Not only that, but theres also a blues driver pedal that boss makes, that works really well.

I too, personally love the Neck and the Bridge, but the bridge is best on my guitar. It gives me a much bluesier sound then the middle but the neck is about the same, if only i could play on higher gaged strings i would sound like SRV.. My advice is that the neck pickup is the best way to go if you play SRV (or at least a singlecoil pickup). Try some 0.11 or 0.12 strings and tune them a halfstep down. THis will give you some "balls" but it is not enough to sound like SRV. He had some great chops and you must learn that also. Start with Muris`s In the style of SRV lesson. Nice and easy chops are explained there very efectively. AS far as the sound on the amp, SRV used tube Fenders, but had a TS for boosting. You can emulate that by going on some crunch on your amp, and pick as heavely and precisely as you can on the strings. If you do use a neck pickup play with eq settings. Treble musn`t be too low because the neck is bassy by nature allready. No effects in the blues, maybe some reverb here and there but try to play it loud and crunchy and off course get in that groove. SRV had a great groove felling and he was a fantastic rhythm player also. Try some of his scraching rhythm technique to really dig his style. Clapton is another story, he often likes to use 2 and 4 positions and often middle and treble for leads. Using around standard to light gauge strings, he would dig in the to strings also, but not as heavely as SRV, and he didn`t have that scrachting sound. He plays very very clearly and with a great sence of melody. His chops are distictive and realatively easy to learn (but difficult to replicate in others solos) involving great interval slides, perfect chording and off course world famous blues licks among other things. He often uses the same setting on the amp, slightly dirty an trebly for leads, and ussualy rolls off the volume for clean.
