hey Doc good comparison, gee the fuzz face sounds totally different to the Axis pedal.
might as well demo your octavia pedal Doc
would be hard to replicate Jimi's sound without Jimi playing and who knows what sort of pickups/string gauges etc he used.
What pickup setting was that Doc, bridge?

Oh, and I've got 42-09 gauge strings on my Strat, who knows what gauge strings Jimi used on his Strats, I think he custom made his own gauge of strings from different sets, there's a story on the internet about how he used a Banjo string for one of the strings on his Strat.
Of course, you can get close to Hendrix's sound by using the pedals he used with a 60's Super Lead Plexi, but unless you play exactly like he did, you won't sound exactly like him, there's been guitarists that got close to sounding like Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan is one example.
I've also got my Univibe pedal here with me, can do a demo of it too.
