The Original Guitar Hero

Jimi Hendrix is widely accepted as one of the world’s most influential guitarists. Was he the best ever? We would make no such claim, as that is an extremely subjective matter, but he was certainly wildly inspiring and the first to truly define the sound of guitar-driven rock.

First and foremost, thanks to his amazing talent, but that talent for playing as well as pushing the envelope of how gear available in the 60’s could be used.

Obviously, his Strat was a key component of his sound, but so was his use of a certain tube amp and fuzz pedals.

As Precise As It Gets

Our passionate and guitar-playing team of engineers set out to faithfully recreate the original amp with the painstaking accuracy and attention to detail that only guitar players with actual hands-on experience with the original amp can achieve.

At the heart of JIMS 45, our AMPWORX modeling technology works its magic, carefully recreating the classic guitar tone that’s the sum of each and every component from the circuit of the original.

The result? The best and most precise digital amp modeling of this famous amp you have ever run your guitar through.

Stack Up on Hard-Rocking Tones

We kept the control layout true to the original to not only give you authentic tone, but also a familiar look that makes you feel right at home right out of the box.

From this classic starting point, you can go classic, modern or just downright nuts. It’s all up to you how you want to tweak JIMS 45, but rest assured that no matter what, you’ll be able to sculpt jaw-dropping guitar tones that are perfect for bending notes as well as minds.
