My Jimi Hendrix Inspired Pedalboard

Rundown of the Pedalboard
Disclaimer: I am not Jimi Hendrix. I do admire the man and he has been a huge influence. I put this Pedalboard together so I can get more into his "Live Workspace". He did a lot with so little and it's fascinating to see and hear how he used his tools.
The Pedal Order is set to Jimi's famous Live Performance on January 1st, 1970 with the Band Of Gypsys. If you look up the picture of the thumbnail online, you can clearly see it goes Guitar - Wah - Octavio - UniVibe - Amp
Guitar: Fender Strat USA Professional with Seymour Duncan "Voodoo Style" Pre-wired Pickguard and Floyd Rose Railtail Tremolo Bridge
Amp: EVH 5150 III EL34 50w 2x12 Combo, Channel 1, Reverb On

I feel like Jimi's board is like a basic collection of herbs and spices to to create perfect musical meal

[@dude_crush_]

Definitely. Some of the best dishes don't need a lot of ingredients.

[@Ppuffdiddleydangdoof]

This video is like going to a candy store and tasting all your favorite candies. As a lifelong Hendrix fan, and guitar player, you have nailed Jimi's tones beyond anything I thought possible. And don't sell yourself short. You play Jimi's songs like you own them. And you give a tutorial on how to get the tone for all our favorites. Thank you and respect.

[@dude_crush_]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I really appreciate the compliment 🙏🏻

[@REM1956]

I agree Dude's in the Hendrix groove.

[@bumblefritz]

The Funky Vibes are truly unbelievable. I own a '68 Tiny Vibe and I finally have THAT sound. Every model is so cool in their own way!

[@dude_crush_]

I agree! I also have the 69 and I plan on eventually getting the Tiny Vibe 68.

[@cliffords2315]

Yea pretty close to the original Univox Uni-Vibe, I have the MXR Uni-Vibe, sounds pretty close, but not as good as the Funky Vibe.

[@Rocco_Renzetti]

This is BY FAR the most authentic sounding demonstration of how to achieve Hendrix’s tone. Pretty incredible! Bravo.

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks! 👏🏻

[@DARKSIDEOFURANUS]

Out of all the KZbin Hendrix channels this could be the most authentic channeling

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks! I really appreciate that. Hendrix has definitely been one of my biggest influences on the guitar.

[@SuperCrazylegs26]

Millstap is that guy when it comes to jimi’s tone and playing in a lot of ways, this is definitely a great demonstration as well

[@moreorlesslikeso]

Like you said: "He did a lot with so little" - and with these pedals you nail the sound perfectly! Thanks a lot for demonstrating it really works - not to forget: your playing, which is dead on as well, certainly helps!

[@dude_crush_]

Thank you! I really appreciate that 🙏🏻

[@howardpoulin23]

Great Job! I’m 60 years old and was practicing Hendrix when I was 15. Great music is timeless. Keep practicing . Sounds really cool.

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks! 🤘🏻🎸

[@space_kat1]

dude you really nailed that jimi hendrix tone! thats amazing! and you also play really great! a lot of people like to downplay Strats, but to be able to truly master one is a hard deed! JH, along with Ritchie Blackmore and SRV, was one of the few guys that were able to make the most out of a Strat, his sound was just SO good!

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks man! I really appreciate that! I've always played a Strat. It's the guitar I learned on. I always feel very comfortable playing a Strat.

[@volvo9051]

Rory Gallagher too!

[@joanarling]

I somewhat debated myself whether to watch your vid at all. Then I took a look at your pedalboard and thought "No way." Then I listened... Man! I couldn't have been more wrong. Congrats! You not only nailed the sound, but also the feeling. I think, Jimi would have applauded, too.

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks, I really appreciate that! 🙏🏻

[@blackgold7416]

Wow! Thanks so much for sharing! ❤ 😎

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

I could listen to that for hours. Great playing, man. Imagine what Jimi could have done with that rig.

[@laurentperez5229]

He used better stuff than this rig, so…

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Debatable. Those pedals were in their developmental infancy when Jimi was playing them. Quite often Jimi wasn't happy with his sound. Plenty of teething problems.@@laurentperez5229

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks! Yeah, that's where I tried to put my head space at. He did wonders!

