Re: amp EQ settings for that Slash Marshall sound

that doesnt surprise me. marshalls have plenty of high end even with the treble off but sound glorious when cranked up, everything fills in under those highs so perfectly

Re: amp EQ settings for that Slash Marshall sound

I've played through his studio rig and I have to say, it had WAY more treble than I expected. Also, a little secret, when he tracks, his amp is cranking at stage volume and he's standing right in front of it.

Another trick I learned from an assistant engineer who had an opportunity to work with Mike Clink is he put an SM57 straight into the seam of the center cone of his speaker to get the Appetite recorded tone.

There's a great article on your website, the interview with Ace Bergman. I guess in a studio setting, a LPF is handy (and a must anyways).

RI: I put a pair of the Slash pickups in my Les Paul recently. There’s a lot of treble there.

Ace: A lot of our treble is reined in by just how much cable we use. He has a long stage lead going into the wah, which is not very well buffered, and then that goes into a really long lead that goes back to me. It has to be long because when we do stadiums I’ll be quite a long way from his wah pedal. I’ve put buffers in there before, and it adds more treble, and Slash looks at me like “what did you do?”. It’s not, “Wow, now I have more high end”, it’s, “This isn’t what we dialled in.” We also roll back the treble and presence on the amps. They’re both back past noon. Slash has very acute hearing. One of the reasons he’s so good is that he knows exactly what he wants to hear, and he chases that sound until he gets it.
