This is the long awaited "Beano on a Budget" video. I promised this when I put on the video "The Beano Album: A Short History". I go over the components of the tone and then we build a few different rigs to get those classic Clapton's Gibson into a Marshall tones. This was a very fun project and we'll be doing more videos where at least some of the gear being used is more entry level. It feels like it is a least part of the "most music from the least gear" mantra.

I was very lucky and privileged to work closely with Jeff McErlain on this one. If you haven't subscribed to his YouTube channel yet or, checked out his lessons on Truefire, I highly recommend it.
