David Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 fender strats (usually 70's withteh big headstock) - right handed ones reversed and restrungvox wah dallas arbiter fuss faceunivibemayer octaviamarshall superleadsi think thats usually what he used, he did play about with other amps, but usually with the marshalls, and same goes for guitars, as he did use gibsons sometimesfor looking to recreate his sounds, for bedroom playing the digitech hendrix looks decent, with a load of hendrixey sounds, for a more 'pro' setup, the foxrox captain coconut is a great pedal, with the main effects in one box (vibe/fuzz/octave) add that to a strat and marshall and away you go (with the possible niclusion of a wah pedal too)David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of Swords Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 I'd advise against buying a muti-effects pedal. Never heard one (ranging from cheap to expensive) that I thought was worth the money. I think buying individual pedals is a better way to go because they're specifically designed for one thing and don't have to compromise the technology to increase the range of sounds whilst keeing the price down (which I'm sure is the problem with a lot of multi-effects units).In any case, Hedrix only used the fuzz face because you couldn't get a lot of gain with the old Marshalls. You're far better off buying a good modern Marshall (TSL is my favourite) and not trying to sound exactly like Hendrix because the best thing you'll ever get is people comparing you to Hendrix (which let's face it, is a lot to live up to). I believe the Vox Wah is good though, never used one but I've heard it rivals the Cry Baby (which I swear by). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight of Swords Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Think they ditched the spaghetti logo before the 70s, but they get called 70s Strats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gasss Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Jimi played "transition" era early CBS strats. The early ones still have the small headstock outline. The later ones have the large ones. Neither suffer from any of the fundamental changes (3 bolt neck, random contour carving, poor quality control) that afflict the 70s strats. They came later.
