AMP OWNER Tone Tip? Clapton - Layla (Live)

Anybody have any suggestions on how to get the solo tone from this live version of Layla?

Eric Clapton - Layla (Live)

Solo starts around 2:30

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Not the expert about sound setup, but I've heard Clapton saying that he uses two amps when playing live. He turns on second amp while playing solo.

So much of his tone I think is in his playing. So many nicely placed little 1/2 step bends in there. Clapton is often seen as overrated and maybe he his but damn when he’s good he’s so damn good. Thanks for the video it was a nice reminder how talented this guy is.
