I actually think some of his best music is from the 'drunk' period anyway...

Gonna try the mid boost thing with my BB preamp
solid is a good descriptor!...
I like the Blind Faith Hyde Park performance. Look up Can’t Find My Way Home on YouTube. Lovely playing - not just on the solo. Wonderful tone from his Strat necked Telecaster. There’s a band that should have lasted longer. He quit which I think he now regrets.
Led Zep though were shit (to me) unless you like a bloke playing a guitar with a bow and a screeching banshee ruining most songs..........*puts on hard hat and runs away*
Lots of people have said why he's considered one of the greats, they just haven't convinced you.
What do you want, some pseudo-scientific YouTube videos and a series of guitarist-comparison stats?
Personal taste is one thing, a legacy that lasts for decades is another entirely.
Yes, these are solid state amps.

To be fair most of Clapton's work I wouldn't listen to either but Bluesbreakers is superb to my ears.
If you want that sort of sound but more controllable and much easier to find, a late-70s/early-80s Peavey with the coloured knobs and the 'Saturation' control is cheap, and very reliable.

I love some of his Yardbirds stuff on the Tele - cleanish with almost a country tinge. Bluesbreakers - yep I like it and can see why it was so groundbreaking at the time. I prefer Peter Green though. Cream - ok but a bit bombastic. After that - no interest
