Re: Hendrix woodstock wah videos
I dont know how the US patent system works and please correct me if Im wrong, but just looking at the documentation and pics of US manufactured wahs with both "patent pending" and "patented" written on the bottom plate, some US made wahs might have been in production before 1970
Bradley J. Plunkett worked for Warwick Electronics who owned the Thomas Organ Company, so Im guessing the "patent pending" and "patented" inscription refers to this particular patent.
Patent documents filed Feb 1967 and issued Sept 1970:
"patent pending" US made wah
"patented" US made wah

Re: Hendrix woodstock wah videos
it's just so much b.s.
maybe hendrix had a usa vox wah. but he didn't use it at woodstock. are there any pics of him with a badge front wah? missing badge or not?
the mods are probably recent too. any evidence that hendrix conquered wah/fuzz interaction in his last year? seems he got noisier lol.
and it's not really his live wah tone that people are trying copy. everyone wants rainy day or other studio sounds.
the whole evolving story aspect makes me question all of it. it might be a super super early usa vox wah (1968?) but i doubt jimi signed/dated it and had it modded.

Re: Hendrix woodstock wah videos
The thing is though, the "Hendrix" wah seems to have the "patented" marking on the bottom plate as in the video below (you can barely see it but its there), I still dont get how Hendrix could have used a wah with a patent granted 4 days after he died

Re: Hendrix woodstock wah videos
To make things more complicated: Who says they would have stopped importing italian wahs when they started making them in the US? They could have been in production concurrently.Doc Holliday wrote:Remember Jen were not exclusively making these wahs for TO and JMI. As stated on the early Clydes it was patent pending jen also made them for Gretsch and other companies. Maybe they did it so they could patent it to stop others copying the design.
I'm guessing these were very close in age
Everything is transitional.

Some of my favorite music was made with a Dunlop Jimi Hendrix wah.
