I'm listening to The Crossroads by clapton on the radio right now and I'm trying to breakdown the setup based on what I hear.
I really think the fuzz is a sola sound tonebender damn it sounds good. Fucking Clapton is awesome If I could play that well I'd be rich.

My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

Erm.... he played it on a red Gibson SG. He used 100 watt Marshall heads and 4X12 speaker cabinets. He had the set up running through a Vox wah-wah, on but not pumped, and a Dallas Arbiter fuzz.
ah, that's where the mids came in then, half cocked wah. Very nice fuzz face. I thought he played selmers in the cream era?
Makes sense it would be a plexi though. Nice tone. It sounds so much like a tonebender. Very dark smooth fuzz face. Must have something to do with the interaction with the vox.
Clapton also used the Cry Baby: people argue whether the wah-wah on "Tales of Brave Ulysses" uses a doctored Cry Baby or a Vox. The Cry Baby came on the market in August 1967 - it was Zappa who introduced Hendrix to the pedal - and the Vox soon followed.
Yeah that was back in the Thomas Organ Company days of the Crybaby, and The Vox Clyde McCoys as well as others.
Roger Mayer makes sense.
Clapton also had a few of the Dallas Rangemasters as well I think but that could have been earlier with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers
i just read an old dave grohl interview. they asked him about amp settings and he said the same thing.
