I had such a blast doing this. I can't thank Clappo enough for his late 80s stuff - that was such inspirational music for me. Cheers to Matt & Rabea for letting me crash the show.
CaptAnderton i watch all your vids and ive noticed you gotten better as a player. your more relaxed and let it flow and this vid is a prime example of it. keep up the great vids and keep up the relaxed natural playing.
ITS EASY TO PLAY SOMEONE ELSES SONGS, YOU DONT JUDGE A GUITAR PLAYER BY HOW THEY PLAY ANOTHER PLAYERS SONGS, IF THAT WAS THE CASE THEN THERE ARE MILLIONS OF GREAT GUITAR PLAYERS OUT THERE, YOU JUDGE A GUITAR PLAYER BY THE MUSIC THEY CREATE THEIR SELF, THAT BEING SAID THOUGH HE HAS GOTTEN ALOT BETTER OVER THE YEARS BUT I SAY THAT FROM HIS STUFF HE COMES UP WITH ON HIS OWN, ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL IF SOMEONE PLAYS ANTHERS SONGS, SO I AGREE WITH YOU EXCEPT FOR THE PART OF THIS VIDEO BEING THE PROOF, WATCH HIS OLD VIDEO WITH CHAPPERS WHEN DID A SOUND LIKE CLAPTON, THE THINGS HE PLAYED IN BOTH VIDEOS SOUND THE SAME
Rockerx1997x THEY NEEDED SONETHING THAT WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE EXTRA GAIN THE MID BOOST WAS GOING TO ADD SO I THINK THAT'S WHY THEY WENT BASSBREAKER 15 BECAUSE IT HAS THAT GAIN ON TAP ALREADY SO THEY KNEW IF THEY SET IT TO A CLEANER TONE AND PUT IN THE MID BOOST IT WOULD SOUND GOOD, THE BLUES JUNIOR MAY HAVE NOT HANDLED THE MID BOOST THE SAME WAY, DOES THAT AMP HAVE MORE GAIN IN IT THEN THE BLUES JUNIOR?
thanks for your answer, i never played with a mid boost neither i played a pro junior with single coils, i only have humbuckers so i don't know, but i will check it out
You should do a spin off "Sounds Like..." series where you only use the classic vibe Strat and the Marshall DSL40C and try and see how many artists sounds you can come close to.
Eric is really basic ,, know what your playing really well ,, superb vibrato , note selection & phrasing & Time ,, you will sound like him no matter what ,, just master those !!!
Good episode! I think it'd be really cool to do see a *by busting* and *without busting* in the same episode so people can get a feel for the difference these rigs make when trying to get the same tone. Just a suggestion. Cheers! Oh PS - you guys still wanting to do a redo of John Frusciante?
jordan74 Yeah, Radiohead would be cool. They'd probably need to find a Fender American Standard Telecaster, maybe Vox AC30 and whatever pedals Jonny Greenwood uses (I think he has a pitch shifter for his solo on Paranoid Android but I can't really tell)
This was another good choice! But you know why I'm here... Sound like Johnny Marr! (It would also be cool to do a proper Sound like The Smiths, since Andy Rourke was an awesome bassist with a unique tone, which was primarily solid state)
abit too much gain to my ears... that being said, my favorite Clapton era was the astonishingly short 2 year run of Cream. YES, Cream were only together for TWO YEARS 1966-1968 (although a final album was released in 1969 after the band had already called it quits), which shows how amazing they were considering they broke up 49 years ago(!!!) and they are still talked about & influencing musicians to this day.
I make Clapton's 'great' era as even shorter. From 'I feel free' through to 'Disraeli Gears'. He started to go downhill right after that. Which means that this demo is pointless to me, to get the Clapton sound you need a 58-60's Les Paul (Although I did get pretty close with an Epiphone Sheraton and a Musiwewe Purple/Blue pedal right out of the box. Unfortunately after someone touched the knobs I lost it...).
I also think it would be awesome to do a "Sounds Like Clapton by busting the Bank",obviously featuring The Captain...but I think it would be really nice if either Matt or Rabea did a late '60's era rig and the other one a more Fendery sort of thing...Cheers!!!
