To my ears that was damn close to Jimi. You can tell it isn't Jimi, but man it was close. It sounded better than Hammett and Hetfield doing the anthem.
@@thelonesomefisherman7425 gonna be honest that isnt saying much because their rendition feels so empty and could have had so much more, but i agree this was DAMN close
It just baffles me that more than 50 years later after Jimi passed away we are still trying to recreate/capture his Tone, his Style and all that and every Guitar Player in the world secretly wants to sound and play like him. Now that is some inspiration eh. P.S.- Paul Smith is a genius in every way.
How lucky can one guy get?? Playing the guitars of gods like Clapton, Hetfield, Hammett, Halen, and Gibbons And now, having an awesome amp. One hard working dude!
That was a fantastic Star Spangled Banner performance, one of the most accurate renditions of the Hendrix version I've ever heard, and you just played it out of nowhere like it wasn't even a big deal lol.
Got my PRS HX100 yesterday, my first couple of hrs playing with it was “meh”… I woke up today with the desire to give it another try… HOLY SMOKES! The tones out of this amp! Amazing! Now I can’t turn it off, my strat directly into this amp was the key to start loving this amp. I needed to dial more the amp, as a curios info, the settings I dialed that gave me goosebumps were almost the same as Paul Reed mentions in this video (I had my bass slightly less), Wow! This will become a modern classic!
Just because it's not a fender doesn't mean it's not a strat, but yeah i get that he does have a fender strat or two so why the hell not use them? Oh, because PRS is paying him a shit ton of money to use their guitar lol
@@Sticknub Yes it does mean that, the name 'Stratocaster' is trademarked by Fender. So only they (and their sister companies) are allowed to use the name. Anything else just isn't a strat. Same as the Burgerking can't offer a Big Mac, or Google can't offer an iPhone.
Awesome to see how Paul just goes his way and meticulously develops product after product, that really worships the classic tone that we are all looking for. And i am very pleased to hear that PRS is not only into very good guitars and Pups, but also into serious amps. PRS could definitely become a tough competitor for some legendary amp manufacturers like Mesa Boogie. Because they have a sense for both perfect quality and also affordability, just remember the MT15.
Jimi. That was on point. Didn't know how much of a Jimi fan you are. My old apartment was set up so that no matter where you were, Jimi had his eyes on you from somewhere.
Oh wow yeah forget this then. I initially was thinking maybe I'll finally buy an amp and cabinet setup instead of combos. Nope! That's way too much. Seriously. You could get 2 revvs ffs.
Mr Hendrix had a performance In Kansas City Nov 1st 1968 and I was called the night before to repair one of his Marshall heads in which they said it needed immediate repair? OK I said but how did you get my name? Quigley music store was the response. Mr Quigley thought highly of my work and was very gracious and referred them to me. So I setup the time and all and took the referral. At the time I had a good reputation in all things tube (not called valve back in the day) Marshall, Fender, Vox, Magnacord, Boogie (authorized by the man himself) and others it didn't matter as anything tube was my opportunity and forte as I always took them on. Mr Hendrix was adamant about 2 things, tone and tone LOL. That night of the show I was invited to stay backstage for the performance but I passed as I had family stuff which just could not be overlooked however someone the next day gave me a "pass" by Me Hendrix in which he personally signed and so for many years as a reminder of that moment I kept it in my desk drawer. Unfortunately a house fire later on did them in and now I realize how bad that fire was to take away the history of that moment as Mr Hendrix wrote on the pass "Thank you" and signed it. Mr Hendrix was very personable. As I delivered the amps (I checked them all) that same night I delivered them to Municipal Auditorium I got the opportunity to meet Jimi while shaking his hand. I observed immediately how powerful his left was and asked if I could also check his other hand? Out of curiosity he agreed. I then commented what I thought all along his fingers were one of the secrets in his style and his tone. Others since then have claimed that very same thing but I already knew. Mr Hendrix and I talked about the dominant