Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct source confirms exact pedal or amp settings for this specific Velvet Revolver live cover; settings estimated based on Slash's typical Velvet Revolver-era live rig and genre conventions.
  • ⚠️No evidence of additional effects or pedals used for this riff section; Velvet Revolver live tone is typically Les Paul → Marshall with minimal effects.
  • ⚠️Pickup type and amp model inferred from Slash's documented Velvet Revolver live gear; no explicit confirmation for this specific performance.
  • ⚠️Pedal/effects list is empty due to lack of evidence and no audible effects beyond amp distortion.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Velvet Revolver's live cover of 'Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love' features Slash's signature crunchy, mid-forward Les Paul/Marshall tone with enough gain for sustain but not 80s metal saturation. The EQ is balanced for classic hard rock, with slightly boosted mids and moderate bass/treble, and only subtle reverb typical for live rock mixes.
