JHE Manual v4.1 9/19/05 3:12 PM Page 3 Congratulations and special thanks from D i g i Te c h ® for choosing the Jimi Hendrix Experi e n c e ™ A rtist Series Pe d a l. DigiTech’s philosophy for developing products begins with the desire to provide every guitarist with the best-sounding, most creative tools possible. To this end, our revolutionary Production Modeling™ was designed to help reproduce the studio and live sounds and effects of an artist as heard on their recordings. This includes modeling the speaker cabinets, microphones with their placements, pre/post effects, and the recording engineer’s magic all in one pedal. The Jimi Hendrix ExperienceTM Artist Series Pedal was conceived in conjunction with the Hendrix family and Eddie Kramer, Jimi’s engineer at Olympic and Electric Lady Studios.To capture Jimi’s tones we first identified and then modeled all the key components within the signal path, including MarshallTM Super LeadTM and FenderTM BassManTM amps, Dallas ArbiterTM Fuzz FaceTM, Roger MayerTM OctaviaTM, UnicordTM UnivibeTM, and VoxTM Clyde McCoy WahTM pedals.We then finished it off with Production Modeling to capture seven distinctive tones from classic Jimi recordings.

In the intro, Jimi’s guitar takes center stage with a Dallas ArbiterTM Fuzz FaceTM distortion pedal, a MarshallTM 100 watt Super LeadTM amplifier, and an EMT Plate Reverb.

Step on the TOE SWITCH to toggle this model’s intro tone. Step on the HEEL SWITCH to toggle this model’s solo tone. (The solo has more gain and a thicker bottom end.) MODEL 4. “Little Wing” Jimi and Eddie Kramer (his recording engineer) continued to redefine what a guitar could sound like on “Little Wing,” using a Marshall 100 watt Super Lead amp, an EMT Plate Reverb, and a custom-built rotary speaker to add a unique swirling quality to the song’s intro.

  • The Vox Continental
    Review: The Vox Continental ANDY BURTON · FEB 12, 2018 Reimagining a Sixties Icon The original Vox Continental, rst introduced by British manufacturer Jennings Musical Industries in 1962, is a classic “combo organ”. This sleek, transistor-based portable electric organ is deeply rooted in pop-music history, used by many of the biggest rock bands of the ’60’s and beyond. Two of the most prominent artists of the era to use a Continental as a main feature of their sound were the Doors (for example, on their classic 1967 breakthrough hit “Light My Fire”) and the Animals (“House Of The Rising Sun”). John Lennon famously played one live with the Beatles at the biggest-ever rock show to date, at New York’s Shea Stadium in 1965. The Continental was bright orange-red with reverse-color keys, which made it stand out visually, especially on television (which had recently transitioned from black-and-white to color). The sleek design, as much as the sound, made it the most popular combo organ of its time, rivaled only by the Farsa Compact series. The sound, generated by 12 transistor-based oscillators with octave-divider circuits, was thin and bright - piercing even. And decidedly low-delity and egalitarian. The classier, more lush-sounding and expensive Hammond B-3 / Leslie speaker combination eectively required a road crew to move around, ensuring that only acts with a big touring budget could aord to carry one. By contrast, the Continental and its combo- organ rivals were something any keyboard player in any band, famous or not, could use onstage.

The Racialization of Jimi Hendrix Abstract The period of history immediately following World War Two was a time of intense social change. The nde of colonialism, the internal struggles of newly emerging independent nations in Africa, social and political changes across Europe, armed conflict in Southeast Asia, and the civil rights movement in America were just a few. Although many of the above conflicts have been in the making for quite some time, they seemed to unite to form a socio-political cultural revolution known as the 60s, the effects of which continues to this day. The 1960s asw a particularly intense time for race relations in the United States. Long before it officially became a republic, in matters of race, white America collectively had trouble reconciling what it practiced versus what it preached. Nowhere is this racial contradiction more apparent than in the case of Jimi Hendrix. Jimi Hendrix is emblematic of the racial ideal and the racial contradictions of the 1960s.

  • Designing for the Ears As Well As for the Eyes
    Inspicio architecture 26 Sushi & Tapas restaurant, Surfside, Florida, 2015. Photo: WSDG Designing for the Ears as Well as for the Eyes By Howard Sherman orris J. Kaplan is a very hands-on businessman. A successful real estate developer and innovative res- M taurateur/entrepreneur, his career track is marked by imaginative ventures. Last year, Kaplan and his wife Sandra began laying the groundwork for a new Miami-area restaurant. A longtime fan of master chef Fernando Chang’s culinary tal- ents, Kaplan was confident there would be a strong demand for Chef Chang’s specialty—Kosher sushi and Peruvian dishes. Kaplan invested considerable time collaborating on the bill of fare and the interior design of his new restaurant. In addition to the menu, one of his primary concerns was acoustics. An avid “foodie,” Kaplan had long avoided dining in restaurants with noise levels so high they intruded on his guests’ ability to enjoy a simple conversation along with their meal. Kaplan made a promise to himself. Diners at his new restaurant would be able to discuss their food (and other topics) without having to shout at the top of their lungs. Coincidentally, as he formulated his plans for what was to be- come “26 Sushi & Tapas” in Surfside, Florida, Kaplan was also involved in building two new Miami area synagogues. During the course of a series of visits to those construction sites, he became aware of an unusually quiet ambience. Building sites are typically noisy environments and neither of these work sites would ever be mistaken for a library, but Kaplan discovered a sound clarity that was unusual enough to spark an investiga- tion.

  • In the Middle of 1970, Curtis Mayfield Quit the Impressions and Began One of the Most Groundbreaking and Successful Solo Careers in History
    In the middle of 1970, Curtis Mayfield quit the Impressions and began one of the most groundbreaking and successful solo careers in history. Nothing happened to force his hand—no dramatic falling out or heated argument. In his customary seat-of-the-pants way, he simply picked up the phone one evening, called fellow Impression Fred Cash, and said, “Fred, I’m going to try to go on my own and see what I can do. You and Sam [Gooden] can do the same thing. Y’all go on your own and see what you can do.” Fred called Sam and told him the news, and that was it. My father left the group. Fred, Sam, and the Impressions, three of the most important forces in my father’s life for more than a decade, no longer occupied his mind. The boyhood dreams, the endless miles traveled on tour, the lonely nights trying to steal sleep in motel beds, the harmonizing and fraternizing all came to an end. Dad struggled with the decision. For years, the three Impressions were so close that if you saw one of them, you usually saw the other two. They spent more time with each other than they did with their own wives. Yet, my father had the ability to turn off his emotions and make cold, calculated business decisions when he felt it necessary. Recalling this side of him, my brother Tracy says, “You saw a good and evil. The evil part came out when it was about business. I always separated the parent from the businessperson.
