Nailing the impossible HENDRIX HEY JOE tone with a transplanted PEAVEY WINDSOR!

I'm playing a 200X Peavey Windsor 100W that been modded by the legendary swedish amp guru Tommy Folkesson. It has received Tommy's Eternal Classic treatment and the results are MIND BLOWING!
Gear:
200X Peavey Windsor Head
1973 Marshall 1960B with two '73 T1221 Greenbacks and two '76 T1281 Blackbacks
2008 Gibson Les Paul R9 with a Seymour Duncan Alnico 2 Pro in the bridge Stratocaster with 1960s Lipstick pickups.

[@tonebender69]

Basically a JTM45 Marshall/Vox AC30 mix. Fantastic tone!!!!!! Very impressed. I agree with other's here saying that this is one of the best amps heard here on your channel.

[@darrellminx5459]

You got that right bro

[@John-mh9ty]

That was a great mood for the Windsor. Awesome Jose style tones.

[@MrSheymie]

Those Strat clean tones are really beautiful. Highly driven LP tones sound fantastic!.

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks!

[@ElPedro212]

one of the best amps I've ever heard on your channel! Amazing by Mr. Folkesson!

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks! Glad to hear it

[@tomasvanecek8626]

So rare to hear such a pristine clean sounds and overdriven ones too from the same amp.. magic 🤩

[@imcttunome]

One of the finest sounding amps you've ever featured here. Thanks, Johan and kudos to Mr. Folkesson.

[@MrTee-hw7mp]

Wow. There was definitely something special going on with that tone. I know the Pulsonic cones always help tremendously but this was something more. It even sounded like it inspired Johan a bit more than usual.

[@peterschaefer1665]

Tommy is a genius! He does an incredible Marshall JMP-1 mod as well as many others!!

[@JohanSegeborn]

Yeah, he certainly is

[@MrTee-hw7mp]

I know nothing about amp circuits but I could probably listen to him talk about it for hours.

[@donsmith5385]

I always watch when you show what you can do with a Peavey amp, this was so incredible! Omg! I want that amp to mod!

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks Don, glad to hear it!

[@DMSProduktions]

Now THAT, is a ROCKIN' amp! Well done Joh & Tommy! \m/

[@CapstoneTider]

Johan can hone in on an amps sweet spot like no one else on KZbin.

[@christiand7678]

Folkesson is the king!!! I met him couple of times and i always go to him if i have amp issues. Always nice and you know what you are paying for.

[@greacen]

Gorgeous tones coming from this amp & mod. As usual, your playing shows off the best bits. Thanks for including Tommy's discussion of the circuit and demo of the controls.

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks Chris, I’m glad to hear that!

[@DemonKingOFFICIAL]

Windsor is way underrated… even stock. Sounds sick!

[@eddieholmes3236]

Fascinating stuff Johan. I preferred the less saturated tones. The LP sounded fantastic throughout and the Strat at about 4:30 was amazing. Great playing throughout.

[@joeybegnomebino-rama1831]

I've a Peavey Windsor Studio 15 W since 2008 and I Can tell that's a great amp. Great rewiew. Cheers from France ! 🍻👌

[@espenskivik3625]

Great demo of a amazing amp. As as a happy owner of 2 Folkesson modded amps, one 2210 with the mark 7 mod and a 1959HW with the eternal classic, i really learned more about tweaking the tone stack. Thanks Johan and Tommy!

[@mryerp]

Clean or dirty, this sounds wicked. Not all mods turn out this good, that’s for sure!

[@Philtration]

Wow! That sounds amazing. Thanks to you and Tommy for this beauty.

[@TSSVillains]

very nice tones, thank you for sharing

[@stephennims4226]

Great amp and FANTASTIC playing!

[@semojo1]

This amp does everything very good. clean or very sweet gain. This guy did a great job modding this amp.

[@SuperGaryBurns]

Folkesson - Legend ! 🔊

[@pellemustaine3905]

Otroligt roligt att se hur förstärkarens ljud påverkar ditt gitarr spel. Har nog aldrig hört dig riffa så tungt någon gång :-) Låter svinbra den stärkaren :-)

[@JohanSegeborn]

Tackar så mycket! Grymt gott att höra

[@merqury5]

Great sounds absolutely.

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks!

[@Ireland831]

This has to be done out of the love of amp modification as I can't see there being big bucks in modding a Peavy Amp. This amp sounds stellar....nice playing and killer amp!

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks, glad to hear that!

