Studio recording, 2011-2012 (Apocalyptic Love album sessions). Slash used his Kris Derrig Les Paul replica for most solos. The amp was a brand-new Marshall Silver Jubilee 100-watt head, not his touring rig. No evidence of pedal-based distortion; amp provided main gain. Effects inferred from audio and Slash's typical studio setup for this era.

Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct numeric amp settings found in sources; settings estimated based on typical Marshall Silver Jubilee usage for Slash in studio context.
  • ⚠️Pedal/effects models not explicitly listed for this song's solo; delay and wah are clearly audible in the solo and included based on audio and Slash's known gear for this era.
  • ⚠️Pickup choice inferred from Slash's standard solo approach and tonal characteristics in the solo section.
  • ⚠️No evidence of chorus, flanger, or phaser in the solo section; only delay and wah are clearly present.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Slash's 'Anastasia' solo uses his signature Les Paul into a Marshall-style amp with high gain for sustain, strong mids for cut, and balanced bass/treble for clarity without harshness. Presence is set for articulation, and reverb is minimal, matching his modern hard rock lead tone.
