What has Joe learned after amassing one of the most impressive collections of vintage gear in the world?

You don’t really need it.

In this video, Joe sets up a nearly priceless rig consisting of the same vintage Strat, Marshall Super Lead, Fuzz Face, Uni-Vibe, and other effects that Hendrix would have played during his “Band of Gypsys” era. And then he puts it up against a $1,000 rig, with an off-the-shelf Squier, a Peavey Classic 30, and a suite of modern Dunlop pedals.

How close does he get to hallowed Hendrix sound? Watch the video above and find out!
