im using a fender champion 600 (5 watt amp, fits perfectly for my needs), this amp has no euqlizer knobs.. so i bought a boss eq-7 but it doesnt sound really good IMO.

guitar -> vox wah -> Bad Monkey tube OD - > Fuzzface -> EQ-7 -> champ 600


what cani do with this?

wich guitar?

but your setup dosnt sound bad to me

You will never get a hendrix tone out of a practise amp lol. Hendrix is a hard tone to go for tbh..... he switches pickups, adjusts tone and uses wah so often that his sound changes throughout most songs xD


To sound like Jimi Hendrix, change the settings on your amp to this:
Gain - 5
Bass - 5
Mid/Contour - 6
Treble - 7
Reverb - 0.5

That will get you on your way.

jimi hendrix cranked his settings pretty close to full on his amp, but i think that set up would get you closer to SRV tones...Fender, Tube Screamer, Fuzz Face was his go-to setup. Hendrix used britishy higher gained amps (marshalls), and I don't think he used an OD pedal

you'll have to fiddle with your volume knob constantly to sound right too

you can try putting it after your fuzz face, cranking your amp, and then putting a dB boost on the bass, a dB cut on the mids, and a boost on the highs

never really messed with an EQ pedal before though

i'm assuming each band is a different range of frequencies. if that's the case, you'll want to make a sort of v-shaped curve with your bass/highs a little above the threshold line, and your mids a little below. he always had thick, thick bass, but the treble cut through nicely, and it didn't sound too muddled by mids unless he was on his darker (neck) pickup.

Also, since you have a tiny fender, you probably won't be able to reproduce the bass very well, but you can try making your curve a little lopsided and throwing a bigger bass boost in there.

whats a tiny fender? what else should i use?

your amp is tiny and made by fender

it's got like a 6 inch speaker; you're trying to mimic bass produced by 8-24 12" speakers

oh yeah i see... so this might be why when i crank the bass up on the eq-7 it just cant take it
