Notes & Caveats
- No explicit amp model or knob settings for this specific song/riff found; settings estimated based on typical Slash live rig and genre/era.
- No pedalboard photo or official rig rundown for this exact live performance; pedal/effects info inferred from era and audible evidence.
- No evidence of modulation or time-based effects (delay/chorus/flanger) in the riff section; only amp reverb is slightly audible.
- Exact amp model (JCM800, AFD100, or other Marshall) not confirmed for this performance, but Marshall stack is standard for Slash in this era.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Slash typically uses a crunchy, mid-forward Marshall tone with moderate gain for live riffing, keeping the bass tight and mids prominent for cut, with balanced treble and presence for clarity. Reverb is minimal, as is standard for his live rock tones.
