pretty sure the tweed Fender is his. Looks like the KPA belongs to whoever was playing the gorgeous PRS P22 ?
-
Clapton is passed the "one-guitar-one-amp rodeo" days, I bet he had a big amount of gear going around, so all his secondary sets might be on the kemper. That, or its a second guitar´s rig for the other in the band.
-
Anyone noticed that the Profiler only has a CAB active in the STACK section? No amp profile.

I’d be shocked if Clapton plays anything but tubes. It’s be very cool if he did use a KPA. Seeing one used to back him up is really cool as well.

It's not a backup for Clapton.
The Profiler in the picture was used by Geoff Whitehorn (Procol Harum) who participated in this gig "Music for Marsden".

I think he has actually gone full circle and has been a one guitar (Clapton Signature Strat) and one amp guy for some time now. The days of his big rack with Soldanos etc are hind him now. They actually auctioned off his Soldano rig from the 24 Nights period a few years back, I wish I had had the cash to buy that rig ?

Unfortunately, In order get his sound I'd need enough money to buy the rig and the man.

Are you are proposing kidnapping ?

Yes, that's Geoff's KPA and PRS. He's the one who convinced me (over drinks) to move up to the Kemper early in 2013. He even traded some of his H & K Switchblade profiles he uses with Procol Harum with me. (And Gary Brooker (Procol's composer/vocalist) is one of Clapton's best friends, so it must be Whitehorn's).

Didn't know what the gig was or that Geoff was playing. Geoff also played with Roger Waters, Paul Rogers and many others over the years. Great player.

Nah, we probably wouldn't get on too well in that situation . Just pointing out the obvious - I estimate the rig is only responsible for about 20% of his sound. Some people just have magical-er fingers than others.

Possibly for playing the Piezo on the P22

Back him up. Not backup for him.