[@PabloMars99]

Absolutely glorious

[@billytheballer2844]

Dude this was a lot of fun to watch. Your playing is great and the gear is sick

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks dude! Yeah, it's so much fun to play through this setup! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 🤘🏻

[@Dolores5000]

So fantastic how Jimi discovered the secret so long ago and this a beautiful tribute great work

[@dude_crush_]

Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@maximusindicusoblivious180]

Great playing and great demo. You were right to pay homage to the man and to the technique. Jimi's heart and soul was about love and freedom.

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks, I really appreciate it 🙏🏻

[@Kennedy_Young]

It's a kinda crazy to think that Jimi was only starting with his art. Unfortunately we can't even imagine what he would make along the 70's with others pedals... thank God we had the great SRV

[@gregmize01]

Your playing is fantastic! That board is perfect! 🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks! I really appreciate it 🙏🏻

[@bigdaddystinkeye]

Thanks for the inspiration. I'm currently working on a very similar board for Hendrix/Trower inspired tones using a looper to split or add separate compression/overdrive and boost for straight ahead Strat/Tele tones. I turn 70 this year. Keep having fun and rocking out.

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks! That's awesome! 🤘🏻🎸

[@vanessajazp6341]

I've got an old Vox 847 from the mid-nineties. It only runs on batteries. But man, that filter sweep is INTENSE!

[@dude_crush_]

Nice. Yeah, especially in the higher register. It can be pretty Ear Piercing 😎

[@fredderf6208]

Hey, for that cleanup, try going straight into the fuzz. Crank the fuzz and back off to 5 on the guitar volume. Pete Thorn did a video on it. The germanium fuzz has an impedance mismatch with the vintage pickups which gives a really nice Jimmy thing.

[@dude_crush_]

Cool, I'll definitely have to give that a try.

[@vandermaas76]

Thats pretty amazing playing and tone !

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks man! I really appreciate that 🙏🏻

[@Kubidik]

Glad I clicked the video! Awesome playing & rig man! Cheers 🤟🏼😎

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks! 🤘🏻🎸

[@ManiDProductions]

absolutely beautiful

[@3rdtonefromthesun]

Wonderful tones there, great fan of that Funky Vibe!

[@DirkWeag]

I was reading Rudolf Herfurtner's book "Brennende Gitarre" three times , but when he talks about Hendrix and his effects he was only able to mention flanger, phaser, fuzz and the famous wah wah pedal, but with only this informations it was hard for me to create any Hendrix sound. In the end I play a crunchy blues sound out of a Marshall amp without any effects by using a Power Strat-like HSH guitar working on a Paul Kossoff alike vibrato :-)

[@dude_crush_]

That's cool. I know Hendrix used Panning, Phaser or/and Flanger sounds in the Studio, but not live. I'm not sure the technology existed to pull off those sounds live. Either way, Hendrix's live performances were still incredible. All he needed was his guitar a Wah, Fuzz, Uni-Vibe, and Marshall Stack

[@joeblankenship377]

I use a crybaby, Danelectro chicken salad vibe, and a tube screamer. That chicken salad is not bad if you're on a "jammin at home" budget. I still need to get me an octave pedal. Those sounds are so gnarly.

[@wisewolf777]

Great sounds! Great playing! Authentic Hendrix tm 😜

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks! I appreciate that 😁

[@peteraustin370]

Great sound..!!..I use my Voodoo vibe +..bought it back in 95..brilliant pedal esp with foot control in..!!...Roger Mayer who worked with Hendrix also said a good valve amp turned on flat out was part of the magic...when they get hot then various peculiar sounds are available..which can't be had from a transistor type amp..!!!..Trouble is nowadays very few venues want or allow those volumes..!!!..Been told to cool the volume myself a few times at venues..!!!.. The Voodoo Vibe + is expensive but worth every penny for sounds and control ability...built like a tank..the low end throb at slow speed on Chorus is a revelation...!!!!!

[@dude_crush_]

Nice! I didn't know about that pedal until recently. You definitely have some gold in your hands with that pedal. 😛

[@BasVossen]

use a power soak

[@MoniMariposaDeLuz]

Sounds that make my soul happy!

[@dude_crush_]

❤

[@martinkingston1498]

Really nice demo, and very nice playing too! You have managed to get a very authentic Hendrix sound with this set up. You can't really go wrong with vintage single coil pickups, they have so much personality when compared to their rather sterile noiseless modern cousins. When combined with the proper old analog pedals, and played through a nice valve amp, they always create a very warm organic sound that is unmistakeable, and which has those beautiful harmonic overtones that are so pleasing to the ear. Imho that is where the magic lies, and why digital effects cannot reproduce those tones. Anyway, enough rambling. Brilliant demo, and very enjoyable playing.

