Members RaVenCAD Posted April 11, 2008 Members Share Posted April 11, 2008 Did you get the talent pellets in the case? It's a little box, sort of like this: You pop one, or two, or ten and you'll sound just like Clapton.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted April 11, 2008 Members Share Posted April 11, 2008 Besides... this is what you need to play and sound EXACTLY like ol' Clap. They run about $100 here in The States, so it should cost you about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jayers Posted April 11, 2008 Members Share Posted April 11, 2008 Yeah, and the Clapton sig Martin isn't any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted April 11, 2008 Members Share Posted April 11, 2008 Yeah, and the Clapton sig Martin isn't any better. I tell you what... and I don't mean to be hatin on Martin and I'd never hate on Clapton, but one of my local GCs has that lighter colored Clapton sig Martin and I swear, it feels outstanding, and it's probably one of the least vibrant sounding guitars that costs over $1000 at that location. Last time I was in there, it was hanging right next to a 1972 or 1974 D28 that was less than $2,000 that sounded LITERALLY 10 times better. It was like going from a $130 laminated Yamaha to a Larrivee or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it down and picked up a J45, and that was awesome. But now this is starting to sound like the Acoustic Guitar forum..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most reviewers love the Belleza Clapton Martins (000-ECHF) (particularly the original issue in black, less so the second issue in white). Whether they're worth the ~$5000 street price is another question, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members inkblot Posted April 11, 2008 Members Share Posted April 11, 2008 Not been checking the exchange rates lately? AFAIK most American guitar stuff still costs more in pounds there than it does it USD here, although perhaps a cheap pedal would be different.

Members cratz2 Posted April 12, 2008 Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 this pedal is crap, if you really want a general clapton sound, you need a good chorus, maybe a leslie emulator, and a nice tubescreamer and tube amp. Ya mean that $100 pedal alone won't make me sound exactly like a strung out herion junkie playing through $100,000 of vintage gear? Damn the false advertising.

Damn the false advertising. I'm just trying to say that you shouldn't just tell someone to buy a pedal like that, because a person might just go a head and buy it without looking at reviews or anything. The better thing to have said would have been there's a clapton pedal that captures some of his basic sounds, but if you could probably get his sound better with a $400 guitar and a few basic stomp pedals.