[@SCOTT-ki3ve]

It's sounds great with every different eq setting. You can't make it sound bad!

[@SCOTT-ki3ve]

This may be the best yet! And considering all your previous tones this is a BOLD statement. Thanks for sharing. Is there a way for us to get one with his mod from him? Also is there anything specific about the peavey Windsor? Vs. say my Music man HD 130 head,for example?

[@Banjoandguns]

It’s amazing how no amp builders can make something like this and sell to general market for 400$ every thing sold leaves end user to needing more and forever stuck in a endless loop of needing more

[@JohanSegeborn]

Glad you like the tone. Yeah this proves that world class tone is mainly in the electronically circuit and doesn’t necessarily need fancy components. But for bigger amp builders it’s hard to build a business case on that. Affordable world class stuff will always required a bit of investigation on the customers part

[@nickbenjamin6527]

Yes, there's a considerable 'sub-industry' of individuals making cool musical gear, selling direct to customers but does require investigation to find them as Johan says!! Maybe not at 400 bucks however...😅

[@kcbeck5856]

400$? the closest you can get is an old peavey VT 300-400$ and get a set of tubes 400$

[@tonebender69]

Wow! Amazing tone!!!!

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks, glad you like it!

[@jensk4140]

Sounds amazing!

[@Voodoo66Chile]

Commenting for a second time, I keep coming back to this Video as this amp is oddly the best sounding "Marshall" I've ever heard. Words can't describe how bad want a Windsor modified my Folkesson like this one... Has Folkesson shared any schematics or details on his mods for this Windsor??? Just sounds mind blowing imo

[@dantahoua]

This amp sounds fantastic!

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks Vincent!

[@paultrombetta]

Sheeeeeit. Great gain structure /taper

[@brucejoyce9934]

Sounds incredible!!

[@darrellminx5459]

I bet This will be great Johan. Cheers!

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks Darrell! Cheers!

[@cechichan]

Hello Sir ;D hope u are well!! I wanted to tell u that i love ur vids as always >^^> i do miss a bit the playing with background nature picture and stuff u used to do tho ;D

[@Richard-gp5gl]

Killer Amp💪💪💪clean and with drive very nice warm punsh 👊

[@matzer8846]

YUP ... nailed it ... great sound 👍

[@rikardlundgren7779]

Nice sounds but I didn’t expect anything else when Tommy been tweaking the amp ! It would be nice to hear the raptor pedal

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks! I played the Raptor in earlier gain pedal shootout actually

[@darrellminx5459]

you just about got the Hey Joe tone .... very close! indeed. I think you have your sought after Ace Freely tone as well... very close to Tony Iommi! If you crank the bass and add a muff and turn it all the way up and you are there!!! The hey Joe tone just needs some vibrato from your fingers and only open chords and you are there. Great job Johan!!!!

[@BMichel347]

That was fantastic

[@massapower]

At the 25:45 mark it Gets Very Dirty & GRITTY !! 😁🤟

[@superspeederbooster]

Damn it sounds really tight, tube screen in the front and this thing would kill!

[@magnuslilleengen]

Finally a glimce og the Swedish amp-wizzard Tommy Folksson:)

[@dannbrauckmann1545]

Wow, that sounds great! What an interesting mod! Tommy appears to be a genius. I'd love to see a schematic or a layout of what he's done to that Windsor, but understand if he'd prefer to keep the details to himself. I've never encountered a mod like this before. I like that double-gang preamp gain pot idea, the way it boosts mids as you turn it up. Very cool stuff. And fascinating that he deleted the feedback loop, making it more Vox-like. I am curious what the Resonance control does, now. He didn't go into the way that works. Is it not in circuit, anymore? Really really cool amp!

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks Dann!

[@AuntAlnico4]

Sounds freaking awesome ! Sounds like a nice modded jcm800 from the 80's !

[@nbl95]

And this is why I subscribe to t his channel. Fucking legend.

[@krachbumbang]

pretty much knowledge in one room

[@SunsetPunk]

Why doesn’t he build his own amps???? Crowded market? Too much hassle? I love the sound of his mods! Also, fantastic video yet again 🥳🥳

[@siegfriedwashburn3484]

Hi Johan! Really very interesting! See you! Siegfried

[@JohanSegeborn]

See you Siegfried!

[@Circadianarrhythmia]

Wow this is absolutely astounding!! Does he have a website or take mod commissions?

