If you want to build an improved version of this circuit, here is a drawing by my dear friend Bernd C. Meiser from the BSM company. It features two additional resistors (R5 as a pull-down resistor to prevent popping noises when turning the booster on, and R6 to avoid RF interferences), a different transistor, and some changed part values to make it sound more tube-like.
I think when Clapton got in to it there was a kind of "loudness war" going on with guitar players stage sounds. Don't know if that had anything to do with it?
Bit like the rangemaster thing.
In other words, he didn't want anyone to know that he was using fx.
