Live performance at Fillmore East, NY, January 1, 1970 (Band of Gypsys era). Gear confirmed by multiple sources for this concert series. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this song/solo. Effects chain is classic Hendrix: Fuzz Face, Uni-Vibe, Vox wah. No amp reverb or delay. All effects are pedals, not amp-based.