D and G string when doing double and triple stops and Mr Hendrix was adamant and very picky about the G string I asked why? Mr Hendrix smiled and said the G string must be flatted or it would dominate the triplets and or chords and that was part of the reasoning behind him tuning down a half step. Then there's the time I met Mr Smith in 1987 as back then I was working with MCI telecom back in DC. OK so I went to a bar that night after work where his band back then I forget the name but all I knew was at the time I needed to have one of the guitars he was playing. On a break I approached him and he claimed "I make them" yeah sure I said, he then took a paper napkin and wrote the address in Annapolis Maryland with a phone number on it we shook hands and I returned to my table. So since I was in DC for several weeks I decided ok I gotta check this out!! The next day being a Saturday off I went to Annapolis but I had to stop several times to get directions as I was lost and almost gave up. I finally found the building close to the shipyard kind of depleted looking it was, as I thought this is a guitar shop? Anyway long story short Mr Smith greeted me at the door with wood dust and all and let me in. After a brief tour I bought the custom 25 ten top, birds inlay for not much money and Mr Smith said he normally doesn't do business that way but since I took the initiative he would allow such a purchase. Now to this day I never asked the boss at home for permission as I was happy to have something I wanted and was willing to risk a divorce. Unfortunately my PRS that I enjoyed is no longer in my possession as I am divorced and the ex decided to keep it as a part of the settlement and possible revenge, I dunno. I can attest to one thing though both gentlemen I met had in common, which was all about "TONE". I know what I know and finger and amp tone are magical. Mr Hendrix made Marshall a success and Mr Smith mentored by Mr McCarty set standards for guitarists to enjoy an instrument to be enjoyed for a lifetime and beyond. Mr Hendrix gave us Purple Haze and Mr Smith gave us focus and beauty. In my book they are both 10+
"I tried to sound like Hendrix but I sounded like myself." In short "I'm only human". Long live The Wild Blue Angel, The Alien who taught us to be in tune with the universe, the groovy god, the HENDRIX!!!
@Breed Zeppelin I know a lot of people say that but I don’t like when people call him an alien. He was a human, first and foremost. A better word would be genius.
Love Paul’s determination to make great products. Sadly, some of those great products are not for the majority of us, more common players. A bit expensive to be honest. Still fantastic. Would get one if I could afford it.
Wow,,, that sound,,,, Allow me to share something with you. In 1983 I was hired for a session at a recording studio in New York City that has long since gone out of business. For the session, I played through a raggedy old Sunn stack they had in the studio. After the session, as I was ready to leave, the owner took me into the studio and turned the amp around. Stenciled on the back were the words that froze me in my tracks: "Jimi Hendrix Experience. Handle With Care." My jaw hit the floor. Apparently, Hendrix gave some amps to Leslie West. The guy who owned the studio was a former roadie with Mountain, and got one of them. This is a true story. My fate allowed me the bragging rights that I played out of one of Jimi's amps! Not many can say the same!
@@domonicramey3960 I’d say it is more like a different version of Strat... . But still I would have loved to hear that beast with an 60s Stratocaster plugged in it.
I recently had the opportunity to try a Silver Sky in a local guitar shop I was super excited really looking forward to playing it. To be honest afterwards I felt distinctly underwhelmed, don’t get me wrong it was a well put together instrument but given a choice I’d take my 63 Custom Shop Strat every time.
I own a Marshall 50 watt without master volume. I adjusted my tone settings just you have them here and I got a better tone than I have ever gotten out this amp. I've owned it since 1988 also. Thank you for showing this! I love my Marshall and think it sounds like Jimi too! I use a 1970 Stratocaster, Boss CE2 chorus pedal and a Cry Baby wah pedal through it.
I heard Hendrix’s version of The Star Spangled Banner at ten years old and my taste in music was never the same again. Wow, a guitar can do that!! Gimme more of that weirdness! That’s actually what my brain sounds like!
