    Clapton's Twins. High or Low Power?

    Eric has been using his tweed Twin Amps, made for him by Fender, for many years now. Does anybody know if these are based off the high or low power Twin Amp circuits?

    I Believe they are the low power... Bonamassa plays the high power ones...

    Thanks. I did find an article talking about Eric's '57 high-powered Twin. I found another saying that he did not want to take his "prized Twins" on the road and commissioned Fender to build him 3 replicas. It didn't mentioned whether they were high or low powered ones.

    His original was a low power that Cesar Diaz converted to High power adding two power tubes and solid state rectification. He used 135 watt ultra linear transformers out of a late '70s Twin Reverb. I don't know what Fender did in the Twinolux amps that I think Eric is using now.
