Sunshine of Your Love
The best-known illustration of Clapton's 'woman tone.' On Cream's Sunshine of Your Love (Disraeli Gears, May 1967, Atlantic Studios), Clapton played his 1964 Gibson SG Standard — the famous Fool-painted SG — through a 1966 Marshall JTM45/100 head into a single Marshall 1960B 4x12. The amp's passive tone controls were pushed to 10, the master and channel volumes were at or near 10 for natural compression, and the guitar's tone control was rolled down to bring out the fat, honking midrange that defines the riff.
