What makes the White Room part tricky
vibrato & bends, woman-tone neck-pickup control. GuitarToneAdapt gets the tone right so you can focus on the playing.
Note: White Room is Cream-era SG into a cranked Marshall with a wah pedal doing the signature vocal sweep on the intro and solo. Neck/bridge pickup, tone rolled back for warmth., Clapton plugged into the Marshall Super 100 NORMAL channel (not the bright/high-treble input) and set the amp EQ high, leaning on midrange and warmth. These 0-10 values translate that cranked-amp + dark-guitar approach; dial by ear — the rolled-off neck-pickup tone is the whole trick., Settings are community-researched starting points, not official recall sheets.
