He thinks the "'Clapton woman tone" early in the song is a wah in one position, and the later tone is the wah in the opposite. I thought it was the bridge pup on, and then both pups of equal volume out of phase. So to answer, was Green using a wah pedal in 1/69 just for effect control??? I think my friend's head would explode if he realized it was just a Gibson Les Paul with a reverb box into an first gen. Orange amp. I need an answer before the end of next week.
I believe it starts with the neck p.u., then as you say, goes into both p.u.'s equal volume but out of phase. Second part of the solo just the bridge p.u. Last solo (up-temo) just the bridge p.u. again.

Anybody (dis)agree?