'You don't need much to sound good' Members on the gear page forum with their 47 boutique fuzz pedals, 57 hand wired overdrives and 67 pedals on their board are shaking in their boots right now
People complaining it's not a Marshall are missing the point; Hendrix' amp was modded and its been long enough that most likely the circuits used can now be replicated by others, hence giving PRS the opportunity to put out an actual copy of the actual amp, so the Marshall plus whatever it had that made it more than just the Marshall. Yeah, the price is not really accessible but the fact that they can do it now means there will be cheaper versions eventually as well as virtual heads in software. I'd argue the cab if it doesn't have the right Celestions would change the sound more, even than whatever mic he's using to record it. To me it sounds amazing and I'd love to have one. I can't afford one tho so yeah...
@@cooperhamilton6141 Limited edition lets them charge lots more.... Although maybe that is being unfair? I honestly don't know - maybe they charged a reasonable price for all the materials and effort needed for it, and just decided they couldn't afford to make it in large numbers....
Sounds killer. From the PRS webpage for this amp: "Please note: This is a vintage stock volume amp. PRS recommends using a volume attenuator with these amplifiers." translation: This amp will sterilize you at full volume.
Breath-taking tone. I can't even find more words, it is other-worldly and quite inspiring to listen to even on the YT. Well done PRS and Doug Sewell in making this refreshed version that stays true to the simplicity and feel. I'm super jealous, and will definitely try one of these out if/when they show up at my local music shop in Pittsburgh.
Jimi Used the VOX V845 Classic Wah wah (though it wasn’t called classic when he used it lol). Sounds exactly like Jimi’s wah wah sound (because it is!) It’s a lot more funky sounding than the wah Tyler has here
I dunno... It sounded very muddy to me. I mean, Jimi's sound was kinda muddy, but not quite like this. Might just be me, I'm sure it sounds better in person.
Most likely got put into storage cos of internal issues with the Hendrix Estate. It's a long story of internal affairs but I think most of his stuff has been locked away so no one can hear or see it.
PRS were going to put a Fender headstock on it but Fender pointed out that the shape is one of their trademarks, and they'd prefer it if PRS' Strat clone didn't infringe on it. There's a video of John Mayer throwing a hissy fit about it. It's hilarious. How dare they stop him ripping them off!
Fantastic! I would love to see Tyler make a video demonstrating how Hendrix used the wah-wah in a more sophisticated way than any other player. The quintessential example in my opinion is the beginning of Still Raining Still Dreaming and then all of the rest of the song. As the saying goes, he knows how to make it talk.
I used a dunlop crybaby for over a decade for everything. I took mine apart and adjusted the wheel that controlled the depth so it naturally scooped a little lower when I wasn't satisfied with it. I got a Vox wah about 3 years ago and yeah, if you're wanting to sound like hendrix (especially Voodoo Chile) the Vox gets closer than the Crybaby (in my opinion). But it doesn't really matter, put your own spin on it.
For talking about Hendrix so much you’d think he’d play a strat through a Hendrix amp but you know... Tyler. PRS silver sky’s don’t sound like strats and Jimi definitely used vox wahs there are fing photos
@@thenoobassassin no offense but that's ignorant as hell. Go find one video of someone playing the National Anthem and it sounding almost exactly like Hendrix's Woodstock performance. I don't play PRS but they damn sure sound very close to a Strat. That's why John Mayer plays one now. Strat guys love them for a reason.
It's very easy to forget you're a really good guitar player with your humor and three fingers technique...You're the best three fingers technique guitar player i have ever seen...After Gary Moore...I hope you realized that is a very high compliment...
