Re: Post Clips of YOUR Hendrix Tone
my little contribution to this cool forum theme ^^
but it's not even played through a real cab, it's using some cab sims for my metro 69 SL. It makes the signal too hi fi and thin unfortunately.

Re: Post Clips of YOUR Hendrix Tone
It's not a Hendrix tune, its not a Hendrix setup
but I do make use of everything I've learned from you guys ...
keep in mind this setup is for very small club use
the microvibe is modded ... in what I think is the correct way
there are three amps in use 2 modded 5 watt valve jrs and a 15 watt Traynor guitar mate
each amp saturates slightly differently so that you can get that thunderous definition at club volume
check it out ....

Re: Post Clips of YOUR Hendrix Tone
Great groove! Like a "What if Jimi or Trower played reggae?"...very nice playing. You've got a great rhythm sense, and most real working musicians will tell you that is what is sorely lacking in most guitar players- nice job!JimiJames wrote:'69 Stratocaster Marshall Plexi...
I'd love to see some good pics of that Strat...Is it the real deal? It kinda reminds me of the black Monterey strat...

I have no proof other than the same simple mod nails both soundsXplorer wrote:interesting video.

I flipped out ... I can't play van halen but both sounds are completely THERE
Eddies amp is after all an early one from a time when Marshalls were not well distributed.
It gets you thinking

Re: Post Clips of YOUR Hendrix Tone
and what was this mod again , other than the bright cap removed ?
Yes, but judging the video sound, i'd say both tones are not so far but much more complex.
the mod you're talking about might be one important common point among some others, i'm sure we both agree on this ^^
isn't VH using a jtm45/100 when peoples are taling about the brownsound ? and didn't he use a single coil pickup in the bridge, directly to the volume and the output ?
But VH using the jimi hendrix's own amp, i'm not sure .. ! this is more easy to imagine that they both featured a well known mod at this time perhaps, on the same amp i guess. VH just pushed it harder with no fuzz. Jimi ( my opinion ) didn't play his amp at max, and he pushed it with his fuzz when needed. it makes a difference, right ?

Re: Post Clips of YOUR Hendrix Tone
the amp is just like a stock 12 series including a 5k bright cap ... this amp is based on the 68 split cathode superlead or 12 seriesXplorer wrote:and what was this mod again , other than the bright cap removed ?

stock they seem to bright for Hendrix ... but he used them
I prefer the shared cathode amps personally
if you listen to johnny b goode from in the west hendrix does not engage the fuzz till about 2:10 when the feedback note of the solo starts ... the live tone is allways fuzzy even when the fuzz face is off
also listen to the Hendrix Blues album there are many examples of his different marshalls they all sound great but have the common element of sounding thicker and more distorted than a stock marshall especially when you consider he's using strats
I was going for a Hendrix tone and the Van Halen sound landed in my lap without looking for it
I was surprised
don't forget these sounds are captured with a terrible cannon camera with no echo reverb or "production"

Re: Post Clips of YOUR Hendrix Tone
i prefer the shared cathode a lot too.
i'm sorry, i'm a bit confused, do you mean 5000 pf instead of the 500-560 pf cap that goes along with the 470k resistors ?
i could try , i've got some Rs 5000 pf i think, but perhaps rated 1kv.
on the hendrix blues album, he also uses some fender amps sometimes, but i see what you mean. but i still think it's not difficult ( at least with a superlead ) to reach such distortion with a strat, or even much much more, even with the amp not at max. and it's perhaps still fuzzy when he rolls down the volume pot just a bit ? but i don't say that he never had his amps at max.
it's well known that hendrix was looking for more treble in his tone. But i think that it doesn't mean that he wanted his tone to be thin. I suppose that he wanted it to be thicker, and with more treble at the same time, and more power. looking for a compromise. and it might make sense perhaps for a little part, since he claimed to have sounds in his head that he couldn't reach.
i think that it's not a bad compromise when you have your amps loud enough, and maybe some fuzz, and that you still want a tone clean enough, to play the strings softly enough : this may give some nice thick tone, and a lot of expression with attacks when needed. like being the pilote of a monster ferrari engine or something, but driving it softly, mastering it, you know ?
and sure, it may involve your mod, into this engine.

i will not explaim more till i've spent more time with the mod and settled the specs
this was my first try of a brand new idea

Re: Post Clips of YOUR Hendrix Tone
yes but what do you mean by 5k ? for a resistor i can understand, but for a cap i'm less used to it.
And also, good luck on your new idea exploration, it's interesting
