Tone-wise, I can’t remember anything that has particularly stuck out about Prince. But I did notice this recent clip of Prince on Jay Leno’s show. He’s playing a Strat with a Floyd Rose, does some Hendrix-sounding stuff, whangs the whammy a couple times, throws in a little funk and then is full on “I wanna be Eddie” with the flanger and whatever else he’s got going. Did I mention the full stack (is it a Laney?), large pedalboard and pretty good tone?

Here you go: Prince performing is new tune “Dreamer” on Leno last week (March 26).
