conversational so it may be a dumb question. im familiar with the setup clapton used at the 2005 reunion shows with cream. that particular brand of distortion - so clear yet burning, is there a pedal that can do that at low volumes. i can't turn this stuff up where i live, arrested is what i think they call what would happen to me. but i can't get enough of the way the notes and chords rang and burned on that recording. possiblities? im newer to gear, just have a 08 standard strat and epi valve jr head and extension cab 12" speaker. and it friggin loud for 5 watts! :D

Not sure and I myself haven't heard anything from that. If you can post a youtube clip or something to make that tone you're looking for easier to find, you might get more responses to this.

Try one of the Damage Control pedals that uses twin tubes (Womanizer) is a good one. :wink:

I've had pretty good luck with using a power attenuator. It plugs into the effects loop of your amp and allows you to run it at full volume (or however loud you want) to overdrive the tubes. You adjust the volume coming out of the speakers by turning it up or down.
