killing it mate! I think Hendrix would feel honoured to see people being so inspired by him half a century after his passing
Thank you so much my friend! That really means a lot! 🙏🎸🎶
Do you think that he can’t see!?
@John Seventy who made that octave fuzz?
@@johnseventy also what amp?
@@cjsnidlio9409 Dunlop Octavio and Orange CR120H amp.
These are legendary tones imo
Thank you! 🙏🎸
Fantastic tones. Another reminder of how good a Gypsies studio album would've been
Thank you my friend! A Gypsies studio album would’ve been amazing! 🎸🎶
The day that The Cry of Love came out, I rushed back from Tower Records with it and put it on the turntable. My FIRST reaction was, what happened to your sound, Jimi???? Engineers always had a problem with Jimi's playing volumes. Compare studio productions of "Stepping Stone" and "Straight Ahead" with... Dolly Dagger, Easy Rider, Pali Gap, Angel, Astro Man, Earth Blues... EVERYTHING after Jimi wasn't involved in the final mixing. It's obviously Hendrix' "style of playing" but I wouldn't say it is his "SOUND" Listen to what Jimi in this interview says at 1:02 - ua-cam.com/video/gEGkOE8y8Pg/v-deo.html
Nope... the ORIGINAL stereo *45rpm* release of Stepping Stone was pulled after about a month...the REMIXES of it on all the posthumous albums are just as sterilized as the others... "Manic DepressionS, touching MY soul". Ever notice Jimi sings "depressionS" at every instance, like from the OUTSIDE? A world of difference... A frustrating mess!
Killer tones man! That univibe sounds absolutely *sweet*
Thank you my friend! 🙏
I gotta tell ya'… I'm so old that I had all of the original models of those gadgets except for the Octavia, which wasn't really available in the late sixties. Original Vox Cry Baby, Fuzz Face, and Uni-Vibe. Of course none of them were buffered so my guitar signal suffered when they weren't on. Still, I wish I still had some of those things.
Wow that’s so cool! Nothing quite like those vintage units!
@@johnseventy And for what it's worth, I still have my 1965 Stratocaster that I bought in '69. You can't imagine how disappointed I was after I got the guitar and didn't immediately sound like Jimi Hendrix, lol.
@@Mooseboy08 oh man!
Wow!! 👍
What fuzz face is this? Exactly the tone I’m looking for beautiful well done
Thank you! 🙏 This is just a BC183L circuit in a custom BOG themed enclosure.
Pretty good man, I have one question, what do you have that BOG Fuzz Face set at? I have the mini BOG FF and it sounds good with the guitar volume flat out but rolling down the volume it just gets muffled, almost none usable clean roll off.
I'm curious if the full size one sounds different, it definitely has different components than the Mini.
*edit*
So you inspired me to put my Chase Tone aside and experiment with the BOG Fuzz Face Mini again, I think I finally figured it out. Obviously Jimi didn't have the fuzz up too high for the Fillmore shows, I set my fuzz around half and volume to push the amp. Now my biggest disappointment with the BOG is cleanup with the guitar volume. It always sounded real dull and muddy rolling off the guitar volume, it would clean up but got real dull. Anyways I dimed the presence and treble on my HDRX 20 and now it sounds right, thats that Fillmore sound. Crazy is now I see that weird tone it gets when you roll off is really a part of his sound for those shows. With the presence and treble dimed the fuzz actually cleans up quite nice and that paired with the Uni Vibe pre amp is sounded damb close now 👌 Thanks for motivating me to spend more time with my BOG Fuzz, happy new year and keep keeping Jimi's flame alive 👌
That’s awesome man! I’m really glad everything worked out! I usually run my BOG at a similar setting. Recently I found that running the volume at 3 o’clock, and fuzz at 9 o’clock had some pretty cool tones, and cleaned up pretty well too. Sometimes I’ll also run the fuzz a little higher at 12 o’clock.
The fuzz face in this video is actually a custom BOG with BC183b transistors, so everything is pretty much maxed on it. I have another video where I compare the two.
In terms of the Mini and Full Size versions, in my experience, they both sound the same. I’d say maybe the Mini was “tighter” in sound, probably because it was powered by power supply. You can’t go wrong with either.
