This is the long awaited "Beano on a Budget" video. I promised this when I put on the video "The Beano Album: A Short History". I go over the components of the tone and then we build a few different rigs to get those classic Clapton's Gibson into a Marshall tones. This was a very fun project and we'll be doing more videos where at least some of the gear being used is more entry level. It feels like it is a least part of the "most music from the least gear" mantra.
I was very lucky and privileged to work closely with Jeff McErlain on this one. If you haven't subscribed to his YouTube channel yet or, checked out his lessons on Truefire, I highly recommend it.

4:29 Secret to the Beano Tone: A british engineer in a tie, smoking a cigarette next to a 60s multitrack tape recorder.
-
Great breakdown of the intricacies of tone. It’s not just the guitar, amp and pedals, it’s everything in the recording chain. Excellent video Hypes!
-
As always, thanks for having me involved in this Keith!!
-
Everyone needs to see this. So many guys chasing a particular tone never take into account how much a guitar sound can change from “in the room” to “on the recording.” It’s a lot easier to replicate a live tone.
-
Keith, you truly are a credit and a blessing to our hobby and interest. Every single video you create has such obvious care and love.
-
I've spent the lockdown learning how to build tube amps. I've just finished converting a thin, noisy Hayden pcb-mounted EL84 amp into a turret-board hand-wired brownface Princeton 6G2. The bias-vary tremolo is gorgeous, and the amp is very nearly noise free. It's very satisfying, playing through gear you've made, especially when it sounds good! I'd recommend anyone to learn... I was certainly no electrical engineer when I started! If I can do it, anyone can.
-
I heard Fleetwood Mac live in 69. I always thought that sound came closest to Clapton's. So ,in my chase for Beano tone, I'd start with Greenie style pick-ups. I know many will disagree, but that's how I heard it.
-
I see the letter Eric wrote to Marshall re. payments on the amp shows Clapton's address as 25 Ladbroke Square, London W11. Amazingly, that's only 400 yards from the house on Lansdowne Crescent where Jimi Hendrix died 50 years ago yesterday.
-
Sold my Origins 20c and regretted in immediately. Two months later bought another one and won’t let that happen again. For the money nothing competes for me.
-
I'm a metal guitar player, I pretty much exclusively play modern guitars and high gain tones. You and your channel though, you've really got me insterested in the "softer" side of things as well. Super interesting stuff here, and the way you present the info is almost a meditative experience for me haha. Consider me addicted!
-
That letter from Clapton is why I watch this channel. The fact that you unearth stuff like that just puts an already amazing production over the top for me. Thank you guys at 5 Watt for all that you do to share this most important history with us!! Rock on!
-
I own a PRS SE Zach Myers vintage sunburst that I swapped out the stock pickups with Duncan '59's, works great for clean and crunch! And plays fantastic!!
-
Keith, I believe your channel is extremely underrated, your content is great and very helpful. Keep on keeping on brother!
-
The Origin clip with Jeff sounds wonderfull and nails it to my old ears.
-
Jeff's R9 Les Paul through the Origin 20 nailed it. These videos on Beano are really enjoyable, many thanks!
-
You and Johan are the best guitar channels on YouTube
-
Love your videos Keith! Keep them coming.
-
The Origin sounds great. Though no longer in production, the Marshall Vintage Modern combo would also be worth checking out. It’s based on a jtm amp but with some ‘extras’. Second hand they’re not too expensive and sound killer, full of kt66 goodness.
-
Jeff really nails the old. Clapton sound and playing style. It's one of my all time favorites. I'm a regular viewer of 5 Watt. Thank you for your videos.
-
Your videos and channel are revolutionary. Finally a serious and academic analysis of Rock N Roll history and someone who actually knows what they’re doing.