EC is indeed a strat guy now but he was a les paul guy in the beginning and sg. He also used to be a AC-30 back in the old old days. Modified a custom Marshall "bluesbreaker" amplifier too. He favoured the Vox wah. Used a slide on occasian. His strats had a mid boost effect built into his Strats.
Good job, guys. Lord knows it's not easy doing your usual gig with your boss. He thanked you for inviting him so many times that I have the sinking suspicion perhaps he invited himself.
I've been watching the Capt play for years anow and every. single. video. he absolutely nails whatever he's playing. I think he's my favorite "not famous" guitar player. Even if you add the famous players, he's still right up there.
Squier Classic Vibe Tele - 417.00 Vox AC15 w/Celestion Greenback - 580.00 Boss SD1 - 45.00 Digitech Whammy Ricochet - 129.00 EHX Nano Small Stone - 61.00 Boss RE20 Space Echo - 199.00 Total - 1431.00 I'd skip out on the Carbon Copy since the RE20 that he actually DOES use is in budget and the Small Stone is more of a staple sound than the envelope filter, and the ricochet is the cheapest way to get a whammy in your rig. It might not nail everything 100% bang on but it'd get you pretty close
Whilst I love the sound/tone that Lee is getting here, with the mid-boost and having bought new pickups, I was gobsmacked by the Clapton Strat sound he got in the 2013 video referred to here ('Sound Like Eric Clapton for Under £1,000 - (Chappers Favourite Sound Like So Far)'), and the ingenuity with which he approximated that sound (quite closely). In fact, I was so impressed that I went out last week and bought the Spark Boost and GE 7 Equalizer pedals that he used to get the Clapton Strat tone in the video mentioned above. Using those has been a revelation, and even better, has enabled me to get that Clapton sound I have been after for so long. And those pedals cost me just over a hundred quid, secondhand, so that is a much cheaper route to go (even if you buy pedals new), and gives one a much more versatile set up than having to mod a guitar to achieve the sound. Thanks Captain Lee.
I'm assuming you're just being sarcastic and you do actually know about Lee Anderton who is the owner/operator of Anderton's Music Co and is it a LOT of the videos on the channel, just not so much THIS series.
25 db is over 4 times as loud, and about 300 times the power (voltage times current). It's more than putting two Echoplex preamp pedals together (200 times the power). It's about the same as a dimed Spark Boost (about 300 times, too), and is over twice the power of a EP booster (which is 100 times the power). That thing is a monster.
maexle01 it's all in the fingers with joe, you need his fingers to get his sound no matter what guitar you use. His rig is super simple when he plays live, two bassmans and two twins with an overrated special and a wah. Oh and a hell of a lot of vintage guitars
I have some serious suggestions/proper challenges for you: Geordie Walker: Killing Joke Robert Smith: The Cure Billy Duffy: The Cult 3 hugely influential guitarists, good range of effect useage and style yet not your standard canon of players. I am certainly not complaining with what you have done so far, some very interesting choices but I personally would enjoy seeing your take on some more alternative players. Just a thought, keep up the good work lads.
Clapton live from hyde Park 96,97 was the greatest concerts ever, i got to see him in 98 in Phoenix, was also one of the greatest concerts ever, blackie was screaming, couldn't belive the bends he was doing, had a big screen each side of the stage zoomed in on his fingers, you had to come out of your seat, chill down your spine.
"Wonderful Tonight" is my parent's wedding song. Great vid, and great tones! Would love to see a Sounds like Weezer with/without busting the bank, next!
When I first watched this 8 years ago it confused the heck out of me. I have an EC Strat and the controls are round the other way on the factory bought version…… thanks Lee!
Awesome job as always guys!!! Great choice on getting The Captain in to do this one. Like Rabea said, I couldn't think of anyone else better to do it. Eric Clapton is a sick blues guitar player and so is Lee.
