Hi,
I measured with Sciloscop and Db reader the Clspton signature Stratocaster to 100 Db boost. First the dcikoscop then I took the Clspton signature Stratocaster and measured it to a normal Stratocaster on the Clean channel with the absolute lowest setting I could. The Clapton signature Stratocaster immidiately hit the roof of the amp with 120 decibel. With the normal Stratocaster I had to work hard to get it to 20 Decibrl and that was it. I even took out my les Paul and it to I had to work hard with to finally get it into 20 decibel. That means that the Clapton signature Stratocaster with vintage Noiceless Stacked Humbuckers has at least 100 Db boost as it hit the roof of the amp imodiately. I took it to a guitar tech that opened the active cuircuit. He Said the Clapton signature Stratocaster uses transistor violtage boodt the most effective voltage boost that exists and it could with that set up easily voltage boost 100 000 volts. 100 Db boost on a 150 mv Stratocaster pick up means it has at least 15 000 volt output. At least is because it hit the good of the amp with 120 decibels it could have gone higher. Thats why you cant play it on the distorted channel because there is no way the amp Will let that powerful signal in it would destroy the amp immidiately instead it does not take any of the signal in and it does not matter if you are on 0 or 10 + mid boost you Will have the same volume that of a normal amp. I realised even the Clean channel would break after a while so I lowered the volume a lot. When it was at 120 + decibels the Clean channel got distorted. Then it started to complain and I had to lower the volume. Easily the most powerful guitar in the world the Clapton signature Stratocaster with Vintage Noiceless Humbuckers. The active cuircuit was filled with cascaded Gransidtors a descrete op amp topology and other transistors all with collectors and resistors for the transistor voltage boodt.
 
OK now it's a 15,000 volt output.
Might as well go 12480, use ceramic insulators and a blast shield.
