Joe's Jtm 45 Bluesbreaker circa 1996 and 2009

Hey Guys I recently saw a few videos of Joe Playing through what seems to be a blues breaker combo, but he gets the fattest overdriven tone out of it. It sounds like he is running the amp clean and he is using either a ts 808 or a tube driver pedal in front of it. It's a really nice tone very clapton/beck like and i would just like to know a little more about how he gets this sound. Here are some clips (2009) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq5if-kVrms

You're the man Joe!!!
