How it works

  • AMPThe Black Twin model captures the sparkling top-end chime and dynamic scooped midrange of Hendrix's Blackface Fender amps.
  • AMPSetting the amp Volume to 42 gives your low-output Strat pickups crystal-clear cleans when picking lightly and sweet tube bloom when digging into double-stops.
  • FX1The post-amp Rotary model emulates the studio Leslie 145 speaker cabinet, adding three-dimensional swirl around the chords.
  • FX2Spring reverb adds classic vintage studio dimension without washing out intricate chord melody embellishments.

Intro & Chords

  2. 2Volume 8.5
  3. 3Tone 9

Backing off the volume slightly keeps the tone sweet, woody, and glassy for thumb-over chord voicings.

Solo

Pushing Volume to 10 provides extra sustain and harmonic warmth for single-note lines and fills.

The original rig

Jimi Hendrix achieves his signature tone on Little Wing with a Stratocaster neck pickup played through a clean-to-edge-of-breakup Fender amplifier, controlling dynamics via the guitar volume knob and coloring the track with studio Leslie rotary processing and tape slapback.

Jimi Hendrix (Rhythm and solo): 1963/1964 Fender Stratocaster, Fender Twin Reverb / Vibroverb, Fender 2x12 / 2x10 Built-in Cabinet, Leslie Rotary Speaker, Ampex Tape Echo

Playing it

  • Hook your fretting-hand thumb over the top of the neck to hold bass roots while keeping fingers free for hammer-on and pull-off flourishes.
  • Pick with a loose, relaxed wrist; strike the low notes softly and let the higher double-stops pop with bell-like snap.
  • Leave gentle pauses between phrases to let the rotary swirl and spring reverb trail breathe naturally.
