How can I sound like Eric Clapton?

0	What equipment do I need to buy to sound like Eric Clapton did in the 60's. Specifically, I would like to reproduce the full rounded out bluesy tone that he had in John Mayall and the Blues Breakers. clapton sound gear asked 13 Feb '10, 02:55 Asaph ♦♦ 681●7●8●12 accept rate: 8%

1	Clapton played a Les Paul in the Bluesbreakers. And according to wikipedia he used a standard Marshall amp. So there you go, guitar straight into amp, volume cranked. link answered 04 Jun '10, 03:11 Chris 71●4 accept rate: 0%