I "added" the Drum Intro to Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) by slapping my thighs and playing "Air High-Hat". The sounds you were able to get were absolutely eerie 🎸
That’s what RUclips personalities are man. We get to watch a constant stream of videos promoting products These videos are modern day infomercials It’s so pervasive younger kids don’t even realize they are just watching product commercials all day lol
@@lomoholga yeah. I get that. But I feel like this was a misleading title. Especially considering that Tyler has actually played a variety of iconic guitars it meant it was believable for him to be playing Jimi's amp. 😥
@@CARBr6 I hear you. RUclips is now in a no-win situation for the viewers. In order for people like him to churn out videos, they have to get paid. There’s no two way about it. It takes way too much time and effort for guys like him to do this for free man. Problem is that you can see the ‘content’ quickly changes from totally independent guitar themed clips into what we have here- constant stream of commercials that are no different in function from watching the old fashioned shopping channel on cable TV. It just feeds the constant consumer behaviour and general GAS They don’t get enough views doing generic unsponsored videos to make it worthwhile
@@lomoholga I'm not complaining about the advertising nature of the video, it's the misleading title. Especially with Tyler, who has actually been invited to play some real-life guitars owned by legendary guitarists. So I genuinely believed that he was going to play a strat through Jimi's amp (based on the thumbnail) instead he played a PRS strat copy through a PRS copy amp.

translation: This amp will sterilize you at full volume.
My dating life doesn’t exist… plus an amp is cheaper than a gf or kids lol I’m in!! 💯
Thanks once again for a great demo and hat's off to PRS !
"It's been a long time since a piece of gear got me excited" , Sure Ty, sure.
Exactly! Didn’t he get PRS’s version of a custom shop not long ago?
@@Icantdrive55 he’s also played one of Clapton’s strats
NOW YOUR HAVING TO MUCH FUN!! I'M JEALOUS: GOOD TONE. You got it!
I thought I was going to see an actual Jimi Hendrix amp.
Beautifully done by you and PRS!
It sounds great but Jim Marshall Hendrix without an amp from Jim Marshall is strange.
Jimi used 59 Fender Bassman in the studio mostly
Sounds so spot on! Legendary.
Dude how are you recording the amp? Is it just a room mic? Sounds epic.
interface i assume
Probably the OX box setup behind him
Breath-taking tone. I can't even find more words, it is other-worldly and quite inspiring to listen to even on the YT. Well done PRS and Doug Sewell in making this refreshed version that stays true to the simplicity and feel. I'm super jealous, and will definitely try one of these out if/when they show up at my local music shop in Pittsburgh.
So PRS copied a Strat and now they've basically copied a Marshall Plexi 😂
Thanks Tyler. This was awesome.
I was playing Stone Free 20 minutes before this.
That’s was amazing!! I could hear Jimi’s guitar - spot on! Loved the video!!
Jimi Used the VOX V845 Classic Wah wah (though it wasn’t called classic when he used it lol). Sounds exactly like Jimi’s wah wah sound (because it is!)
It’s a lot more funky sounding than the wah Tyler has here
we are talking about 6000$ amp & hp 4x12 + 600$ univibe + 200$ smiley .... but you and prs nailed it so much i'm impressed !
I dunno... It sounded very muddy to me. I mean, Jimi's sound was kinda muddy, but not quite like this. Might just be me, I'm sure it sounds better in person.
Holy Moly, that was great! Such great playing! I love Jimi, and I could feel the vibe the whole way thru. Immense!
What ever happened to all of Jimi Hendrix's Marshall Amps ? I understand they were hot rodded )
Most likely got put into storage cos of internal issues with the Hendrix Estate. It's a long story of internal affairs but I think most of his stuff has been locked away so no one can hear or see it.
@@gabrielmumbray4287 For what purpose . Put them in a museum , reproduce them .
@@trevorgwelch7412 I don't know why.... Ask the Hendrix estate
Awesome Tyler as always ....always honor your opinion and talent.....now send that amp to Johnny Mayer....
i looked at the price and cried a little inside
Wow!!🤯🤯
The star spangled banner was out of this world, gave me chills.
Sorry for being a purist, but jesus christ i hate that headstock
Agreed... tone wise, the guitar is pretty solid, but PRS head stocks have always been so unattractive
same...it's an abomination lol
i like it tbh
I like them more than fender or Gibson but I honestly have never seen a headstock I love haha
PRS were going to put a Fender headstock on it but Fender pointed out that the shape is one of their trademarks, and they'd prefer it if PRS' Strat clone didn't infringe on it. There's a video of John Mayer throwing a hissy fit about it. It's hilarious. How dare they stop him ripping them off!