Happy New Year to you as well my friend! Thanks for checking out the channel! 🎸🎶
When I first saw the thumbnail, and before I read the title, I thought the Uni-Vibe pedal was a toaster 😂
Great demo. You captured Jimi's tone & playing style really well! 👍👌🙂
It does kinda look like that lol! 😂
Thank you my friend! 🎸🎶
Very nice tones! What guitar and amp are you using?
Thank you! I’m using a 70’s reissue Stratocaster and an Orange CR120H amp.
Oh yeah I’m digging this ! Fantastic playing, love the set up. Amazing to think Jimi is still inspiring us and his music continues to keep giving.
Thank you so much my friend! Yes, so much inspiration in Hendrix’s music, keeping the spirit alive. 🎸🎶
What song are you playing with the fuzz face? 2:51
Ezy Ryder
Well done, pal. I've been looking for a 'breakdown' type video and all the modern vids are just overdriven, vastly reverbed or slap-backed gash - very disheartening. You're the winner, pal.
Thank you my friend! Greatly appreciate you tuning in! 🙏
I come back to this video every week... What is the first song's name btw?
Thank you my friend! Greatly appreciate you tuning in! 🙏 The first tune was a riff from “Changes”.
This is the content I appreciate. I feel like can’t get my vox wah to sound that crisp before fuzz!
Greatly appreciate you watching! Try placing a pedal in between your fuzz and wah. Sometimes that works.
Hello John! Great video :)
I have some questions, maybe you have an idea and can help me? 😅
(1) The famous solo of machine gun - the first note(s) - they are sustaining super long. That must be feedback, do you also think so? How can you get that harmonic feedback? Just by the volume of the amp? Or is he creating it by a combination of wah and fuzz?
(2) what effects is he using at machine gun? I think it is clearly univibe - but is he also using fuzz with roled back volume? I am not sure if the univibe is creating all the „wah“ - is he also using the wah? Probably just very slightly?
(3) what are your settings for the fuzz and your amp (I assume you are using a marshall plexi (super lead / sv20)?)
These are very specific questions - I hope it is not too much - but it is great to find somebody liking this very exact thing 😅
Thank you and have a great day!
Regards,
Stefan
Hi Stefan! Thank you!
(1) So on that first note, I believe that Jimi is bending the 17th fret a full step up on the high e string. On most recordings of “Machine Gun”, I believe he also has the univibe speed at maximum while he is bending this. Some versions have lots of feedback, but the key part is the sustain from bending that note and the speed of the univibe, as well as volume, fuzz.
(2) Yes, he uses univibe, fuzz, wah, and on a few recordings, octavia. He does roll the volume down on his guitar while using the fuzz, usually during parts of the songs where he is playing rhythm. Sometimes he has no fuzz on during rhythm. He uses more fuzz during the solo.
(3) My fuzz face volume is usually maximum, and the fuzz level is usually between 4-5 o’clock. For BOG fuzz face, I usually run the volume at 3 o’clock and fuzz level at 12 o’clock. The fuzz face here used the former of the two. The amp I use is actually an Orange CR120H 🍊 through x2 PPC112 cabinets. The settings are a little hard to describe over text, but there are two volumes, a master and channel volume. I run the channel volume maxed, and the master volume lower, so I can achieve break up tones without playing too loud 😅.
Hope this helps out and thanks for the comment! 🎸🎶
Hello John!
Thank you very much! That helped me a lot! I am going to try it out the next days when I have time :)
Thanks again for the great video!
Best regards
Stefan
@@stefanstefan911 Glad I could help!
This makes my heart happy. Thank you brother.
Thank you so much my friend! I’m really glad you enjoyed it! 🎸🎶
Your playing is excellent!
Thank you my friend! 🙏
2:36 Is this riff from any specific song from Jimi or it was just an improvising from this guy?
This riff is from Jimi Hendrix - Ezy Ryder.
Great setup. I have a similar setup. Instead of the univibe I have a Dunlop Rotovibe and. Tube Screamer vs the Fuzz Face. I used to have a Dunlop JH Fuzz Face with his albums listed on the back plate. Some girlfriend got that one I think somewhere. But its good to know that there are some of us who think alike. Now to find someone to jam with
That’s awesome! The Dunlop Rotovibe is such great univibe!
