MODEL 1.“Sunshine of Your Love”, Cream –
Disraeli Gears (1967)
Perhaps one of Eric’s best known songs from the Cream
years is “Sunshine of Your Love”. Eric achieved his now
infamous “woman tone” on “Sunshine” in a rather
unconventional manner. He began with running his amplifiers
as hot and loud as possible. He then rolled back the tone
control on his SG and engaged his wah-wah to a fixed
position. The midrange/treble boost from the wah
compensated for the lack of tone from the SG.
MODEL 1
models this effect using the CNTRL 1 and CNTRL 2 knobs
to adjust the amount of distortion gain and tone respectively.
