It’s a simple chain, but every element is extremely important. Lower-output humbuckers have a sweeter tone. Higher-output humbuckers not only result in more gain but also create a harsher tone. This interaction of lower-output humbuckers into a Bluesbreaker is very important. There are a few differences in the models from those two years, but one common thread is that the pickups were lower-output than are a lot of modern humbuckers. As I’ve said, Clapton’s Les Paul was either a ’59 or ’60. Pickups play a big role in the tone of this period. It not only cuts some of the highs, but also adds some honk. Not all the way, but maybe three quarters back. One important component in this tone is the Les Paul tone knob. So, in short, a modern Les Paul wired to modern specs run into an old-school Marshall isn’t gonna get you the woman tone. I believe it also played a role in the gain staging of Clapton’s Marshalls. The side effect is that you lose a little volume. With ’50s wiring, you can roll back the tone knob and get more of that “honk”.

Modern wiring sounds more like a bass boost to me. I also find that when you roll back the tone knob, these guitars sound more natural and less hyped. With ’50s wiring on Gibson guitars, you retain more high-end as you roll back the volume. I find this to be really important to getting his “woman tone”. See a trend here? I mentioned ’50s wiring.

Both of these guitars also have humbucker pickups. During the Cream era, he also used a ’64 SG and a ’64 ES-335. GuitarĬlapton’s guitar on the Beano record was a ’59 or ’60 Les Paul Standard. A Les Paul with ’50s wiring played straight into a Marshall 1962 model amp turned all the way up will deliver what many consider the elusive Clapton tone. There is also no sign of one in any of the photos of the sessions. This is confirmed by the recording engineer. Despite rumors on the internet about Clapton using a Rangemaster, he says that he never did. This particular overdrive from the Bluesbreaker combo is often mistakenly attributed to a Dallas Arbiter Rangemaster treble booster. The humbuckers on the various Gibson guitars he used in the Bluesbreakers/Cream era pushed the amp harder than single coils could - pushing it into more overdrive. The distortion you hear on the “ Beano” record and Clapton’s other 1960s recordings is from the amp being cranked. Open-back cabs have a little more high-end. The combo version of the JTM-45 (Bluesbreaker) had an open-back cab with two 12” speakers. The JTM-45 uses KT66 output tubes and a GZ34 rectifier tube, giving the amp about 35 watts of power. In John Mayall & the Blues Breakers, he was using a Marshall Bluesbreaker - a JTM-45 combo amp. AmpsĬlapton worked his amps by pushing them to their limits. He rarely used much more than a wah, and contrary to speculation, he never used a treble booster or a fuzz. Clapton’s tone is simpler than you may think. Many rumors have circulated over the years, especially concerning the early Blues Breaker records. ** Single print order can either print or save as PDF.There’s been a lot of discussion about Eric Clapton’s tone.
