, I can sing at about 105db on a high belt... I'm gonna guess that there is something wrong with the amp or the power tubes
I think you are right on the money. Not only are you nailing the tone with the Showman. Mike Finnegan who played organ on Rainy Day Dream Away remembers Jimi plugged into a Fender Showman. Here is the link to his interview ua-cam.com/video/sZ01c4oIVwo/v-deo.htmlsi=Smxnyl5MtXA3xodc
This is so epic 😂😂. ❤
Yeah, it’s those “official” Hendrix strings that make all the difference.😖
That must be over six figures worth of gear. Are you the lawyer everyones talking about?
That strat sounds really good but doesn’t sound fender enough
🤔
Has more gain
We might never know what he used… 🙌
Peavey bandit 100%
Close but no cigar 😂
No chance....the sound in my head is a 59Bassman
Jimi was all about innovation… Why is everyone trying to copy his innovations..?? Silly
Why is it silly? He looked around for inspiration too. By trying what our most important influences did and mixing in our own ideas eventually we end up where we want to be. This series is about the first part of
My god, mate. Get over it. If you're not interested why even watch it.
It's just an exercise on finding tone and inspiration.
Jimi surely was an innovator - first to really use controlled musical feedback; first to use octave fuzz, and so on. But nothing in this video is about *innovations*. Amp choices and eq setting choices are not innovations. If they were, then every electric guitarist on the planet would be an “innovator”.
Why do historians bother write about the past?
Because some people who play " chase tone " they have a specific sound they are after , others want to achieve certain techniques , others just play .