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks a lot! I appreciate the kind words. Yeah, for Hendrix, you need the noisy pickups. It's what he had back then. Noiseless pickups are good too, but it's all context. My Red Strat has Dimarzio Noiseless pickups for more modern sensibilities, but my white hendrix strat has the noisy pickups.

[@christiantaylor4027]

That was great. Made my morning. Really sounds like the man. Lotta luv man. Glad u played the beauty too. Some just play the agro part. Thanks

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it 🙏🏻

[@doubled5383]

It’s amazing. I have fuzz, Octavia, univibe and wah and I could put in in 3 different signal chains and like it!

[@dude_crush_]

Nice, that's really cool!

[@alchemysticgoldmind4164]

He changed the world with these simple tools..No Midi,no Pro tools, no auto tune, No Apple Mac's, Tuner apps..yada yada yada.. in just 4 years of a recording career he destroyed and recreated the world...Peace to the Avatar of the All ..James Marshall Hendrix

[@markkempster7367]

Well bang goes the idea idea that the fuzzface must go first in the chain. Epic sounds, lovely playing. Im jealous of that funk vibe!

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks! This wah (VOX V847-A) has a Buffer on the Output jack, which is why it works well 1st. I've tried a TrueBypass wah and it works better after the fuzz.

[@5150show]

So,good , had to sub , cheers from New Zealand

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks for the sub! I'm glad you liked the video 🙏🏻

Magnificent sound

[@christophergerry4726]

the pedals sound great, part of what smoothens and tightens up alot of his sounds though is not picking sooo hard all the time, dynamics my friend, he didnt pick hard constantly

wish i had one! great rig

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks! Eventually, I plan on getting the PRS HDRX 20 Head with matching Cab.

[@kablaamjam8089]

Could you do a recreation of Jimi's sound using only pedals under $100, please? Not everyone has a big budget. That would be really nice.

[@dude_crush_]

I only do videos with pedals I already own.

[@archstanton3763]

Had he lived, I believe Jimi would have had a much larger pedalboard. Keep in mind that a lot of pedals weren't even invented until after he died!

[@Johny_John_]

4 pedals is enough to sounds like Jimi, but the feeling is also important 🙇🏻‍♂️

[@dude_crush_]

Definitely!

[@WeekendWarriorGuitars]

Also...forgot to mention, that uni-vibe you have sounds unreal...best sounding vibe I've heard. Do you listen to Robin Trower too? He's another prolific uni-vibe user and great player of course.

[@dude_crush_]

Yeah, this is definitely my favorite Uni-Vibe! Yeah, Robin Trower is great, but whenever I hear him with Uni-Vibe, I can't help but hear Jimi. I guess it's because Jimi was the first person I heard play with Uni-Vibe and I mostly associate the effect with him.

[@WeekendWarriorGuitars]

For sure, I can dig that@@dude_crush_

Need the echo plex get that nasty delay that’s on the verse of purple haze

[@dude_crush_]

I've got that "covered" with a pedalboard update that's in the works. Go to my channel and scroll to the Community section. I made a post about this regarding what you're talking about.

[@projectmoon13]

It’s like the SRV version of a Hendrix board. A little cleaner. Try and find these pieces vintage for the real effect. Also a 100 watt Marshall wouldn’t hurt. But this is ear and eye candy for sure.

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks! Eventually, I plan on getting the PRS HDRX 20 amp with matching cab.

[@marcelodonati]

WOW!!!!!

[@KRSinDUB]

Great pedalboard and nice playing man. Quick question, are you often using the Sabbadius pedal to control the speed of the univibe? I am hesitating because it is a pricey pedal for what it is. Do you think it is possible to plug another expression pedal? I am thinking buying the Fillmore east edition ;)

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks! I don't use the Expression often, but it is nice to have for when I do want to change the speed on the fly. I'm not sure on hooking up another Expression because there are different Expression pedals that Sabbadius makes for the different Funky Vibes there are. I know that the Woodstock Expression will also work with the Maui and 1968 Funky Vibe. It has something to do with the potentiometer inside which is 250K. The Expression for the 1969 Funky Vibe uses a 100k pot.

[@KRSinDUB]

@@dude_crush_ thanks

[@xderiwx]

This was awesome. Great playing and tones! Can’t believe that’s coming out of a 5153. What are you using for strings and picks?

