Crossroads… SEVEN
signature tones from guitar legend
Eric Clapton.
n conjunction with Eric Clapton,
I
we have helped recreate some of his
most famous tones in a DigiTech® Crossroads Artist Series pedal by applying our new
Production Modeling™ technology.
The revolutionary technology was designed to
help reproduce the studio and live sounds and
effects of an artist as heard on their recordings.
This includes modeling the speaker cabinets,
microphones with their placement, pre/post
effects, and the recording engineer’s magic
all in one pedal.
If you’re a
Slowhand fan or
just want to add
some amazing
new tones to your
sound arsenal,
Crossroads is
a must-have
pedal. 6

“Sunshine of Your Love” Eric achieved his now
infamous “woman tone” by running his amps as hot and
loud as possible, rolling back the tone control on his SG
MODEL
and engaging his wah-wah to a xed position.
“Crossroads” A pivotal moment in Eric’s career,
“Crossroads” was penned by Robert Johnson, Eric’s most
MODEL
important guitar inuence. Its electried delta blues
form evolved from Eric’s days with the Bluesbreakers.
“Badge” Eric used a rotating Leslie™ organ speaker
for the swirling guitar breaks between the verse and
chorus. This sound was achieved by overdriving the
MODEL
amplier within the Leslie and by strategically placing two
microphones around the rotating speakers and panning their
signals into a stereo eld. .
“Layla”
Eric’s most recognized guitar riff and song
feature him on “Brownie,” his Fender® Strat™ guitar,
through a tweed Fender® Champ™ amplier.
MODEL
“Lay Down Sally” is a country style shufe
featuring Eric and George Terry in a counterpoint
guitar duet.
MODEL
“Layla” (Acoustic) A pivotal moment in Eric’s
career was his live acoustic performance on the MTV™
television series “Unplugged”. This setting transforms
MODEL
your electric guitar signal into Eric’s vintage acoustic heard
on this performance.
“Reptile”, Eric’s title track on his 2001 release
“Reptile” features a classic Gibson® L-5 jazz guitar
played through his custom Cornell tweed combo.
MODEL
Some chorusing and reverb were added during mixdown.
