sorry, i just have read all of the "mystique" about clapton over the years. stuff said that is just plain silly..."he locked himself in a room with ONLY a guitar for a MONTH". who HASN'T done that? especially if you didnt have a day job. yes, also he pretty much did have unlimited funds...my point was there was really no other way to go but marshall back then. they were the only good amps you could get in england. and they were relatively inexpensive by todays standards.
