RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. This is essential to the Little Wing sound; without it you get clean Strat tone but lose the signature liquid swirl.
Your Blues Junior IV is a near-perfect match — Fender clean platform like Hendrix's Twins. The BJr has more midrange focus than a blackface Twin, so mid stays at 7 rather than the original's flatter 6 to preserve that warm body. Presence dropped to 3 (BJr's presence can get ice-picky). Gain at 4 keeps you at edge-of-breakup where pick dynamics bloom. The FAT switch should stay OFF for this glassy tone.
