What amp is Clapton currently playing thru?

Dominik	What amp is Clapton currently playing thru? I saw some great footage from a concert that Clapton played in Japan in late 1999. He seems to be playing through some sort of Boutique amp. Looks like a 2*12" configuration tweed amp. He controls the degree of overdrive solely with his guitar controls. The amp cleans up nicely but seems to fart out when heavily distorted. Then on some songs he uses either a 147 or 122 Leslie cabinet. I guess the signal that drives the Leslie comes from the above mentioned amp. If anyone knows what brand Clapton plays I would be glad to know. Best Regards, Dominik
