J-200 Koa Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I was fortunate enough to see Eric Clapton last week at the Royal Albert Hall. When he started his acoustic set, his guitar tech plugged in two cables into two separate end pin jacks. Since I know nothing about guitar electronics, can someone shed some light on his amplification set up? Here is a video to explain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOydnUdfmqs&list=FLxlzYfnCEB6IR-rw9QhQmOQ&index=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinder Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Clapton uses Carlos Juan pickups, which are "a status symbol, the Rolls Royce" of pickups, according to Mr Juan's website. The marketing spiel sounds like a load of arse, but Clappo does have a pretty sweet plugged in tone, it has to be said.

Jinder Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Carlos' "status symbol" pickups sound like snake oil to me. How is an invisible electronic component a symbol of status? My "status symbols" are my 19yr old car and the fact I only own one pair of trousers without a hole in them 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
