Olympic Studios Rotary Chime — Intro & Rhythm
Hendrix used a hollow-sounding in-between Strat pickup position and a dynamic, just-breaking-up amplifier sound, with the studio guitar treated through a rotating Leslie speaker. The amp values are practical approximations designed to retain pick sensitivity and chord detail.

Notes
Pick lightly for clean chords and dig in for grit; a fast Uni-Vibe is less accurate than a slow Leslie-style rotary effect.
