Hey guys, I know there is a thread that asks about cloning Slash's sound. Im a HUGE Slash fan and have really been lusting after his tone, all of his eras really, but just as a reference, let says that I like the tone on the Illusions the best (The Garden, Locomotion, Right Next Door to Hell etc). Ive been taking a break from playing blues and jazz stuff and going back to straight up rock and roll (GNR, AC/DC, Aerosmith mostly).
So I looked on the bay for some Slash type amps. Seen the 2555s, seen some other silver jubilees and the slash signature head and really fell in love with them. I kinda do not want to rely on ebay and bust my ass looking for the right one when the time comes. So I was wondering about the JCM 800 reissue 2203 model. Do they sound like a jubilee or something of the such? I looked on some Slash fan sites and it said that he used some JCM 800s. They were made in similar years (the 800 in 83 and the jubilees in 87). So would I get a good slash sound with a JCM 800? My guitar is a stock LP R7 Goldtop (2005) and an Epiphone LP Standard (2004) that is in the shop getting outfitted with PGs. Id use mostly the R7 obviously, but I am not putting Alnico Pro IIs in it, its got too much moral value to me. If I decided to go and clone Slash's sound, Id buy a Boss EQ pedal, and I already have my Crybaby Classic. Being familiar with Orange amps and cabs, Id buy a 2 x 12 (I dont need a 4 x 12) Orange cab which are loaded with Vintage 30s (Slash uses them). Any suggestions? Thanks.