[@Circadianarrhythmia]

@@aleksik4028 wow who would have truly thought about that? Surely it could not be that I was asking for general information from someone who has interacted with the builder. /s

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks! Tommy’s actually retired. He looks younger than he is. But I’ll ask him how to contact him.

[@Circadianarrhythmia]

@@JohanSegeborn thank you very much!

[@averyadrian1534]

Any links to the mod? I’d love to do this to one of these apps.

[@cgavin1]

Wonderful tone! Must have been a challenge to perform with the maestro sat staring at you like a French Bulldog sizing up a cuddly toy. 😁 Edit: 5:54 was particularly beautiful sir! Edit edit: I enjoyed the technical stuff a lot!

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks! With Tommy you feel he has the patience and genuinely wishes you to do well, so I had a great time playing. Tommy has mentored many people in the Swedish music Industry.

[@infectionsman]

Talk about responsive tone stack!

[@Voodoo66Chile]

Well fk me, this is one of the best sounding tones on your channel! This amp mod is nothing short of amazing! I'm planning to pick up a new amp soon and now I have another route to consider 😄

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks, great to hear that!

[@russelw.6288]

what exact mods are done? How much would that be. Sounds absolute fantastic. In case my Wife is reading, i‘m asking for anfriend

[@jakewilliams3585]

This amp would sell faster than he could build them

[@matthewgolke865]

I use a windsor regularly live with very good results but I would have to think Peavey would have created an instant classic if they went a bit further with the circuit design as shown by all the mods out there. In essence the Windsor is a jcm800 clone. I believe their basic circuit layout had more to do with patents than cost as it was a printed circuit made in China.

[@krauz111]

have you tried the new PRS amp series insipired in Hendrix? PRS HDRX 20 ?

[@jessebreakspear6656]

Well you learn something new every day negative feedback can be specific to the preamp or power amp. maybe my dream amp is possible where the clean channel is bright and chime-ey like an AC30 and the dirt channel is more modern like a Soldano or a Jose moded plexi

[@pedrosenamelo9881]

Jesus, 2:27 this tone! 🔥

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks Pedro!

[@jaycee30865]

Yes.

[@KyleTheGuitarGuy]

Are there any details on what specifically was done for the mod? I have a Peavey Windsor that was modded before I purchased it so am curious to what's all been done. Because I definitely can't get mine to sound this fucking good XD EDIT: Maybe I should have watched the video all the way through first before commenting

[@JohanSegeborn]

Tommy’s outlining some of it in the video

[@darwinsaye]

To be fair, the lipstick pickups in that Strat would be a big factor in why the tone has so much chime. As glassy as Strat pickups are, lipsticks are even more so.

[@JohanSegeborn]

Yeah they’re really sparkly

[@Dustiehippo]

is there somewhere I can find this mod?

[@brozio77]

this amp was not half bad also stock but now it's a monster 😀

[@jeffshockey9456]

What lipstick pickups are in that strat

[@jamiegustkey2573]

Yep... Just as you said it would be... The clean hendrix is 📌🔨'ed And then of course… There’s all the other tones…. 💧💧💧 👏🏻

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks Jamie! I’m glad you like it

[@jonwanrocks]

when i was like 18 i had a peavey windsor and it NEVER sounded this cool

[@zajefajnylogin]

What do you think about IK Multimedia Tonex?

[@voxpathfinder15r]

So if your amplifier has a plate driven tonestack, you won’t get nice compression in the preamp?

[@JohanSegeborn]

I’ve never AB tested that actually

[@voxpathfinder15r]

@@JohanSegeborn I know a silver jubilee has a plate driven tonestack, but it has clipping diodes in a previous gain stage that probably already gives the circuit a sort of compression.

[@Banjoandguns]

I had a Windsor it was way loud for 380$ shipped. Sounded nothing like this amp. I remember changing a couple tubes to make it quieter and more able to break up at lower volume. It wouldn’t breakup under 8 and if I recall it would at about 4 with the mod.

[@JohanSegeborn]

Yeah Tommy basically rebuilt the entire preamp on this unit

[@jeffgerek6180]

I own a windsor killer of an amp they will never get approval because of the low price.

[@VanishedPNW]

Mike McCready found it once as well... I think he played "lead better" than Jimi. Heh.

[@nandakumarkulandaivelu8967]

Dear Johan Good Day..Pl Reason out//Why..Columns OR combination speakers are not used in Guitar amps..Technically not approved..Any one Tried..A tweetter ..A Mid ..and An 8 0r 10 inch..in a Box..Thank you ..DrNanda..India