Love your signal chain bruv
Out of curiosity, what are your settings on the octavio? That vibe bro looks like a beast, I've got an Argenziano Gypsy Vibe on the way ✌️
Thank you my friend! The settings on the Octavio are maximum for “Level”, and actually minimum for “Fuzz”. Ooh yes! The Argenziano Gypsy Vibe is amazing! I am waiting on one as well. Stay tuned for a demo! Hope you enjoy yours! 🤘🎸🎶
sounds like him
the vibe is spot on, great sound
Thank you so much! 🎶
It's a muthafucking shin ei, the real deal. I'm chasing the octavio, but it seems discountinued on Dunlop. Hope i'm wrong about that.
Thanks for share, John . You are awesome ! I love Hendrix songs and guitar playing style ! i subscribe on your awesome channel🎸🎸🎸
Thank you so much my friend! I greatly appreciate you! 🙏🎸🎶
JOHN SEVENTY, try to find which songs jimi hendrix used the strats tone controls to get different strat tones to make a YT lesson about
I don’t quite understand. Which songs for example?
@@johnseventy which hendrix album songs or hendrix live concert songs did hendrix roll back the strat tone pots controls?
@@waynegram8907 I don’t know exactly which songs or concerts he did that. Probably all of them.
Man this is a killer vid!
Jealous of that gear esp the vibe-bro…awesome 😀
Thank you so much my friend! Appreciate you tuning in! 🎸🎶
You've made Sir Jimi Hendrix proud!! Awesome playing sir 🔥🔥
Thank you so much my friend! 🙏🎸🎶
Hendrix tones and almost Ronnie Van Zant bare feet...Got to love it.
Lol...
Lol thank you!
I like videos like this. Just think what this could do for a young player starting out. We didn't have You Tube in the late 70s and 80s to help us figure stuff out.
Thank you! Glad it could help out!
Hashaha! Even down to the coil cable.
Ha ha thank you! 🎸🎶
I give the guitar sound a 9 out of 10 and the socks a perfect 10.
Ha ha thank you! 🙏

which speakers do you use
I’m using an Orange CR120H through x2 PPC112 cabinets. I believe the speakers are Celestion V30.
JIMI WAS EXPERIMENTED ,THE NEW SOUNDS OF 1968 !!! AND HE WAS A MASTER FOR TRYING THOSE DIFFÉRENTS SOUNDS. CRY BABY VOX +FUZZ FACE +UNIVIBE +AND OTHER OSCILLATIONS EFFECTS. , 😃👍👍👌👌👌⛤⛤⛤⛤♾♾♾♾
I usually have to run my fuzz before my wah or it just dosent sound happy! Would love to know how you achieved it! :)
I find turning the fuzz knob back a little, maybe 4 o’clock helps. You have to play around with the knobs a bit to find the sweet spot. Doesn’t always work out the same way on every fuzz.
Also placing another pedal in between the wah and fuzz slightly acts as a buffer, and will help it be more usable.
Slightly dirty amp?
Yes
I have the Vibe-Bro also. What number is yours? Mine is in the 430's...
What Fuzz Face is that? Who made it?
I’m not sure what the serial number is on my Vibe-Bro, but I bought mine from them in late 2021. I know the earlier versions have the red and white chorus/vibrato switch. Mine has a black switch. This fuzz face is a custom and has a BC183 circuit. Built by a friend of mine on Instagram.
Great sound!
Thank you! 🎶
@@johnseventy No worries 👍🤙
who are u? i like this
Thanks man! I’m just a guy who likes Jimi and effects pedals! 🙏🎸🎶
Super cool video.Sounds great. ☮
Thank you my friend! Greatly appreciate you! 🙏🎶
Always excellent to see a fellow fan! This video is awesome, and I went through a similar path in my formative days of learning guitar, but with the Captain Coconut 2, a Picture Wah and Tubescreamer for the base tone. There's nothing like having the power to sound like Jimi at your feet 😂 But to get the actual tones, you have to nail some of the feeling too, which is why I appreciate this video so much
Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate the kind words! 🙏🎸🎶
I like my fuzz face to lead the train. But yeah I dig it man. You're one cool cat.
Thank you man! Appreciate you! 🎸🎶
sounds amazing! may I ask which amp you used?
Thank you my friend! I’m using an Orange CR120H w/ x2 PPC112 cabinets. 🎶
Fantastic!!!! I wonder did you have the Octavia on at the beginning of Machine Gun with the Univibe? That might be something I was missing. Thank you.
