Sunshine of your love amp settings — Marshall MG15GR
The Cream guitar tone for “Sunshine of your love”, dialed in for a Marshall MG15GR with a Fender American Ultra Telecaster. Studio version, Disraeli Gears (1967) - iconic main riff & 'Woman Tone' solo
1964 Gibson SG ('The Fool') into a cranked 100W Marshall JTM-100 / 1959 Super Lead stack (no dirt pedals)
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 6 |
| Bass | 7 |
| Mid | 8 |
| Treble | 4 |
| Reverb | 2 |
| Master | 5 |
Clapton cranked a tube Marshall JTM-100 into power-amp breakup with guitar tone rolled to zero. On your solid-state MG15GR, the Overdrive channel with Gain at 6 supplies the necessary sustain without getting fizzy, while boosting Mid to 8 and rolling Treble to 4 compensates for your Telecaster's brighter, lower-output single coil versus Clapton's humbuckers (note: presence is null as the MG15GR panel lacks this knob).
