Can anyone help me with the appropriate presets for any Eric Clapton songs? I have a Fender cyber twin SE amp.
Thanks

You don't need that much... A preset with a overdriving Tweed amp (ideally Champ for recording tone, Twin for live tone) , your Start on pos 2 or 3 with the tone roll back. Go from clean to lead with your guitar volume pot

To me, his Strat tones with a Fender Champ, Fender Dual Showman, MusicMan HD130, Soldano SLO, Fender Tweed Twin are all distinctively different. Plus his Strat into a Marshall Plexi driving a Leslie speaker.

And then passive Brownie & Blackie vs active Signature Strat.
-----------------
Since the question is Clapton tones from a Cyber Twin, we can't really assume Strat. Yardbirds Tele (into an AC30?), Bluesbreakers Les Paul into a Marshall 1962 combo, Cream Les Paul/SG/Firebird/ES335 into a Marshall JTM 45/100, etc etc.
-------------------
His Marshall tones were usually everything on 10 except for the bass on zero. No idea how he set Fenders, MusicMans, or Soldanos.

Doesn't it also depend on which era of Clapton songs (and tone) you are after?

In that case, Fender Tweed Champ rules ;-)

yeah his early tone was way different. If you listen to the tone in the live version of "crossroads", he's almost in AC/DC high gain territory at that time. His sound mellowed over the years to a nice creamy smooth overdrive. Would help to have a song example OP is trying to emulate.
