My local music store has that exact Strat and it definitely plays and feels fantastic, definitely perfect for Jimi’s tones and just a great Strat in general
6:41 buffer on the fuzz allows it to play nicely with wah pedals placed before the fuzz - without the buffer it just oscillates madly, with the buffer in, it behaves ;)
As a huge Hendrix/Trower/Gilmour fan, I've got three different variants of Uni-vibes, and one of them is always on my board. Couldn't live without one now.
@@Mister_Samsonite Nice. The best vibe I've ever owned, and played, was a 90s model Dunlop. I remember saving up $300 plus in high school to get it with the expression pedal. It finally gave out on me a few years ago. It's probably just the bulb inside that went out because it still powers up. I should try to replace it but I got a Fulltone instead. It's good but not as good imo.
@@jonbourn473 I find things to like about all of mine. The Car Crush & Dunlop are nice and compact, but the Dunlop has the same treble loss that vintage units are known for. The Modern mode on the MDV-2 is really nice for retaining treble and the expression pedal for speed is a nice bonus. I had a chance to buy an original vintage Shin-Ei Univibe for $800 several years ago, but passed on it. Still kind of kick myself for that, but for my ear's EQ and taste, many of the modern copies are built better and sound better.
The callback to laying down like an owl killed me. Amazing playing as always from Mr. Honoré, and while Jimi is well outside the scope of my abilities, I will have to explore a few of these pedals, because those IKEA Mosslanda shelves aren't going to fill themselves.
Jimi was truly the King. When he played The Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock and turned it into a war, ending on The Last Post and as a protest on the continuing Vietnam War; At that point in time, Hendrix transcended Rock music into Art. No guitarist since has ever reached that level of self-expression. And let's not forget that as a young man, Hendrix was in the 101st Airborne, so could intimately relate to the highly conscripted U.S. forces in Vietnam, not to mention the immense suffering of the Vietnamese people.
i have an earlier generation of the Band of Gypsies fuzz and i can tell you, it RULES. the output level is insane, i can push a preamp into overdrive with just the level.
I think it‘s a bit absurd that Jimi‘s tone is now over 50 years old (and so is his gear) but yet nobody has managed to sound exactly like him. You could almost think that tone is in the fingers and not in the gear🤫
Just a little correction here: the "vibe" mode isnt the "uni vibe mode", the sound that is mostly associated with univibes is the "chorus" mode. The vibe mode is basically some kind of psychedelic vibrato. There are some "vibe pedals" that doesnt even feature the vibrato mode, since the most famous and unique uni-vibe sound is the "chorus" mode.
Those mini Plexi's are not 'totally useless for home use' the circuit works really well with a 'volume control' style attenuator in the effects loop, like a JHS Black Box, at very low volumes.
I’m just trying to correct people if they wanna go buy the amp. I have the amp and cab (not the purple one). It’s amazing. For the cab I did swap the stock V-Type speakers (they were a little to much tint for me) for Celestion Creamback 65’s. I also run a JHS Little Black Amp Box Passive Amp Attenuator thru the effects loop. Essentially adds a master volume so I can crank the amp and have bedroom volume. Only $65
Hendrix sounded different and used different gear at different periods. That aside R.J. Ronquillo did a great demo of the Dunlop pedals you should check out Also Danish Pete is divine. Peace.
Hey Anderson's Jimi's known for a 68-69 strat but I never see them .since fender don't seem to do it you should .maple neck maple fingerboard no skunk stripe big headstock and heal adjust trussrod four bolt.if you put the Dunkin pick ups in it ,it's more Jimi then his signature.
11:47 I've said this for years, i always thought he'd be like Santana, but the way he loved experimenting with sound, I believe he would've gone down a pink Floyd route, but with guitar like Santana
So god damn cool , Hendrix got me started in this great world of Guitar , I always judge Jimis playing in the era he was in , there wasn't alot of Guitarists playing like he did , Hendrix and Clapton and Page changed Electric Guitar for all those styles , Jimi for the Psychedelic Rock , Page for Rock and Folk , Clapton for Blues and Modern Blues .
Page and Clapton haven't change music in any way as lenny kravitz or Slash they are truly only some copiers who have forgotten to remeber people they have copied...Talking about clapton or page and forgetting jeff beck for example is a nonsens, by the way i don't like beck's music...and there's a lot of example like this... Talking about post r'n'r music greatest you can't forget about zappa, bowie, davis, hancock, etc...
Marshall really need to be inspired by Fender, and do some actually usable at home combos - like Fender have done with their Tonemaster versions of the Deluxe and so on. JCM800 and Plexi flavours would be excellent. But as usual it takes Marshall about 10 years to get round to anything.
This is amazing i cant wait for randy rhoads mxr distortion plus to come out. Apparently his pedalboard was inspected and so was his distortion plus. I feel like 2023 is gonna only get better for music gear!
I wonder what Jimi would have used had he not been taken so early. He tried everything that was new. He’d probably have gone full digital if he were alive today.
I often think people confuse tone with player’s skill. Tone is how the instrument sounds where as the skill is how the players play. Plenty have achieved the tone, but the individual voice or skills not so much.
No disrespect but I did not here an octave from that ring modulator, not sure if that was on purpose maybe because of trying to get the manic depression sound but if you pan left or right on the original album you will hear the ring modulator I guess which is mixed with the fuzz pedal so....
I think it was Joe Gore who compared Jimi to a light bulb. If you leave a light on ALL the time it will burn out pretty quick. And Jimi Hendrix certainly was on all the time, so if he was still alive ...
Guess the only way to avoid a RU-vid copyright block with Hendrix's music is to shill for the Hendrix estate with these pedals Jimi never used. As Beato said, no one is listening to his music compared to others from the era because you can't even play 2 notes together that may sound Hendrixy.
It’s just not true. There are countless guitar lessons of Hendrix songs. Certain music will get flagged, depending if the video is monetized or not, but there are many bootlegs and other Jimi videos, that have been up for years. Checkout the Vibratory or Greg Just type either with Hendrix, and there are many videos.
@@CorbCorbin I would differ with your interpretation. Here is a recent chap explaining the issue, but this example is with the Eagles, another copyright blocker, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X5n6Cn5Guqc.html
Jimi never jumpered the 2 channels. He daisy chained his Marshalls but always the 1st channel. Check the photos. For god's sake, play the octavio on the neck pickup above the 12 fret to get the sound. And the sliding G(9) chords have the open G string!!!
The SV-20 is areally good lower watt Plexi, better than the origin, but If Hendrix still lived, I doubt that he played one or a 1959 in 2023. Rather a VH-4 or Savage 120 in my opinion. Even my Killer Ant with a SD-1 in front sounds much better, and at much lower volume, so I sold my SV-20 again and replaced it with a boutique hot-rod Plexi with the gain range of a JCM but still the sound of a Plexi. But if you are a Hendrix tone purist, which anyway does not make much sense, as long as you do not have his unique musical creativity, which hardly will happen, this is a good setup, I think. Unfortuantely it offers too little gain for contemporary music.
