Default Amp setting for 'Little Wings'

Not sure if this is the right place to post this.

What setting do you use on a acoustic amp for Jimmy Hendrix sound? I have a Fishman Loudbox Mini and just wondering if you have any advise you can give me to play 'Little Wings'. Thanks guys

With an acoustic guitar and an acoustic amplifier, you are not gonna get there, not going to come close to the tone that Jimi had on the original...

Doesn't mean you can't play it; doesn't mean you can't do a wonderful rendition of the song... just means that particular combination won't get you there...

Cheers jseth, I understand. I'm not expecting to get the exact tone especially on acoustic/amp, just something remotely close to the Hendrix sound. I've seen some cover done on acoustic and amp and they sound quite nice.
