i have an MG30gfx amp that i dialled a slash tone into ,on the OD2 channel, then popped it through a TS808 tube screamer then into slash duncans in an epi lp custom. Gets a surprisingly good slash sound at a low price point.

[@tonelok]

Pretty amazing and old news, but this really highlights that without the EQ the riffs sound a bit like Izzy/Gilby/Fortus and then with the EQ you jump to the front of the mix a la Slash.

[@jjruizsoriano]

This guy knows what he's talking about! I have a mini jubilee for some time now and I was playing with some "official" slash settings for the amp (presence 8, bass 7, middle 7, treble 4 1/2, output master 6, lead master 10, input gain 6 1/2), then I came here and saw he's using different settings... ok, let's try that way, and wow! hell yeahhhhh!! now I am completely in the AFD ballpark, perfect tone even in 5w mode (both output and lead master controls to 6 at least). Thank you very much man!! Now the MXR 10 band eq is coming...

[@douglasbordoli7000]

What is the right setting of presence, bass, mid, treble, output master, lead master and gain???

[@jjruizsoriano]

@@douglasbordoli7000Presence 4, Bass 7.5, Middle 5.5, Treble 4.5, Output Master 7, Lead Master 7, Gain between 3-4. It just sounds massive and clean at the same time. I hope it helps... 😉

[@jjruizsoriano]

I checked out the MXR 10 bands eq, but ended getting better results with a Friedman buxom in front of the amp, amazing pedal!!! By the way, watch the presence control, this amp has plenty of it from the beginning. I find it sounds more pleasant to my ears with the control around 2-3. As everybody says the eq section is very sensitive, just a increase/decrease of one point makes the difference.

[@jjruizsoriano]

Quick update after a year. The buxom was good, then I tried the golden pearl and it was even better, but too much high mids and trebles. Finally I got a MXR Timmy, and the amp sounds terrific!! for the first time I have the impression it sounds just right!! I can understand the hype about this pedal for pushing Marshall amps.

What’s the Fx chain order? Are you running them all through the front? You did mention the DD-500’s are in the FX LOOP. The MXR Micro Amp as well as DD3 in the Front... But not the rest Thanks @Dagan !

[@frizzyhairedfool6186]

Slash's first signature amp came from most of his original Jubilees being ripped to shreds at the infamous St. Louis riot back in 91. Slash went to Jim Marshall about having some more Jubilees made because he said if anything happened to the amps he had left, he would be "totally screwed." Jim told him that they could, but it would (apparently) be more cost effective to release the amp as a signature model instead. Also Slash didn't get his Derrig LP in the mid 90s, it was in 1986 just before the recording of Appetite as his guitars he had at the time "sounded like shit" in the studio. Alan Niven (GN'R's manager at the time) got it from a guy called Jim Foote who worked at Music Works in Redondo Beach (he's still there by the way). Yes I know I need to get out more! 🤣

[@EndlngAnthem]

Amp is correct. The delay pedal is what he uses now, but for the original welcome to the jungle effect a roland srv 2000 was used. For whatever reason that rack unit is the only one that gets the timing identical to the actual recording.

[@djskampy]

The Guild Crossroads is used live not on Knockin... (he uses the EDS-1275 for that), but on Civil War, and was used for Anastasia for a while (during '14-'15 tour I believe). He used it on Patience as well during the Velvet revolver tour in '07-'08 (final VR tour ever).

[@helobubba1999]

Very cool! What I can't help wondering is, what are the pros and cons if you use the Blackstar rig you're usually using instead of the Marshall head? It would be interesting to see where the strengths and weakness are.

[@marcosacco5150]

PMTVYK thanks for sharing these valuable info! it sounds really cool! Do you guys know if that there is any other amp that gets close to the Jubilee tone? It would be great to have a clean channel in a set up and the Jubilee sadly doesn't have one...

[@galedmaghraby]

he uses both the silver jubilee and the jcm 800 2203 but the 2203 he changes the tubes to 6550 for a fatter brighter tone and the afd100 is stock too
