Knob Function Descriptions MODEL 1. "Sunshine ofYour Love", Cream ­ Disraeli Gears (1967) Perhaps one of Eric's best known songs from the Cream years is "Sunshine of Your Love". Eric achieved his now infamous "woman tone" on "Sunshine" in a rather unconventional manner. He began with running his amplifiers as hot and loud as possible. He then rolled back the tone control on his SG and engaged his wah-wah to a fixed position. The midrange/treble boost from the wah compensated for the lack of tone from the SG. MODEL 1 models this effect using the CNTRL 1 and CNTRL 2 knobs to adjust the amount of distortion gain and tone respectively. MODEL 2. "Crossroads", Cream ­ Wheels of Fire, Live at the Fillmore (1968) A pivotal moment in Eric's career is the track "Crossroads" from Cream's live 1968 recording Wheels of Fire, Live at the Fillmore. "Crossroads" was penned by Robert Johnson, Eric's most important guitar influence. Its electrified delta blues form evolved from Eric's days with the Bluesbreakers to the power rock blues version heard on this performance. This song features Eric's famous soloing work that is still talked about today. CNTRL 1 adjusts the amount of distortion gain. "Badge", Cream ­ Goodbye (1969) For the song "Badge", Eric used a rotary organ speaker cabinet to get the swirling guitar effect heard in the breaks between the verse and chorus. This sound was achieved by overdriving the amplifier and by strategically placing two microphones around the rotating speakers. These mic signals were then panned in a stereo field. For this MODEL, connect both the OUT 1 (AMP) and OUT 2 (MIXER) outputs into two different amps or two channels of a mixer panned hard left and hard right to hear the rotary speaker modulation effect at its best. CNTRL 1 adjusts the amount of overdrive gain for the guitar signal while CNTRL 2 adjusts the speed of the modulated sound. MODEL 4. "Layla", Derek and the Dominoes ­ Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs (1970) Eric's most recognized guitar riff and song is "Layla". Recorded under the band moniker of Derek and the Dominos, "Layla" features Eric on "Brownie", his Fender® StratTM guitar which he played through a tweed Fender® ChampTM amplifier. CNTRL 1 adjusts the amount of distortion gain. MODEL 5. "Lay Down Sally", Eric Clapton ­ Slowhand (1977) "Lay Down Sally" is a country style shuffle featuring Eric and George Terry in a counterpoint guitar duet. CNTRL 1 adjusts the amount of distortion gain. [. . . ] Remove the battery from the battery compartment and disconnect the battery cable.
