Re: Hendrix Flying V

I have the Jimi hendrix: the D*ck Cavett show dvd. He plays a SC with 3 humbuckers in it. different tone than one would expect out of hendrix, but cool nonetheless.

What's an SC?

What is it about European transistors that can't be duplicated anywhere else?

Re: Hendrix Flying V

he meant gibson SG


but im pickin up a Fulltone 70.....im not looking to nail jimis tone, but i just want a fuzz that is not overly grainy (warm) and with TONs of sustain......and also a little versatility...........so i think the 70' pedal is right for me, plus i really dig the soundclips ive heard

Re: Hendrix Flying V

The '70 sounds great with humbuckers. Its kinda tweaky at first. I set mine with the internal trimmer just a little counter-clockwise, and with the volume @ 2, mids @ 3, and fuzz @ about 4. Experiment with it, and be patient. Its worth the time.

Re: Hendrix Flying V

what about with single coils? i would be using it with humbuckers also, but primarily my strat.....and into an ole twin reverb

Re: Hendrix Flying V

It does well with those also. The Fulltone mp3 is his strat > '70 > 100 watt plexi Marshall. He mentioned to me that is was really loud and bassy. I think I like it with humbuckers because its really tight sounding, not a lot of muddiness at all, and the neck tone is to die for.

Actually, I think the tone with humbuckers might be in the EJ zone, now that I think about it. After all, the '70 was based on one of EJ's boxes.