Bass part (Jack Bruce) (In this video you're using Strat, so lets we all pretend we are recrating Cream's 2005 reunion, shall we?) -For classic Cream we need of course Epiphone EB-3. But we are in 2005 in Royal Albert Hall, we need a fretless Warwick JJ pickup configuration, RB Corvette or Streamer -Hartke Kickback 15, you know, a good sounding amp for a fretless
I did the same thing with my Squire Vintage Modified Strat! I added the Clapton electronics and some nice scooped-sounding pickups and it ended up being a Mayer/Clapton hybrid. Sounds monstrous to this day!
Getting a 50s Classic Vibe delivered to me today. Now I know exactly what I want to play first. I need an amp upgrade but just a head. Might look into a bassbreaker then. There has to be a reason Bryan Setzer has used one for years. Though its said he uses the specific year due to the rectifier inside
they did Mick Mars from Motley Crue recently! but if they're doing metallica with unlimited budget for James: ESP Snakebyte,Truckster or Vulture, Mesa Boogie head and cab or Roland Jazz Chorus, with an overdrive pedal for Kirk: ESP KH, since they don't stock Randall use either Marshall JVM/JCM or another Mesa Boogie amp, some chorus and the Dunlop kirk Hammett Wah
Clapton is not a guitarist I'm a huge huge fan of and I would never want to sound like him personally. But they did very very well on the sound here and it's always really great to see someone who is a proper fan of the artist showing their real knowledge and skill. Well done Cappers!
As a huge guitar fan and player, watching your videos and gear demoing, I've always assumed the captain was holding back a little with his guitar playing a little. Now after watching this (not a huge Eric Clapton fan) it seems the captain came out of his shell and just let loose with good feeling and soul. To me, that's what a cracking guitarist is. Well done guys.
Jalan Hart my favourite Clapton was always the early Cream stuff, just at the beginning of his discovery of woman tone, and his SG and Firebird plugged in Marshall stacks. Still love the slowhand stuff though.
So in regards to the noiseless pickups. I did this mod to Fender Custom Shop 69' pickups before and played gigs with it in a 70+ year old club. Wasn't ideal but I made it through. Like you said it's like having 5 overdrive pedals. Everything gets a little noisy. Just remember to keep the gain turned down on the amp or it will squeal feedback when the boost is up. I've had a Blackie signature model and it did it as well.
I saw tons of the captains videos. But i never recognized him so much as a wonderful Guitar player like in this Video. Great and tasty playing. Thanks!
I initially thought that you guys should go for a more current sounding clapton, with the tweed thing going on, because I think Clapton just nailed his tone using that rig. But, to be honest, I think the bassbreaker was the best choice you could have made. It works amazingly well to do the current straty woman tone Clapton does and also the 80s stuff he used to do with the Soldanos and stuff. Great video. I could watch an even longer one with even more playing. But I think it's just cuz that Clapton tone, and his playing is what made me get real interested on playing guitar. And there could be a Sound Like Clapton BY busting the bank just to see you guys using something to make that Leslie sound he uses on Badge too. Lol Cheers!
Ritchie Blackmore would be great. I know it's marshall and a strat, but the marshall was custom the aiwa tape recorder that he used was not really a standard petal.
They could stretch to a more expensive guitar in this one but here's my rig Gretsch G5420 - £786 (since they can't afford a G6120 Brian Setzer Hotrod without busting the bank) Fender Blues JR III - £565 (since they can't afford a Fender Bassman head and cab on this budget) TC Electronic Hall of Fame Mini - £85 that should be it since he's not a massive pedal user he only has a tiny bit of reverb and delay so use the amp reverb with a cheap delay pedal and you'll have it this came in at £1436
Hi guys. i guess I will have to go with the consensus on this one, you need to do a Clapton BY Busting the bank to get the sound for this one. Lee is correct. The Bassbreaker just does not cut it for that Clapton tone, and you'd think it would given how Clapton used Marshalls AND Fenders. But its just too dark. I would have used a Fender Blues Jr with some kind of OD or boost pedal to give it the Clapton sound. Or why in the heck did you not spend some of the budget on a Treble booster...since its rumored that Clapton used one. That may have gotten the BassBreaker into a more Fendery tone and closer to what you hear from Clapton. Either that or a Soldano style OD? I was kind of shocked, even with the small budget something else was not added to this latest rig(I mean Matt even talked about an EQ pedal! WHY NOT?!?) I am glad you guys did this since Clapton is one of those artist who does cover a rather huge range guitar and amp wise. Please(Weekly plea) Do Tom Petty and Mike Campbell. Same concept, they cover a large range. But please dont just leave it at "This amp, This Guitar and x pedal". As always, cheers for the great job
I really want you guys to do a Sound Like Cream! It is just so different to the modern Clapton thing, I think it deserves a go. And right now, with the new range of SGs and the Marshall Studio range, you could do a really cool version of By busting.
