MODEL 2.
“Crossroads”, Cream – Wheels of Fire, Live at the Fillmore (1968)
A pivotal moment in Eric’s career is the track “Crossroads”
from Cream’s live 1968 recording
Wheels of Fire, Live at the
Fillmore
. “Crossroads” was penned by Robert Johnson, Eric’s
most important guitar influence. Its electrified delta blues
form evolved from Eric’s days with the Bluesbreakers to the
power rock blues version heard on this performance. This
song features Eric’s famous soloing work that is still talked
about today.
CNTRL 1 adjusts the amount of distortion
gain.
CNTRL 2 adjusts the overall tone.
MODEL 3.“Badge”, Cream
–
Goodbye (1969)
For the song “Badge”, Eric used a rotary organ speaker
cabinet to get the swirling guitar effect heard in the breaks
between the verse and chorus. This sound was achieved by
overdriving the amplifier and by strategically placing two
microphones around the rotating speakers. These mic signals
were then panned in a stereo field. For this
MODEL,
connect both the
OUT 1 (AMP) and OUT 2 (MIXER)
outputs into two different amps or two channels of a mixer
