In Reply to: SLASH'S AMP/EFFECTS SETTINGS?????? posted by David Knights on March 29, 2001 at 05:54:15:
: 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 ,
: Dave
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