If they had the Dunlop cry baby 535Q Wah, that would have been the perfect pedal that could've achieved the tones since it has a boost circuit in it and especially the 5 way wah voicing switch and the variable Q eq knob circuit the tone bases would be covered, I remember trying the Vox standard Wah and Anderton is right the wah maintains that throaty tone up to the last half inch of the sweep and then it turns this losing that throaty grit sound. Loved this video!.
I had such a blast doing this. I can't thank Clappo enough for his late 80s stuff - that was such inspirational music for me. Cheers to Matt & Rabea for letting me crash the show.

You should do a spin off "Sounds Like..." series where you only use the classic vibe Strat and the Marshall DSL40C and try and see how many artists sounds you can come close to.
Yes!
totally!
Anyone
I think Dave Simpson has a series of videos on his channel where he uses an Orange amp to get a bunch of Artists' sounds.
Eric is really basic ,, know what your playing really well ,, superb vibrato , note selection & phrasing & Time ,, you will sound like him no matter what ,, just master those !!!
You're definitely going to need to do a "by busting the bank" for clapton in the future!
psychofmse I second this idea.
psychofmse with all eras of clapton!
Lol, £4000 for a Soldano alone.
This tone ☺️
That'd be awesome
What if one of you guys "busted the bank" while the other stayed on budget as a comparison?
pickledblues they've kinda done that, but not in the same video
I feel like Clapton is a perfect candidate for BY busting the bank
Got to do a Mark Knopfler sounds like!!
ua-cam.com/video/aT4jJ1nCEWY/v-deo.html You are welcome :)
Awesome guys!! I don't know how the hell that one slipped by without me seeing it!!
sean toner the bank is broken just from your suggestion
Just a guitar, without any effects 😊
You owe us a sound like CREAM then...
Yup
Yes please
@@floydharper4653 do it!
Bad Love is such an awesome guitar song. Clapton is a fairly simple player but makes the instrument sing with passion. Can never get enough EC.
The Captain nailed Layla spot on!
Good episode! I think it'd be really cool to do see a *by busting* and *without busting* in the same episode so people can get a feel for the difference these rigs make when trying to get the same tone. Just a suggestion. Cheers!
Oh PS - you guys still wanting to do a redo of John Frusciante?
Sound Mind If I had access to all of that gear. I would do this for free. Let alone do it as a job.
some people do like staring in cameras and talking to themselves....
I feel so sorry for Matt when everyone keeps cutting him off when he tries to speak. Story of my life lol
I love seeing Captain going back to what he loves - classic blues/rock.
Some suggestions
- The Beatles
- Primus
- Van Halen
- ZZ Top
- Chuck Berry
- Aerosmith
- Smashing Pumpkins
- Radiohead
- KISS
- Queen
Andrew Pappas Radiohead
yes!! yes!!!
jordan74 Yeah, Radiohead would be cool. They'd probably need to find a Fender American Standard Telecaster, maybe Vox AC30 and whatever pedals Jonny Greenwood uses (I think he has a pitch shifter for his solo on Paranoid Android but I can't really tell)
I don't think that the American standard could keep them in the budget. Either Mexican or Classic Vibe, depending on the effects budget.
Dodge Hattrup You never know
This was another good choice! But you know why I'm here...
