Joe is the reason I picked up the guitar.

I agree with Santana too - he's kinda the supper treble or super no treble, nothing in between.

As for Clapton-I agree with everything you said-but the guy can still revert back to classic, good Clapton tone when he chooses I guess. Here is an example.

I think it's the same guitar-different era with what could have become a great band.

YouTube - John Lennon, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton and Mitch Mitchel

This is the first time I can say Clapton impressed me. No small coincidence he was playing a Gibson. I've been looking for a reason to give Clapton another try. This might be it. I bought "Timepieces" many years ago but just couldn't get into him at the time. I think that was the only album I ever just gave away because I didn't like it.
