Disraeli Gears Woman Tone — Riff & Solo
Eric Clapton recorded the song with his 1964 “The Fool” SG into a 1966 Marshall JTM45/100 and one Greenback-loaded 4x12, with no effects. Guitar World documents the amp controls at 10 and both guitar tone controls at 1; the backing track uses the bridge pickup and the solo switches to the neck pickup.

Notes
Do not add a fuzz pedal. The vocal quality comes from the rolled-off guitar tone, a fully opened Marshall tone stack and loud power-amp compression.
