Describing the distortion is tough; it's like the vocal is suddently being routed through some particularly tinny laptop speakers; the verse ends and it soars once again..It's not a bass issue as far as I can tell; if anything it's the reverse; it's treble that seems to be the victim... Does that shed any light?
It sounds like a resonance within the speakers, being set off by the volume level.
Without looking inside the speakers/ enclosure it is difficult to pin down further.
I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan