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks! Yeah, the EL34 version. I'm currently using the Ernie Ball Hybrid pack, which is the highs of the 9s and the lows of the 10s. Picks = Dunlop TORTEX III Jazz Tip 1.0mm

[@jaimeramirezsolano685]

Sounds great!! Could you please shared your pedal chain order?

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks! Yeah it goes: Guitar -> Wah -> Octavio -> Fuzz Face -> UniVibe -> Amp Input It's how Jimi had it during Band Of Gypsys

[@Japan-oz3ed]

Good tone!

[@dude_crush_]

Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@micahwatz1148]

It would be cool to make a hendrix board one day.

[@dude_crush_]

I've been wanting to do this for years! The Uni-Vibe was the biggest investment. But yeah, 4 pedals and you're good to go.

[@JONNIE_ROCKER]

Good video, I’ll sub

[@fredkay9001]

Great video! Where did you get your expression panel for your funky vibe? How much did you pay for that? That's an expression pedal that is specially made for a funky vibe?

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks! Yes, it's made specifically for this Edition of the Funky Vibe. I ordered it Directly from @Sabbadius . If you're interested in one, send Nico a message on Instagram, he'd be more than happy to help you out. The Expression pedal is specific to the Funky Vibe version you have, so you'll need to let him know which one it's for. He can also make one for an Original Uni-Vibe.

[@mattdelany6799]

Now you need 3 full Marshall stacks. $34,000. Then become a black man. Add 10,000 hours of small club gigs. Then be Jimi Hendrix. There you have it.

[@carlygtr554]

Sounds great! Where did you get the Funky Vibe foot-control?

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks! I ordered it directly from Sabbadius via Instagram. Send Nico a message on Instagram and let him know which funky vibe you plan on using the foot controller with. This one works with the Woodstock, Maui, and 68 editions.

What’s the Hendrix tune at 10:01? Super familiar sounding but can’t put a name to it

[@dude_crush_]

It's a piece of music inspired by the song "Have You Ever Been (To Electric Ladyland)" off of the Electric Ladyland album.

[@bweeks8869]

What is the song when you clicked on the Univibe?

[@dude_crush_]

Izabella, "live at Woodstock "

[@LALtd001]

Just curious; how do you deal with RFI? I have a Funky Vibe Maui and I’m always picking some stray signal with it on.

[@dude_crush_]

It doesn't bother me. Honestly, I only have the Uni-Vibe effect On when I play. Otherwise, I just press the Cancel switch and leave the Preamp On.

[@JimiHendrixEX]

Its sound really realistic wben you play a national anthem

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks! That's because of the Sabbadius Funky Vibe Woodstock. I also have the 69 Edition, but the Woodstock definitely nails the Hendrix at Woodstock sound.

[@JimiHendrixEX]

What gear you use to record sound ?

[@peterstern6695]

Warum musst du so einen Sound haben wie Hendrix???

[@dude_crush_]

It's probably because he's been one of my biggest influences growing up playing the electric guitar. His sound is so mesmerizing. I still get blown away with his performance on the Band of Gypsys Album. The solo on Machine Gun never gets old. That night he was channeling something divine. His performances are spontaneous and unique, which is what made his sound so mesmerizing.

[@Fotosaurus56]

Have you tried a Flying V through your rig ala Rainbow Bridge?

[@dude_crush_]

No I haven't. One day though for sure and a White Triple Humbucker SG Les Paul Custom 😁

[@kennethhoneycutt4513]

Man, I have to ask, are you running an attenuator?

[@dude_crush_]

No I am not, but the amp I'm using technically has one built-in. I'm using the Clean Channel on the EVH 5150 III EL34 50w 2x12 Combo which has a Power Level knob, which lets you adjust the wattage. Here it's at 7.5watts. Eventually, I plan on getting a PRS HDRX 20 along with a Tone King Ironman II 100-watt Reactive Power Attenuator.

[@giulioluzzardi7632]

That pedal-board will last 2 life-times, simple settups are the way forward for electric Guitar players, more playing time less tweeking time= music.

[@dude_crush_]

Yes!!!! With this board, I've found myself focusing more on playing for sure.

[@spitpermit]

the Fuzzface should be ahead of the MXR nonsense...

[@dude_crush_]

Jimi had the Octavia, in this case Octavio, before the Fuzz Face during the Band Of Gypsys performances January 1st, 1970.
