Hendrix rigs needed !!

Quote from Doux

Hi again,

I try to build another Hendrix sound this evening.
It's not finish, but I think it's a good starting point for Axis Bold as love clean songs tone.

It sounds excellent...great playing as well!

Hi,

Thanks ! I try to do my best.

Anyway, it's done, I've just post both profiles on the Official Kemper Exchange site :

-> the Blues tone is named : Hendrix blues Blackf
-> the Little Wing tone approach is named : Hendrix Little Wing

Hope you will enjoy with them.

Doux Hi, thank you so much! And good luck in finding the sound, keep you good at?

That Bassman has been on the Rig Exchange since February 2012.

It will be be interesting to look at the tweaks

Thanks,

Yes, I didn't create the amp profiles, there are both from factory preset on the Kemper or Rig exchange community.

Regarding the tweaks, I play with the EQ on the stack module (B/M/T/P (more for all), the volume (less), the gain (less)) and on the amp side with the definition (less), the pick (more) and put a slow rotary on the effects module.
So nothing magical...I just made my own kitchen for my gears !

I'm not totally satisfied with the Little Wing, I will work on more soon.

Thanks Doux!

what a sleeping gem we had for a long time, but anayway the hendrix blues rig is a superb work.
well done, and thanks for sharing. it sounds incredibly "in the face". thumbs up +1000

Hi

I'm glad so many people like it ! that's demonstrate that my effort and work were benefit.

I worked again on a new "Little Wing" rig today and choose another point for starting tweaking.

The amp is the same as yesterday (Bassman from Factory preset), but I also tweak the Cabinet and the EQ + the Amp gain in another way.
...and I use a different strat' (a Fender 64' with different pickups : always Sliders Pickups but not 68', some 64' spec' ones).

My ears are tired this evening...I need to sleep!

If you like it, I will share it.

this Fender Blackface was profiled in Nashville with a Telefunken CU-29 mic

What's the factory name of this Profile?

Thanks Doux ... great rigs!

Cheers,

Hello Waraba,

Yes you're right, Je suis du côté de Versailles.
Sympa de retrouver des passionnés d'une même région sur un forum international!

Regarding my last tweak done on the Little Wing rig, I prefer the global result of this last rig, but I need to work more on it.
There is something more "un je ne sais quoi" on the high ends, that I would like to find and put in the sound...something more "Clangy" and less 'Twangy"...I don't know if it's clear (as it's difficult to describe), but my ears told me to search again this "magical" creamy "Clang" on the high notes.

I will try others combinations, with cabinets etc and/or settings.
For the last test, the Fender strat 64' has all knobs between 8-9.

humm...I really love Little Wing sound on the studio version...if I can reach to be near of it, it will be wonderful!

Very big challenge !

Thanks Jason, you're welcome !

I think I will try to build others Hendrix rigs...maybe another one of my favorite : "The Wind cries Mary".

Hey, Kemper early adopters - did "Blackface Bass Dimed" previously have a name including the word "Visage"? Was there previously a "Black Visage" profile?

Current Factory Profile:
Rig Name:
Blackface Bass Dimed
Fender Bassman Blackface
Generic 2*12 w/ Celestion G12-T 75s
Telefunken CU-29

February 2012 Rig Exchange:
DP 64 Bassman
Black Visage Bass
Black Visage Bass
(One of DP's tweaked factory rigs?)

This thread from January 2012 describes a "Black Visage" Factory Profile -
Blind test KPA QSC 2xK12 vs Hughes and Kettner Duotone valve amp

Hello,

I spent some time today to build another Hendrix rig of one of my favorite Hendrix clean tone : studio tone of Little Wing.
It's not perfect, but I found something "authentic" in it...something like vintage and pearl texture in the tone.
There are more "glaw" and "clow" than "twang" in the high frequencies.

I hope you will feel the vibe and enjoy :

Very nice! Care to share that rig?

Now we're getting somwhere's

Very close indeed.

Thank's Krok

hello,

Thanks for your comments.

I think I'm not allowed to share the rig as it has been built from a commercial one (Soundside.de).

I can tell my tweaks, if it can help :
-> I start with a base of a Fender Deluxe profile,
-> Stack module : Amp/EQ and Cab, on the definition, bias, character, pick etc,
-> Stomps module in front : add a Green stomp without gain but with tone tweak, an EQ and a subtle Slow Rotary,
-> Effects module : add another EQ, a Slow rotary (only used for the end of the test) and a subtle reverb

PS : I'm the same user named Doux (who post the first "Little Wing" tests), I used this new login as I have some problems with my first old account...sorry...