Sound like Johnny Marr!
(It would also be cool to do a proper Sound like The Smiths, since Andy Rourke was an awesome bassist with a unique tone, which was primarily solid state)
You read mind!
12ealDeal yesyesyesyesyes
12ealDeal Marr is essential
I'd love to have a Rabea Bobble Head I could connect to my metronome - would make my sessions much groovier! :P
Lmao
Sound like Mick Mars! Huge tones for a one-guitarist band
That's true!
KnapfordMaster98 yessssss!!!!!
Yes sir! I second that! I'd like to see them do Jake E. Lee. By far the best tone out of Ozzy's guitarists.
pfff, sif better than Rhoads...wake up to yourself son
Looks like u got ur wish

@@larrywharf1583 an sg would be better suited, he only used a les paul fully for fresh cream. Disraeli gears was recorded with the fool sg
Great video, love seeing the Captain here. Would love to hear a Sounds Like Duane Allman! His Fillmore tone is probably the greatest rock tone ever.
You guys NEED to make eddie van halen, with or without busting the bank
I would like to see a, "sound like Zappa."
I also think it would be awesome to do a "Sounds Like Clapton by busting the Bank",obviously featuring The Captain...but I think it would be really nice if either Matt or Rabea did a late '60's era rig and the other one a more Fendery sort of thing...Cheers!!!
Finally. Now do Eric Johnson please.
Yes please
First you need to be able to play Eric Johnson
aidanscovers very true lol
Christian Augustin I've been requesting this one for a while now :/
+aidanscovers ^ He's insane. Some mad pentatonics going on there.
EC is indeed a strat guy now but he was a les paul guy in the beginning and sg. He also used to be a AC-30 back in the old old days. Modified a custom Marshall "bluesbreaker" amplifier too. He favoured the Vox wah. Used a slide on occasian. His strats had a mid boost effect built into his Strats.

I've been watching the Capt play for years anow and every. single. video. he absolutely nails whatever he's playing. I think he's my favorite "not famous" guitar player. Even if you add the famous players, he's still right up there.
Sound like Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead.

Using those has been a revelation, and even better, has enabled me to get that Clapton sound I have been after for so long.
And those pedals cost me just over a hundred quid, secondhand, so that is a much cheaper route to go (even if you buy pedals new), and gives one a much more versatile set up than having to mod a guitar to achieve the sound.
Thanks Captain Lee.

He's the Captain. ;-)
25 db is over 4 times as loud, and about 300 times the power (voltage times current). It's more than putting two Echoplex preamp pedals together (200 times the power).

My god that Sunshine of Your Love tone sounded so good. Really need to get my hands on a classic vibe strat.
Sound like joe bonamassa

***** you could write that under every Sounds like Video. It is in the Fingers, you're right but people want Joe B. tone without busking the bank
maexle01 it's all in the fingers with joe, you need his fingers to get his sound no matter what guitar you use. His rig is super simple when he plays live, two bassmans and two twins with an overrated special and a wah. Oh and a hell of a lot of vintage guitars

Awesome video! I'd love to see you guys do a sound like Derek trucks and Kenny Wayne Shepard
Sounds like:
- Ritchie Blackmore

When I first watched this 8 years ago it confused the heck out of me. I have an EC Strat and the controls are round the other way on the factory bought version…… thanks Lee!
Get Dave Simpson in - the guy knows his onions 🎸🎶🎩👍🏻
Great job Lee! Eric Clapton, David Gilmour and Jimmy Page were my inspirations. Love these videos.
The Beatles, pleaseeee~~~ I love the Beatles as much as Lee loves Clapton
The minute Wonderful Tonight started in the intro, I knew the Captain was playing. Perfect choice. And you got a great tone.
The solo to Bad Love still gets me. Definitely in my top 3 solo's of all time - tone, feel...!
Agreed one of my favourite solos by Clapton
Awesome job as always guys!!! Great choice on getting The Captain in to do this one. Like Rabea said, I couldn't think of anyone else better to do it. Eric Clapton is a sick blues guitar player and so is Lee.
