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?

He is the Master!.
God we miss him.
The gear can help but it’s in the fingers.
Glad to see Joe doing something like this. Everyone can’t afford the vintage treasures.
