On this episode we discuss the origins of the fabled Les Paul into Marshall tone that so many have coveted. That sound begins with a young Eric Clapton, a 1960 Les Paul into a Marshall JTM45 2x12 combo and a whole new way of recording guitar in studio. We will discuss all of this as well as this album's lasting legacy and impact of blues and blues rock guitar tone to this very day.