Great vid, can you do a sound like Richie kotzon please
Yes!!! I second this and he has his signature OMG! combined footpedal that could be used!!!
Yes! No plectrums allowed!
James Hartman Absolutely amazing how he can play some of those runs without a pick!!!

Please do a sounds like Motley Crue or Metallica by busting the bank
And megadeth
Caveman Plays they did Metallica already
Will York Music but they haven't do by busting the bank yet,they only did it Without busting the bank
And frank zappa
they did Mick Mars from Motley Crue recently! but if they're doing metallica with unlimited budget
for James: ESP Snakebyte,Truckster or Vulture, Mesa Boogie head and cab or Roland Jazz Chorus, with an overdrive pedal
for Kirk: ESP KH, since they don't stock Randall use either Marshall JVM/JCM or another Mesa Boogie amp, some chorus and the Dunlop kirk Hammett Wah
Agree!!! Going back to what inspired you is an incredible feeling
the Reverend Billy F. Gibbons!!!

Well done guys.
Sound like Deep Purple
Sound like Free
Sound like Jeff Beck
I've listened to alot of clapton and my favorite Clapton tone is the 2005 Cream reunion. It just has the right amount of crunch with the right tone...
Jalan Hart my favourite Clapton was always the early Cream stuff, just at the beginning of his discovery of woman tone, and his SG and Firebird plugged in Marshall stacks. Still love the slowhand stuff though.
Sounds like:
Buckethead
Devin Townsend
Radiohead
The Used
The Cars
Any of those please? :)
DasOmen02 radiohead
Buckethead and Devin Townsend! And is that a Soen album cover I see...?! ;)
i thought that said Pete Townshend for a moment, now i am upseet
but a sound like The Who would be a good video
I agree Bea ,the SG era is best. Great playing by the captain ! that thing does sound good (classic vibe)
Sounds like NOFX! I will comment this until you guys do it just been waitin for the right time

I've had a Blackie signature model and it did it as well.
Haven't watched yet but I'm guessing they're gonna use the classic vibe strat they always do..
Godammit
Hahahaha, you definitely know whats up
Captain really nailed the Clapton touch. Nice playing.
To get his current live tone you need to buy a used Derek Trucks.
I saw tons of the captains videos. But i never recognized him so much as a wonderful Guitar player like in this Video. Great and tasty playing. Thanks!
Sound like rory gallagher? Sound like Joe Walsh? Maybe James Gang era, or Barnstorm era. I'd even be alright with Eagles era Joe Walsh
Thanks a ton for making this vid. Was really helpfully
You guys should do judas priest!
You guys are the absolute BEST anywhere in the World 🌎 God Bless.... has Eric Clapton been to your Shop ??? Robin Trower ????
Hey I've just discovered Robin Trower music a couple of days ago, Where would you recommend to Start my journey?
Fer Ramirez Winterland Concert 1975 You Tube
I met Robin Trower he is friendly and easy to talk with . James Dewar was the bass player and singer and wrote many songs . Take Care God Bless
we need a sound like THE BEATLES
Thats definately the nicest playing I have heard from the Captain. Its like he is at home.
I still want to see:
Aerosmith
The Beatles
Staind
Linkin Park
Bowling for Soup
U2
Third Eye Blind
Beatles and U2 are wayyy to vast
Cap's tone is what I've always been wanting! New goal.
sound like an old deep Purple pls !
Zoso Sound like ritchie blackmore !
SYLVIE FONTAINE Yep !! but an old ritchie blackmore sound, like in the deep Purple's mark 1
Oh.Personaly i prefer the ritchie blackmore in rainbow era ;)
I initially thought that you guys should go for a more current sounding clapton, with the tweed thing going on, because I think Clapton just nailed his tone using that rig. But, to be honest, I think the bassbreaker was the best choice you could have made. It works amazingly well to do the current straty woman tone Clapton does and also the 80s stuff he used to do with the Soldanos and stuff.
