I have a Mesa Boogie Fillmore 50 and today I finally got my hands on my dream Strat, the Eric Clapton Arist Edition. Admittedly, I haven't ever spent a lot of time fiddling with knobs on a guitar, but I'd really like to get that warm, mellow, slow blues sound that Clapton is know for on songs like Driftin'.

Any tips you can provide on where I should position the knobs on the guitar to get close to that sound would be appreciated. I will test and try out some things myself, but given that the toggle switch can also affect tone I'd hoped that someone here might've already found some great settings.

Thanks.
