That's the wonderful thing about playing on the big stages...you CAN turn up a 100 watt Marshall to achieve those amazing tones. Most guitar players will never play on a stage big enough to turn up a 100 watter to make it useful.

What an awesome job
I love how in EVERY one of these rig rundowns they ignore Slash's compressor settings, tone may be in the hands, but a compressor is what captures that before the amp!. The compressor is the secret weapon in Slash's tone, its a complete lie that he only used it on the clean amps in the Use Your Illusions Era, he uses it all the time and never stopped.
Amazing video dude! Thanks!

I want that job!! Awesome!
great review.
To the people who said slash was "lazy" about not operating his own gear. Pedal's are a huge pain in the ass if like most musicians use them for 5 seconds of the song. Instead of thinking "ok in 30 seconds I gotta switch on and switch back" you can just lose yourself in playing. My lead guitarist brought his pedals to sound check and the sound guy was getting pissed off, Had to tell him just to keep it simple. Unless you have a tech, other then WAH I don't bother.

I worked a Pink Foyd show some years back. Got to work with the monitor engineer most of the day because of my audio knowledge wiring the stage and microphones. Gilmore's guitar tech had around 100 pedals all st up on something similar to a train table. lol..lots of the same pedals but just in different loops. Gilmore's [pedal board had about 18 stomo switches on it that were simply labeled with the songs name.

Didn't know Vin Diesel's working as Slash's guitar tech!
It's a replica of the '87 standard he broke in rehearsal, I was just surprised that his tech didn't seem to know it was a Murphy aged pretend break.
Ive been trying to get SRV's tone and have givin up and by givinbg up, Ive grown extremely fond of Slash's tone, especially the lead sound in November Rain era stuff . .... Ive gotten close with a Les Paul w/ Dimarzio super distortion in the neck & a Jcm800 ... His tone & style of playing really lets the notes speak. ........ Its someone talking hyper & fast vs someone talking calmly .
@cjenson72

Dimarzio Super Distortion is too hot.. you need a lower output pickup to get that sweet creamy tone.
It's the red one he's playing slide on, I seen him play it live, and he's playin the USA model, you can see his signature on the headstock.
The sign in the back doe.Loll!
What a pro
even his guitar tech has an awesome name
Thanks for the walk though, exactly what I was looking for.
4:00 Look at all the sweat over the guitar. Amazing.
2:36 MADE MY DAY!
Thanks.
Nice
Guitar tech memorize all songs slash playing
This is my dream job
pretty cool guy.
the truth is.. the true tone that is coming out is not from our gears.. but from our fingers.. agree with this guy

speaking of setups what do you think of my setup? Amp: Fender Frontman 212R Guitar: Fender Chris Shiflett Telecaster Deluxe Electric Guitar - Arctic White Distortion: MXR Custom Badass '78 Distortion
love the gig, love the guy, love the sound.... love the salary
Actually I think the prototype he mentions is a new red Les Paul that's supposedly is coming out in 2013 and he's been road testing it. Premier guitar did an article on Slash's 2012 touring gear and they show that guitar along with his other guitars and equipment
The prototype les paul he was talking about, unless u havent been paying attention, is the corsa rostra/vermillion. The vermillion is his, in aces words, slide guitar. The very sexy red les paul
Cool :D I use two delay boxes, a Boss DD-2 and a Behringer Echo Machine. I never would've guessed that i use a piece of equipment that is more vintage than Slash', he uses a DD-3.
The song in the beginning is called Slash - Anastasia^^
Yeah Vin Diesel!!
Lol I like the warning sign!
haha the note in the guitar vault! :D
2:13 : "We have a new prototype we're working on I can't show you .." I can't wait to discover their next signature guitar please !
От 2:02 is must be also a VOS replica...Slash answered on Twitter that original `88 Guns Standart is also kept in storage..
nice
Interesting that he runs the delay in front instead of an FX's loop. I know the 800's didn't have one and I'm not sure on his sig heads having a loop, but it's still interesting...
He can barely refrain from grinning when he mentions that the amps are unmodified ahaha
cant wait for what his new les paul will be!
This would be my dream job.

I'm a big G'n'R fan and Slash is one of my favourite guitarists and influences, but does he still have the BC Rich Mockingbird he used to play?
I like how he says: We have some prototypes, don't know if i can show you. Next second: do we care about the law? no.
well, i'm from germany and we have a verry big store for guitars n other stuff in frankfurt am main. and they have great connections to gibson usa and some times they order some special guitars, produced up to about 25 or so and one of their own customs is a '58/'59 les paul that has almost the same specs.so be sure to check teh channal of sessionmusictv and search for the ultimate stinger guitar. p.s. sorry for some grammar or spalling failes, if there are some ;)

I saw him in Houston with g'Nr and he used like 10 Guitars , it was fucking epic

Strings - Ernie Ball Custom Gauge, don't remember exactly, but certainly not to thin. Check it out, I have seen this info somewhere on the internet. Picks - Dunlop Tortex, "the hardest ones that they make", as Slash himself says. But that's not the point. The point is in his hands and in what the hell is going on under that top hat in his head ))
what compressor does he use ? if none, how does he gets his sustains like in estranged ?
His tech is so cool damn... prolly the second best job in the world after being Slash and the guy just pushes the buttons on the pedals man Slash obvi would have told him when and where... that good relationship allows Slash to be as creatively free as possible.
Everyone has a preference, I'd just rather be in control of it all.

Slash had a Les Paul that he snapped the neck off in the late 80s doing one of those neck dives on. It's either that original one or it's a replica of that same guitar.

When he first started touring with Myles someone ran on stage and hit Slash from behind during Sweet Child O Mine. The neck on that guitar (a signature copy of his 1988 Les Paul Standard) was broken. He had to swap guitars mid song. That is the guitar with the neck repair they are talking about.
I like the sign at 2:14...