Great video. I could watch an even longer one with even more playing. But I think it's just cuz that Clapton tone, and his playing is what made me get real interested on playing guitar.
And there could be a Sound Like Clapton BY busting the bank just to see you guys using something to make that Leslie sound he uses on Badge too. Lol
Cheers!
Sound like Van Halen please !!!
Ritchie Blackmore would be great. I know it's marshall and a strat, but the marshall was custom the aiwa tape recorder that he used was not really a standard petal.
Nice job guys!! And the new guy did a decent job! ;-)
That was a really fun episode. I now realise what makes the "Bad Love" solo tone.
Brilliant! Now how about a Sound Like Brian Setzer w/o Busting The Bank please?
They could stretch to a more expensive guitar in this one but here's my rig
Gretsch G5420 - £786 (since they can't afford a G6120 Brian Setzer Hotrod without busting the bank)
Fender Blues JR III - £565 (since they can't afford a Fender Bassman head and cab on this budget)
TC Electronic Hall of Fame Mini - £85
that should be it since he's not a massive pedal user he only has a tiny bit of reverb and delay so use the amp reverb with a cheap delay pedal and you'll have it
this came in at £1436
That's the Best One yet !! My favourite !! I'm defo getting a Eric Sig !! 🎸
I'm still waiting for you guys to show me how to sound like Van Halen.
Hi guys. i guess I will have to go with the consensus on this one, you need to do a Clapton BY Busting the bank to get the sound for this one. Lee is correct. The Bassbreaker just does not cut it for that Clapton tone, and you'd think it would given how Clapton used Marshalls AND Fenders. But its just too dark. I would have used a Fender Blues Jr with some kind of OD or boost pedal to give it the Clapton sound. Or why in the heck did you not spend some of the budget on a Treble booster...since its rumored that Clapton used one. That may have gotten the BassBreaker into a more Fendery tone and closer to what you hear from Clapton. Either that or a Soldano style OD?
I was kind of shocked, even with the small budget something else was not added to this latest rig(I mean Matt even talked about an EQ pedal! WHY NOT?!?)
I am glad you guys did this since Clapton is one of those artist who does cover a rather huge range guitar and amp wise. Please(Weekly plea) Do Tom Petty and Mike Campbell. Same concept, they cover a large range. But please dont just leave it at "This amp, This Guitar and x pedal".
As always, cheers for the great job
Sound like Grateful Dead please
I love as a Guitarist Eric Capton he's a Awsome Guitarist . And as Guitarist myself he's one my Heroes.
Sound Like John Frusciante by busting the bank or sound like A7X please
Thank you lee, thanks for inviting me (to appear on the channel of the shop I own) lol. Great episode, no one better to appear than the captain.
Sound like Skrillex! You'd have to go shopping for washing machines and blenders tho
Lee is such an amazing blues player!
Eric johnson please
I really want you guys to do a Sound Like Cream! It is just so different to the modern Clapton thing, I think it deserves a go. And right now, with the new range of SGs and the Marshall Studio range, you could do a really cool version of By busting.
Sounds like Synyster Gates ? he has incredible tones in the new album ^^
Matthieu Oliver yes he brought the chops on the new album, much better playing than on previous albuns
what about zacky venegance? he needs to be there too
***** ya definitely, Sounds like A7X would be awesome, Zacky Vengence and Syn pulled out all the stops on the new record
Schecter Synyster Gates Standard
Marshall DSL15C
Boss DD3
and a Cry Baby Wah
William Allison dude is there a comment you haven't replied to ? lmao
I don’t want to hear Lee talk his playing down anymore. This was awesome
SOUNDS LIKE THE EAGLES/SKID ROW
If they had the Dunlop cry baby 535Q Wah, that would have been the perfect pedal that could've achieved the tones since it has a boost circuit in it and especially the 5 way wah voicing switch and the variable Q eq knob circuit the tone bases would be covered, I remember trying the Vox standard Wah and Anderton is right the wah maintains that throaty tone up to the last half inch of the sweep and then it turns this losing that throaty grit sound. Loved this video!.
