The Pedals Jimi Hendrix Used At WOODSTOCK 1969

[@JDStone20]

it really amazes me how far ahead of everything Jimi Hendrix was, no one has surpassed his sound or playing yet, absolutely amazing

[@dude_crush_]

Yeah I know right!

[@JDStone20]

@dv8322 Nowhere close to surpassing Hendrix. EVH was awesome, don't get me wrong, and he innovated in amp hardware, guitar hardware, and technique, but a lot of his work was documented while the work Hendrix, Mayer and Kramer wasn't. EVH is right up there with Hendrix, but surpassing, that is a hard sell.

[@jfmax2000]

Yess... Just Magical ☺☺💯💖

[@Mrtn-gi6mp]

EVH didn’t play left handed psychedelic guitar music to tell us a musical story & send you on a tonal journey rush like JH always did ..

[@Mrtn-gi6mp]

You know who else is better than Evh??? Al De Meola , Ritchie Blackmore , hears 2more .. I go listen to their electric guitar playing style, your head will explode 🤯. I really like Evh but the variety of great guitarists out there are so overwhelming I wouldn’t stick to just one of them or you’ll miss out on what could’ve been for your listening enjoyment .. just saying

[@axesounds]

As a Jimi disciple your video is totally inspiring!

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks man! What can I say, Jimi is "The Guy"

[@samr4y518]

that little cover of izabella was something else, great playing man

[@robinsearles5771]

A helluva vibe pedal!!! Great demo! 🎉

[@rosielias]

Congratulations, please keep your videos up. They are simple and direct, their tone is excellent with factory stuff. Sabbadius is the best.

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks! Yeah, I'm just playing through stuff that's available on the market. Some items are on the pricey side like the Funky Vibe, but being a fan of Hendrix and "THE SOUND", I can totally justify the price. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. There's more to come and another Hendrix video featuring some upgrades on the Hendrix Inspired Pedalboard.

[@Billvis77]

Wow sounds great and thanks for the demo....grew up a huge Hendrix fan and played it back in the 80's with the real pedals when originals weren't so valuable.....now, wowza! Univibes for 4K! Who knew I had three of them at one time! Keep groovin.....

In the maui rainbow bridge show, notice his guitar lead is going into univibe first, ive been doing this for decades, no one has picked it up, it sound awsome.

[@3rdtonefromthesun]

Hey so the BoG fuzz and Woodstock Fuzz aren’t the same thing with the earlier variations of Roger’s Fuzzes we’re the Axis using 2 transistors but in a PNP & NPN configuration, later on I understand it went to a 3 transistor circuit which had considerably more output. Roger Mayer derived this circuit from the Helios mic preamp console. Further developments from this circuit topology would result in the Octavio. Jimi was using it for quite some time but the last appearance of it in his rig was at those Fillmore East shows. On the Cry of Love tour up until his death he had stock Silicon Fuzz Faces, which of course you can hear the wild oscilliation when used with a wah and the radio signals being picked up. It's likely the case he used those Fuzzes as they'd have probably been straight off the shelf and Roger was on to other things and working mostly with other musicians by 1970 so perhaps Jimi didn't want to risk bringing the BoG fuzz and Octavio on a European tour. The Woodstock fuzz however remains under speculation, it is reputed to have been developed by Dave Weyer of West Coast Amp Co. It’s 3-transistor all PNP fuzz that is always on and features 2-gain stages. To my ears it sounds absolutely spot on.

[@totc6196]

Great info any way we could get a schematic of the Woodstock variation ?

[@3rdtonefromthesun]

@@totc6196 Well there’s further to the story than it seems… There has been a recent emergence of a ‘West Coast Fuzz’ which uses Germanium transistors… The circuit was developed by Dave Weyer, it is not similar to the Dunlop BoG fuzz that Dunlop as that unit uses silicon transistors with the PNP/NPN/PNP setup. Either way the WCF is used by the likes of Randy Hansen and Eric Julijan.

