I do not belive Slash using anything in the way of distortion pedals. His sound is pure Marshall crunch, all from the amp.In terms of effects, he rarely uses much of those either. A Les Paul will be pretty important for emulating his tone, but he also puts pretty damn heavy strings on his Pauls. I think he uses Ernie Ball RPS Power Slikies which would be 11-48. You probably already know this stuff though.

I have similar equipment as you and was wondering if anyone responded back to you with the settings. I’m also looking for settings of other guitarists as Zakk Wylde, metallica, or Pearl Jam. Thanx, Barry

If your looking for long, long sustain on your notes and chords, then your going to have to wait for your Les Paul as a big part of creating *that* sustain and the GRRRRRR is in the guitar your using, and nothing sustains like a Les 🙂 hope this helps

: Hi im wondering if anybody could help me, im trying to emulate slashs guitar sound and need some help with what effects he use and what settings he uses.

: I currently run a Fender custom shop Ritchie Sambora Strat (I know what your gonna say to this for slash guitar playing, Les Paul Standard with seymores on way when finance alow) through a Marshall SL25555 Slash head and cab. then I use a GE-7 EQ, a crybaby 535 wah and DD-5 Digital delay. does anyone have any good settings for this equipment? and does anyone know what other effects he uses?

: I dont feel the Overdrive is enough, it lacks the real GRRRRRRR! if you not what i mean, long sustaining notes and chords etc, they seem to fade to quickly. But I dont want to stick a metalzone pedal on and have tones of feedback and buzz. does anyone know if he uses any over distortion apart from standard amp?

: Cheers ,

Hey dave, I don’t know if this will help but, in the november 2000 issue of guitar one magazine, they laid out slash’s setup as this: He uses a Nady 950 GT wireless to send the signal to a rackmounted Dunlop Cry Baby. From there, a Bradshaw Custom Audio electronics A/B box allows a choice of "dirty rig" or "clean rig". The dirty rig is comprised of two Marshall JCM "Slash" model heads, each powering a JCM "Slash" model 4 x 12 cabinet housing Celestion Vintage 30s. ONe head’s effects loop contains a Boss GE-7 graphic equalizer pedal (set to a midrange peak) a Boss DD-3 digital delay pedal, and a Rocktron Hush 2CX stereo noise gate.

The clean rig uses two more "Slash" JCMs modified with KT88 tubes for more clean headroom. One heads loop contains a Yamaha SPX900 effects processor and a DBX 166 stereo compressor / gate.

Good Luck
