The LAYLA (461 Ocean Blvd) Setup



I go through musical phases. This winter has been the Layla and 461 Ocean Blvd. phase. I have owned the Layla sessions box set for a while and recently ebayed the 461 Ocean Blvd. re-release (with outtakes and a live performance from the same time). I've read interviews with producer Tom Dowd and Clapton and determined some of the of the recordings were done with a Fender Twin set with the Treble down, Mid up and the Bass down. I've read tertiary accounts of a Fender Champ being used.
















I wanted to get the tone and sound of those two albums. I used the '66 Fender Bandmaster, Peavey Classic 50, 1989 '57 Reissue Stratocaster, Ibanez UE405 Multi Effects Processor (analog)