[@jive_chen]

Man I love this soooo much! And how the hell do you keep the noise floor that low even when all pedals are engaged? My amp will kill all my neighbors if I stack a fuzz face into the edge of breakup channel LOL.

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks man! Lol I either roll the volume down on the guitar or I just disengage the fuzz when I'm not playing. Otherwise, yeah there's crazy feedback 😜

What's a good alternative for the sabbadius‬ ​Funky Vibe? They're very hard to find (and expensive). Great playing.

Man I wish I could play like you! How do you like the red bog fuzz vs a silicon of germanium fuzz face?

Thanks! I appreciate that. Just keep practicing. Play along to Jimi's music, even if you think you suck. We all start somewhere. I did a video comparing the two Fuzz pedals, go to my channel and check it out 😁

[@JDStone20]

@@dude_crush_ hahahaha, I just remembered because of your comment that I had watched that video and commented on it, along with chatting to you about the two different fuzz pedals, LOL!!! I had a couple of TBI's, (not super seriously bad) and it messed up my memory, so I do goofy things like forgetting I already talked to you about the fuzz pedals, LOL!

[@JDStone20]

@@dude_crush_ Thank you for the advice and encouragement. In 2008 I cut 3 fingers on my fret hand in an accident, and on my index finger I severed a tendon, so I lost movement control of the first segment of my index finger, but I really couldn't play anymore due to the pain and loss of strength in my fret hand, which sucked because I had just been playing long enough (1-2 years) were playing wasn't laborious, and I had built up my callouses on my fret hand. I started lock picking/locksport a few years ago, and that built up the strength in my fret hand and the pain was pretty much gone, so come summer of 2022 I could start playing again. I took a year and played nothing but Hendrix's Purple Haze, which is my favorite song, both of Hendrix's and all-time of any song. I almost have the solo down, I have been learning that for a few weeks. But playing Purple Haze continuously for a year turned my playing from choppy, phrase-by-phrase playing, to smooth, actually sound like a sound and is musical, so I am very happy right now. Also for my 50th birthday, my family got me a Boss Katana Air, which was awesome, since I am a Boss/Roland fanboi.

[@gokusgames]

Thanks for the demo. Btw, Did he not turn on also the fuzz on izabella with lowered guitar volume or something? i'm trying to get the sound, and it sounded pretty rough. i studied the whole song from woodstock note for note you can check my channel for the tabs if you're interested, I will upload a cover soon

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks. Yeah, he probably did have the fuzz on with the volume rolled back. I listened to the track yesterday and I did notice his guitar wasn't really clean at all. In the video, I just felt like playing it because I love playing that riff with the Uni-Vibe, even if it's with a clean tone.

[@gokusgames]

Yeah I know, it sounds good@@dude_crush_

[@kennethhoneycutt4513]

That's so funny. I built a guitar that looks just like that. What's up slanded bridge? Pick up facing the other same color scheme and all I have that exact guitar almost.

[@augustusbetucius2931]

If I'm not mistaken, Hendrix ran the uni-vibe before his fuzz face. Am I mistaken about this?

[@dude_crush_]

If you look at the pictures from Woodstock (thumbnail pic), you can clearly see his guitar going straight into the wah, followed by the fuzz.

[@averyadrian1534]

You need a few 100 watt Marshall stacks cranked and then try to work with that level of volume and control that feedback…

[@dude_crush_]

You don't "need" a 100watt amp. You just need to turn up the volume to get that sweet feedback.

[@benjaminwoodrowmusic6070]

The wah behaves with that fuzz because the BOG fuzz face isn't a fuzz face lol....ive just got one again but my new vox wah still oscillates with my mini blue fuzz face

[@BobbyPerez-xj2ok]

Jimi was awesome playernobody comesclose

[@totc6196]

According to west coast amps his super leads were modified in a couple of ways utilising 6550 tubes.

[@joemess98036yahoo]

There is all the talk that the amps were biased almost to class b. That would result in a lott more output wattage, but a crappy clean

[@joemess98036yahoo]

That I am not hearing.

