Guitar Sound Question

[swlabr]

I don't know much about guitars so don't bash me on this one. Well, I was listening to Cream's "White Room" and I was wondering what's a certain sound Clapton makes and how it is done. It sounds kinda funny & beepy. It's around 2:45 into the song Also, how did he get the guitar to sound so distorted. It's a real cool sound. I uploaded the song in case you havent heard it. I dont care if its official Cream - White Room Thanks guys B)