Thank you! No, I just had the fuzz and univibe on. My guitar was starting to go out of tune lol, so it might have sounded like that. 🎸🎶
@@johnseventy Lol....well there you go. Fellow Hendrix fanatic. Thanks for post. Really sounded great.
@@turkeeg7644 Lol yes! I’m really glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
When you kick on the fuzz face the first time, was your guitar volume on 10? I love the FF but when my guitar is on 10 the tone turns to complete mush.
No, I rolled the guitar knob down to about maybe 6 when the fuzz was on. But I have since changed my amp settings. The amp volume is louder now and I roll my guitar knob down to about 5-6 for my clean tone before fuzz.
Then when I activate the fuzz face, I have the volume set at 10 o’clock, fuzz set between 4-5 o’clock. This allows me to turn on the fuzz without too much of a volume increase, since the amp volume is already loud.
Basically, if your getting too much “mush” at volume 10 on your guitar knob, it either means you need to increase the volume on the pedal, or increase the volume on the amp.
Hope this helps out! 🎶
@@johnseventy That's helpful! I will experiment with the volume. Thanks.
great playing, which also shows how important the rhythm section was to the overall songs
Thank you my friend!
That's spot on! I recall to have heard a sound esact this close. I was wondering, do the univibe 'filters' the sound even when it's turned off?
Thank you my friend! When the effect is canceled (speed is off), the univibe preamp still affects your tone. But if you turn the switch off to the univibe, then it will turn off the signal from your guitar to amp (no sound). The univibe switch must always be on when in use in the signal chain.
That's the missing key i haven't had in mind. Yesterday I experimentet with my JHS unicorn at the end of the chain with the depth rolled down.
Finally! Thank God!
Muito bom!!! Esse Guitar manja!!!
Thank you my friend! 🙏
As per comments below....Great sounds. Love it.
Thank you my friend! Means a lot 🙏
early this morning was recording some hendrix stuff using amplitube 5 and thinking wow those pedals are +50 yo and now im using a pc to emulate his sound, i wish i could play a full stack with analog pedals, nice sound.
That’s so cool! Thank you!

Thank you my friend! 🙏🎸🎶
I wish my Deja-Vibe could sound like this...
Thanks! I’ve heard really great things about the Deja-Vibe. How do you like yours? I ended up selling this Vibe-Bro.
The wave of the effect is not as smooth (Hendrix Woodstock). The version 2.0 (gray) has been modded with possibility of faster and slower speed. It now has a 15db boost power compared to barely over untiy gain before.
@@thesoundpurist I see. That’s how I kinda felt about this one. The Vibe-Bro wasn’t as smooth either, and I felt like it was tone sucking. The preamp was very dark sounding, which made the vibe effect sound “mushy”. The version 2.0 you mentioned sounds interesting. I’ll have to check it out one day. 🎶
superb 🎼👍❤️
Thank you! 🙏❤️
This is interesting, thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome 👍👍
Thank you! 🙏
Amazing 🤩

Man could you demo the vibe with the expression pedal?
Yes, stay tuned! Just got a Gypsy Vibe too, so I’ll demo that.
@@johnseventy looking forward to it, there are a handful of vibe demos where they just skip the expression pedal, in theory that’s the best part!
@@herbalbert I know right! Love the expression pedal. I’ll be sure to feature that a lot! 🎸🎶
John what amp and settings do you use? Thanks
I use an Orange CR120H through x2 PPC112 cabinets. For the settings, they were different in this video. I have changed them a bit. I’m now running the master volume: between 11 and 12 o’clock, channel volume: between 9 and 10 o’clock, treble: a little past 4 o’clock, mids: cranked 5 o’clock, bass: 10 o’clock, and gain: near 2 o’clock. Unity volume is around 5 on my guitar knob (strat). 🎶

Subbed!
My man! Greatly appreciate you! 🙏🎶
How can I get this tone on a budget??
Honestly, I’d just say playing louder on your amp. Most of these pedals sound good when your amp is cranked or close, achieving “breakup” clean tones. You’ll want to roll your volume knob down on your guitar to clean up. If you do this, you can make most pedals sound really good! 💯
Thank you so much! Sounds like I just need to practice haha Your playing is killer!