[@totc6196]

@@joemess98036yahoo well the west coast amp stickers are on the amps, what is your theory ? Crappy clean ? vox ac30? Reference kzbin.info/www/bejne/imeVgnmNlNmrrLsfeature=shared

[@spudwashington3880]

Do you feel like having a pedal for the univibe is necessary, just curious as a person that’s building a jimmy style pedal board myself .

[@dude_crush_]

If you want to nail the sound of the songs he used a Uni-Vibe in like Machine Gun and Izabella then yes. He used the Uni-Vibe on later recordings that were released after his death. But really, what is necessary is a Wah, a Fuzz Face, and an amp with EL34 Power Section. For me the 6L6 power section doesn't cut it. It's too thin sounding for me. The EL34 gives a nice bottom end in my honest opinion.

[@Harrowfication]

But were they true bypass?

[@ridgerover8347]

Is your wah stock or with mods? If so, which mods?

[@dude_crush_]

Stock. It's the VOX V847-A wah

[@peterhebert7192]

Well done. Superb sounds and overview. Wondering if there’s a difference between a crybaby wah and the vox. Thoughts?

[@dude_crush_]

Thanks! I've used the Crybaby Classic, which is TrueBypass. You have to place it after the fuzz for it to sound good when using it with the fuzz. Sound wise, I prefer the Vox. The Crybaby Classic sound good, but not as good as the Vox in my opinion.

[@alaindevos]

No morley Pedal ??

[@dude_crush_]

?

[@lorcazola]

Make sure Fuzz Face comes before the Wah.

[@dude_crush_]

Jimi ran his Wah first, so that's how I run it. It's doesn't always work with every wah, but it does with this one. This is the VOX V847-A wah, which has a buffer on the Output.

[@luismartinez6408]

And remember that the anthem was also supposed to sound like jets and guns.

[@dude_crush_]

Oh yeah it does!

[@Gimi.Endrics]

Do you really think Jimi played woodstock with a clean amp?

[@dude_crush_]

I never said he did, that's just the way I did it. Marshalls are actually pretty clean amps, but Jimi ran them so hot that he got natural distortion by Overdriving the Poweramps from it being so loud. I had the Gain and Volume at Max, while running the Power at 5 watts. If I ran my amp at 50 watts, I'd achieve the same natural distortion result, but I didn't feel like blowing out my ears lmao.

[@Gimi.Endrics]

@@dude_crush_ ok 👍🏻🙋🏻‍♂️

[@gatormcklusky5850]

Hendrix Used a no logo Vox picture wah at Woodstock he didn't use that BS wah people seem to think he used ,You can clearly see the wah with its identifying marks in pictures etc etc.. if you look hard enough.

[@dude_crush_]

Not sure what you mean by "no logo". If you see the Woodstock pictures/video, you can clearly see the Vox logo on the wah.

[@nuendo2496]

Now we all know how he achieved that terrible sharp glass in the ears tone…Yikes

[@dude_crush_]

😂 yeah, that wah can definitely be ear piercing

[@larryjackson6075]

When we were young we thought that what we heard was due to him. Now we realize that what we heard had nothing to do with him, and that anyone can get the same sound if they use the same gimmicks. "His" sounds was not really coming from him.

[@dude_crush_]

I can see that. However, he was the one who lit the fire and now he's an influence to every generation of guitar players that came after him.

[@peteraustin370]

Checkout Ernie Iseley incredible solo on " Who's that lady "....It's all there...But Hendrix got the ball rolling....funny how both Hendrix and Brian Setzer got absolutely nowhere in America...until they came to the UK...!!!!!

[@new.romance999]

Obviously

[@Gimi.Endrics]

His sounds come from him, there are a myriad of songs both in the studio and live which produces sounds and noises impossible to imitate without using pedals, in this case we are talking only about the uni-vibe which he turned on occasionally and the wah little stuff at I compare everything that now you obviously know very little about Jimi's music