Fantastic! I would love to see Tyler make a video demonstrating how Hendrix used the wah-wah in a more sophisticated way than any other player. The quintessential example in my opinion is the beginning of Still Raining Still Dreaming and then all of the rest of the song. As the saying goes, he knows how to make it talk.
I used a dunlop crybaby for over a decade for everything. I took mine apart and adjusted the wheel that controlled the depth so it naturally scooped a little lower when I wasn't satisfied with it.
I got a Vox wah about 3 years ago and yeah, if you're wanting to sound like hendrix (especially Voodoo Chile) the Vox gets closer than the Crybaby (in my opinion). But it doesn't really matter, put your own spin on it.
PRS crushed it. Saw Hendrix in '68. Sound is spot on!!!!!!
Imagine how good it would sound with a real Strat 😎
For talking about Hendrix so much you’d think he’d play a strat through a Hendrix amp but you know... Tyler. PRS silver sky’s don’t sound like strats and Jimi definitely used vox wahs there are fing photos
@@thenoobassassin that's because this is just a PRS ad disguised as a yt vid
You are correct sir, sadly. But I get it, the shilling is just hardcore.
@@thenoobassassin no offense but that's ignorant as hell. Go find one video of someone playing the National Anthem and it sounding almost exactly like Hendrix's Woodstock performance. I don't play PRS but they damn sure sound very close to a Strat. That's why John Mayer plays one now. Strat guys love them for a reason.
It's very easy to forget you're a really good guitar player with your humor and three fingers technique...You're the best three fingers technique guitar player i have ever seen...After Gary Moore...I hope you realized that is a very high compliment...
isnt that just a marshall plexi tho? or did jimi mod it?
awesome playing and channeling Hendrix!
That doesn't look like a Marshall Plexi
I "added" the Drum Intro to Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) by slapping my thighs and playing "Air High-Hat". The sounds you were able to get were absolutely eerie 🎸
I'm sure Paul had to sell his soul to the Hendrix estate to be able to do this.
Unreal!! The castles made of sand backwards solo video blew my mind
I was all excited for a moment, I thought you had actually got to play Jimi's amp. But, no, just another PRS Advert.
That’s what RUclips personalities are man.
We get to watch a constant stream of videos promoting products
These videos are modern day infomercials
It’s so pervasive younger kids don’t even realize they are just watching product commercials all day lol
@@lomoholga yeah. I get that. But I feel like this was a misleading title. Especially considering that Tyler has actually played a variety of iconic guitars it meant it was believable for him to be playing Jimi's amp. 😥
@@CARBr6 I hear you. RUclips is now in a no-win situation for the viewers.
In order for people like him to churn out videos, they have to get paid. There’s no two way about it. It takes way too much time and effort for guys like him to do this for free man.
Problem is that you can see the ‘content’ quickly changes from totally independent guitar themed clips into what we have here- constant stream of commercials that are no different in function from watching the old fashioned shopping channel on cable TV.
It just feeds the constant consumer behaviour and general GAS
They don’t get enough views doing generic unsponsored videos to make it worthwhile
@@lomoholga I'm not complaining about the advertising nature of the video, it's the misleading title.
Especially with Tyler, who has actually been invited to play some real-life guitars owned by legendary guitarists. So I genuinely believed that he was going to play a strat through Jimi's amp (based on the thumbnail) instead he played a PRS strat copy through a PRS copy amp.
You sound great, bro! Love your passion for Jimi!
Wow,some of you actually think that was his actual amp lmfao
Holy cow, tone for DAYS. Nice one PRS
How can he have such good luck???
bc music is win
Hard work
P.R.S. nailed it. Also your playing helped a lot. You really understand Jimi"s playing style. Best I've ever heard and Im Sixty!!!!!!!!!!
Marshall missed an opportunity to do this themselves.
This is when you know you've made it. Congratulations Tyler.
And hotdamn, that sounds goooood.
