November rain amp settings — Positive Grid Spark 40
The Gun N roses guitar tone for “November rain”, dialed in for a Positive Grid Spark 40 with a Epiphone Les Paul Classic. Studio version, Use Your Illusion I (1991) — Main Guitar Solo
Gibson Les Paul Standard (Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro neck pickup) into Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555 / JCM800 2203 with Boss GE-7 mid-boost and subtle studio analog delay/reverb
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |

| Gain | 7 |
| Bass | 5 |
| Mid | 7 |
| Treble | 6 |
| Reverb | 3 |
| Master | 7 |
01Tube Drive (Spark onboard drive block)
Used as a clean front-end boost to add sustain and push the Marshall amp model without adding mud
02Digital Delay (Spark onboard delay block)
Subtle delay (approx 400-450ms) to replicate the studio space behind the lead
The Spark 40 uses the onboard Marshall model alongside an active Tube Drive block set strictly as a clean boost to emulate Slash's pushed frontend and extended sustain. Bass is kept flat at 5 to avoid low-end muddiness on your Les Paul neck pickup, while mids are pushed to 7 to deliver Slash's signature vocal lead bite. Note that the Spark 40 does not have a physical presence control, so top-end clarity is governed by the treble dial. Outro fast solo: switch your guitar toggle to the bridge pickup with the tone knob at 10.
