Members FWAxeIbanez Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 I was just kinda thinkin about how everybody wants Jimi Hendrix's tone, and how to find it the other day after watching a DVD of him... He did sound pretty damn good, but it honestly sounded mainly to me that he wanted to sound loud... I'm sure he cared about his guitars and tested out plenty of marshalls and pedals and speakers and whatnot for his tone when it was time for fiddling around... but I really got the impression that it was supposed to be a giant wall of sound, and based more on delivery than sheer tone Seems like a lot of bands were like that... I think of Cream that way too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cloudnine Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 Well considering the limited amount of options and how limited gear was then, they didnt have much choice. But I think you're right AND wrong - Jimi probably just wanted to play, but he is notorious for being a perfectionist both in playing and the sound that went on the records and the effects he used.

Members pinkvoid Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 jimi was a tone freak. i know for a fact he used to record things dozens of times until he was satisfied with the end result. EDIT: he also engineered some parts of his amps. i read about it somewhere. If he was alive today, he would have received and honorary HCAF account.

Members -=MYK=- Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 Jimi was a drug addict. I don't think he had the ability to care about much more than his next high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FWAxeIbanez Posted July 2, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 Totally right about the options... thats still something I can't quite relate to that time period, I'm used to so many choices. But I gotta say it, I'm sure he was a tonefreak in the studio and in the offtime, but seriously, the man had 6 full stacks behind him. He sounded ridiculously loud on tape, the tone was in the sheer volume, sounded like they were gonna pop at any time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't this guy fly in out of nowhere when ever somebody mentions playing really loud? at least it'd get back on topic and I gotta say, MYK is the same now as he's ever been to me... If anybody is intentionally getting peoples goats lately, its Bob Savage... have you noticed, the caustic sarcasm lately is not completely usual Not tryin to start anything, Bob's great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
