De Lane Lea Smoky Strat — Riff & Solo
The early recording is associated with Hendrix's white Stratocaster and a loud Marshall JTM45/100-style rig, producing a warm clean-to-crunch response without obvious modulation. The fuzz contribution remains debated, so it is used only as subtle extra hair in the solo and the numerical settings are approximate.

Notes
The rhythm should be clearer and less saturated than many modern Hendrix presets.
