Since then, there was a period where I had an iPod, which I would take on the road with me for convenience, but the quality of the sound drove me crazy because it was so f***ing digital. I used to walk around with that when I was first starting to play guitar. Those little flat Sony cassette players that had a tape on one end and the speakers on the other. What’s your favourite portable music device of all time? I recently got a new Bronco that I waited two years for but I have to say that it’s really bassy. I listen to music in my car more than anywhere else because it’s where I’m the least distracted. It allows you to edit every single note, which means that people actually put records together not knowing how to play a single note. Pro Tools is a genius piece of technology but I’m not a huge fan because it tends to be overused. It’s really changed the face of recording. The biggest development for recording has to be Pro Tools. What’s the biggest way tech has changed making records? *It is possible to connect electric guitars to smartphones using connectors like iRig or for better quality USB audio cards like Behringer Guitar Link.For Slash, it doesn’t get better than a replica of a 1959 Gibson Les Paul (Picture: Future Publishing) Your new album, 4, is out now. Now connect* your electric guitar to your Android phone (Samsung, LG, Xiaomi, etc…) or Apple iPhone and enjoy the SLASH Tone □ Tap on the EQ Pedal with the reverse smiling face setting to bump up the mids for the solos of November Rain, Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, etc… Set the knobs according to the “real” one.ĥ. Add JCM800from the amplifiers list that is based on the same Marshall amp and the cab and the mics that Slash usesĤ. The best part is, it is cheap and accurate.ģ. We start by downloading it for free if we haven’t already. Now that amp modeling is going mobile with Deplike – Guitar amps & effects (formerly known as Andrig), we can recreate Slash’s guitar tone within our smartphones and tablets.ġ. The Solutionįor the past decade, we guitar players got familiar with digital modelings of tube amplifiers especially with floor processors and desktop versions. Even if we can afford the amp, most of us can’t afford the loudness of a growling tube (valve) amplifier. (We will talk about the amp settings a little later.)īut, we don’t live in sound-proofed studios. Mic’ed up with Shure SM57 dynamic mic and Royer R121 ribbon mic on stage and in the studio. Yet, all of them were running into the same speaker cab which is a 4×12 Marshall 1960AV cabinet loaded with Celestion Vintage 30s. They all have very similar pre- amp section and almost exactly the same tone stack and power- amp section. The other amps are Marshall Silver Jubilee and his signature Marshall AFD 100. Luckily all of them are derivatives of Marshall JCM 800. Through the years, Slash has used a few Marshall Amplifiers for his overdriven (dirty) guitar tone. It affects the sound more than you would imagine. A Gibson’s scale length is 24.75″ while others such as Ibanez, Fender, ESP are 25.5″. It’s of some importance that the guitar we pick must be slightly smaller than Fender Stratocaster. In this guitar course, Danny Gill offers a rare insight into the key elements which make up the character of that much coveted Slash sound, enabling guitar. So we can substitute that Gibson with more affordable Epiphone Les Paul or any single cut LP shaped double humbucker electric guitar. The price of that guitar is off the limits for most of us. His guitar tuning is mostly in Eb, half step down from standard E tuning. Both are Alnico 2 Humbuckers with moderate output. His guitar is loaded with his signature set of Seymour Duncan Pickups (APH-2s). We broke down his guitar rig into pieces, analyzed it and we have found a more affordable solution for you, that includes your smartphone.Īndroid users! Don’t leave! Your phone is compatible too as well as the iPhone… The Guitar It would cost you thousands of dollars, a small fortune. Have you ever dreamed that you walked into a Guitar Center and bought every gear that Slash (Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver) uses?
