Rick Landers: You have been Eric Clapton’s guitar technician for over twenty years. How did your relationship begin and how would you characterize it?
LEE DICKSON: It’s been 24 going on 25 years. It began in Japan in December 1979. As to our relationship, Eric is first and foremost my employer and we have a friendship that exists within that relationship. It’s my job. It’s not like he’s someone I hang out with.
Rick: What type of work do you do typically perform on his guitars and does it include repairs?
LEE: I’ll do on-the-road repairs and stuff, such as occasional re-frets when the guitar needs it. If the gear is something particularly delicate and old, there are people on the road I use for different things.
Rick: Do you have any assistants or are you a “one man show”?
LEE: No, it’s just me.

Title pritty much describes what im askin. If it helps my amp is the one with tons of pre-sets.
I'm pretty sure Brian used VOX amps. Is the Spider III a modeling amp? If so look for something like a VOX AC-30 model with a lot of over drive. If it is not a modeling amp I doubt that you will emulate his sound with it.
The two best I fouund were the Marshall 100 watt and the Randall half stack.
I don't mind what the manurfacturer it is or if it's a bit over £200 but not from ebay.
